5. WORK PROCEDURE

5.1 Marked the concrete surface for the chipping to be carried out as per requirement.
5.2 Concrete chipping by applicable chipping tools & method for the concrete chipping
marked line. This will facilitate a clear and clean termination of chipping.Concrete
chipping shall not be deeper 300mm & wider than 400mm.
5.3 Ensure that the Reinforcement shall not be damaged and violates ASTM A775 .
Otherwise it will be replaced as per IFC drawing requirements.
5.4 After chipping, remove and clean the reinforcement for remaining concrete debris.
Retouch the damage coating as necessary. Touch-up paint shall be an approved
material.
5.5 Install electrical RGS conduite as per SAES-P-104 8.1 Underground conduit
8.1.1 Direct buried conduit shall be PVC conduit Type DB-120 (minimum
modulus of elasticity 500,000 psi) per NEMA TC 6 & 8 or Type EPC-40-PVC per
NEMA TC 2.
8.1.2 Concrete encased conduit shall be PVC conduit Type EB-35 or DB-120 (minimum
modulus of elasticity 500,000 psi) per NEMA TC 6 & 8 or Type EPC-40-PVC per
NEMA TC 2.
8.9.3 Conduit fittings for direct buried PVC coated rigid steel conduit shall
be factory PVC coated.
8.9.6 Fittings for NEMA TC 6 & 8 Type PVC conduit shall be in accordance
with NEMA TC 9. Fittings for NEMA TC 2 Type PVC conduit shall
be in accordance with NEMA TC 3. TC 9 and TC 3 fittings are
generally not interchangeable.
5.6 Prepare the area for pouring concrete. Clean the area from any dust, rubbish materials,
oil or grease, etc. which could impair adhesion.
5.7 Apply bonding agent on the concrete surface properly by using brush to ensure proper
adhesion between the surface of concrete and 5000PSI concrete
5.10 After the area is prepared for pouring, an RFI shall be raise prior to pouring the
concrete 5000 PSI
