8.3.Repositioning the starter bars

1. Starter bars for the crane opening slab shall be left in the cast slab in a bent-up shape for allowing the section of
the crane to pass through, as shown below in Figure 3: Reinforcement position before closing.

Figure 3: Reinforcement position before closing

2. During the course of the project these starter bars shall be kept protected by approved rebar corrosion prevention
system. To prevent any water from dripping to the floor below a 50mm high fillet shall be made around the floor
opening.
3. Cleaning of the Starter bars: Prior to casting the slab the starter bars shall be straightened and brushed clean using
a wire brush. The sides of the opening shall be made rough by hacking to improve the bond between the new and
the old concrete, and applying bonding agent.
1. Fixing of the Slab Formwork: The formwork shall be fixed as per the latest approved shop drawings. All Safety
precautions shall be followed during the assembly process. When fixing the formwork care shall be taken to
prevent any debris from getting in between the old concrete and the shutter.
2. Fixing Reinforcement: Once the formwork is inspected and approved by the Consultant the placement of the
reinforcement opening in the slab shall commence.
Figure 4 : Reinforcement position during closing

3. The Slab reinforcement bars shall be fixed in accordance to the approved shop drawings and project specifications.
The quantity, bar splices, spacing, rebar sizes and bending shall be verified. The fixing work shall be checked to
ensure that all rebar were fixed properly in the proper location.
4. Sufficient bottom concrete spacers should be provided to maintain the concrete cover of reinforcing bars. The
rebar shall be tied manually using tie wires. Enough chair bars shall be provided to maintain the correct distance
between the top and bottom bars. The spacers shall be of sufficient strength to take the live and loads during the
installation and the casting phases.
5. Requests for MEP installations shall be raised to check the sizes, locations and levels of Electrical works and
Mechanical works embedded items.
6. An air compressor shall be employed to clean the area and remove all the accumulated debris.
8.4.Pouring of Concrete
1. Upon receiving the ready mix concrete the regular sampling and testing procedures shall be followed.
2. Pouring/ Depositing of concrete shall be done by Contractor’s competent site personnel’s and workers in
accordance to the approved shop drawings and project specifications. Any concrete in the work which has partly
hardened or which has been contaminated with foreign objects shall not be used.
3. When concrete placement is done using concrete pump the vertical drop of concrete shall not exceed 1.5m to
prevent secretion. Vibrators shall be systematically applied, sufficient duration and intensity to compact the
concrete thoroughly. Over vibration shall be avoided to prevent concrete segregation. A spare vibrator shall be
provided for every three vibrators used for in case of breakdown. Concrete of an approved mix shall be used form
an approved supplier.
8.5.Curing
1. Curing and protection of concrete shall comply with the guidelines given in the project specifications. Concrete
protection and curing shall be done in such a manner as to prevent the evaporation of moisture from the concrete
and injury of the surface. Immediately after the concrete has set, curing shall commence. As soon as the concrete
has stiffened sufficiently after not more than 24hrs, the surface shall be covered by absorptive mats of fabric and
kept continuously wet for 7 days. Any curing compound materials used for concrete curing is subject for approval of
the consultant.
