SCOPE
This procedure covers materials for, and the batching, mixing, transporting placing,
compacting curing and protecting of, all concrete for use in the civil works.

4.

EQUIPMENT
1. Mixture M/C.
2. Vibrator.
3. Cube Mould.
4. Slump Cone.
5. Cube Testing M/C.
6. Weigh Batcher.

5.

MATERIALS
Approved Material Cement, Coarse aggregate, Fine aggregate, Water and admixtures.

6.

PROCEDURE
The following sequence will be adopted for producing quality concrete.

6.1

First of all sources of constructions materials will be identified.

6.1.1

Cement:
Cement shall be of approved source / Manufacturer from TECPL.
Conforming to IS: 269 MTC of each consignment shall be submitted to TECPL /
GSPL and one lot of cement shall be tested in approved lab during design mix.
Cement shall be tested in lab as per IS: 269 (if OPC)

6.1.2

Aggregates:

6.1.2(a) Coarse aggregate will be procured from quarries located at Sevalia from approved
sources only.
6.1.2(b) Fine Aggregate will be procured from Quarries located at Bhadarpur or any other
Suitable quarries approved by TECPL.

6.1.3

Water:
Water from Bore well near S.V. Stations will be used for mixing in concrete and
curing shall confirm to IS 456: 2000.

6.1.4

Admixtures:
Admixtures will be used in concrete if required as per requirement and will be
procured from renowned manufacturers like fosroc/ SIKA LAB / Structural water
proofing etc.

6.2

After identification of sources of material, Test reports will be submitted as per

GTS/Z/02/004 Clause no: 1.6.2 and 3.2.

6.3

Materials used in concrete production will be properly delivered, stored and handled
properly as per GTS/Z/02/0004 Clause No.1.7.

6.3.1

CEMENT:
Cement will be delivered in bags and stored on concrete/wood/steel/ Platform.
Cement shall be stacked inside the well ventilated shed & each consignment shall be
stacked separately.

6.3.2

AGGREGATES:
Aggregates will be stored on concrete/steel floors and will be separated with suitable
bins to avoid intermixing.

6.4

Full fledged laboratory will be established at site in due course. Till such time we
propose to do concrete Mix design and tests in recognized institutes such as GERI and
M.S. University Baroda. After the finilisation of Mix design and approval from
TECPL / GSPL we will start the actual Concreting work.

6.5

BATCHING
The aggregates and cement will be batched by means of suitable weigh batching
machines and materials will be handled in Steel Boxes of specified size. Temperature
of cement will be kept below 40C at the time of incorporation into the mix.
Convenient system of measuring water to the concrete Mixture will be installed.

6.6

MIXING CONCRETE
Suitable concrete mixers (10/7) of approved type will be used for Mixing concrete
materials including water. Water shall be mixed with the help of proper measuring
jars.

TRANSFER / PLACEMENT OF CONCRETE

Placement of concrete will start only after the owners representative has checked and
approved the positioning, fixing and condition of reinforcement and any other items
to be embedded and the cleanliness, alignment and suitability of the containing
surfaces or formwork.
The concrete will be discharged from the mixer to the receiving Platform. Mixers will
be placed near the pour area and placement will be done through Head load or
through chute. Chute height will be kept upto 2.0 mt, in case if it is necessary to
increase the height of chute, then owners representatives approval will be taken.
Concrete placement shall be as follows GTS / Z / 02 / 004 clause No 3.1.2 of
specification.

6.8

COMPACTING OF CONCRETE
Concrete will be compacted within 30 minutes of water being added to the Mix.
Approved internal vibrators of size varying 25/40mm diameter to 75 mm will be used
for compacting concrete.

6.9

CURING AND PROTECTION

6.9.1

For Horizontal Surfaces

The following procedure will be followed.
1.
2.
3.

Immediately after compacting and finishing, polythene sheeting will be

placed.
After final set, Polythene will be replaced by wet hessian, which will be
immediately covered with polythene; hessian will be kept always wet.
After 7 days hessian and polythene will be removed. After getting approval
from owners representative either area will be filled with water upto 7 days or
curing compound will be sprayed.

6.9.2 For Vertical Surfaces

1. After stripping of formwork, concrete surface will be wrapped with wet hessian
and then covered with polythene.
2. After 7 days curing compound of approved quality will be sprayed on concrete
surface.
6.10

FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

6.10.1 Testing Of Cement:

If desired by owners representative, cement will again be tested.
Test certificate of each batch shall be presented.

Testing of Water: As per IS 456.
5.10.2 6.10.3 Testing Of Concrete:
Frequency of sampling of concrete will be as per IS 456 Page No. 29 Clause No. 15
and GTS/Z/02/004 Clause No. 3.2.4.and 3.2.5 steel cubes of size 150mm X 150mm X
150mm will be used.
6.10.4 Workability Of Concrete:
Slump test will be done in order to check workability of concrete.
7.
