3. All backfilling, filling and grading, removal of excess material from site.
4. Protection of property, work and structures, workmen, and other people from damage and injury.

LINES, GRADES, AND BENCHMARKS

Stake out accurately the lines of the building and of the other structures included in the contract, establishment of grades thereof, after which secure approval
before any excavation work is commenced.

Erect basic batter boards and basic reference marks, at such places where they will not be disturbed during the construction of the foundations.

EXCAVATION

Structural excavations shall be to the depths indicated bearing values. Excavations for footings and foundations carried below required depths shall be filled with
concrete and bottom of are leveled. All structural excavations shall extend a sufficient distance from walls and footings to allow for proper erection and dismantling
of forms for installation of service and for inspection. All excavations shall be inspected and approved before pouring any concrete, laying underground services
of placing selected fill materials.

FILLING AND BACKFILLING

After the forms have been removed from the footings, piers, foundations, walls, etc., and when concrete work is hard enough to resist pressure resulting from fill,
backfilling may then be done. Materials excavated may be used for backfilling. All fillings shall be placed in layers not exceeding six (6) inches in thickness, each
layer being thoroughly compacted and rammed by wetting, tamping, or rolling.

PLACING AND COMPACTING FILL

Common Fill – shall be approved site excavated materials. Free from roots, stumps, and other perishable and objectionable matter.
Select Fill – shall be placed where indicated and shall consist of crushed gravel, crushed rocks or a combination thereof. The material shall be free from adobe,

Before placing of material, the surface upon which it will be placed shall be cleared of all bush roots, vegetation and debris, scarified and thoroughly wetted to
insure good bonding between the grounds.

DISPOSAL OF SURPLUS MATERIALS

Any excess materials remaining after completion of the earth work shall be disposed of by hauling and/or spreading in nearby spoil areas designated by the Owner.
Excavated material deposited in spoil areas shall be uniformly graded.

II. CONCRETE AND REINFORCED MATERIAL

GENERAL

Unless otherwise specified herein, concrete works shall conform to the requirements of the National Structural Code of the Philippines. Full cooperation shall be
given other trades to install embedded items. Provision shall be made for setting items not placed in the forms. Before concrete is placed, embedded items shall
have been inspected and tested before concrete aggregate and other materials shall have been done.

MATERIALS

1. Cement for the concrete shall conform to the requirements of specifications for Portland cement. Water used for mixing concrete shall be clean and free from
other injurious amounts of oil, acid, alkaline, organic materials, or other substances that may be deterious to concrete or steel.

2. Fine Aggregate shall consist of hard, tough, durable, uncoated particles. The shape of the particles shall be generally rounded or cubicle and reasonably free
from flat or elongated particles. The stipulated percentages of fines in the sand shall be obtained either by the processing of the natural sand or by the production
of the suitable graded manufactured sand.

Class - Cement : Sand : Gravel
Class A - 1 : 2 : 4
Class B - 1 : 2 ½ : 5
Class C - 1 : 3 : 6
* If concrete shall be furnished by batching plant, follow standard engineering procedures as per pouring and testing.
2. Class of Concrete – concrete shall have 28 day cylinder strength of 3,000 psi, for all concrete work, unless otherwise indicated in the plans.
3. Mixing – concrete shall be machine mixed. Mixing shall begin within 30 minutes after the cement has been added to the aggregates. In the absence of a concrete
mixer, manual mixing is allowed, only on minor masonry works.
FORMS

1. General – Forms shall be used whenever necessary to confine the concrete and shape it to the required lines, or to insure the concrete from contamination
with materials caving from adjacent excavated surfaces. Forms hall have sufficient strength to withstand the pressure resulting from placement and vibration of
the concrete, and maintained rigidly in correct position. Forms shall be sufficiently tight to prevent loss of mortar from the concrete.

2. Cleaning and Oiling of Forms – Before placing the concrete, the contact surfaces of the form shall be cleaned of encrustations of mortar, the grout of other
foreign material, and shall be coated with a commercial form oil that will effectively prevent sticking and will not stain the concrete surfaces.

substances that would reduce or destroy its bond with concrete.

2. Reinforcement shall be placed accurately and secured in place the use of metal or concrete supports, spacers and ties. The supports shall be of sufficient strength
to maintain the operation. The supports shall be used in such a manner that they may not be exposed or contribute in any way, to the discoloration or the
deterioration of the concrete.

CONVEYING AND PLACING CONCRETE

1. Conveying – concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to forms as rapidly as practicable by methods which will prevent segregation or loss of ingredients. There
will be no vertical drop greater than 1.5 meters except where suitable equipment is provided to prevent segregation and where specifically authorized.

2. Placing – Concrete shall worked readily into the corners and angles of the forms and around all reinforcements and embedded items without permitting the
material to segregate. Concrete shall be deposited as close as possible to its final position in the form so that flow within the mast does not exceed two (2) meters
and consequent segregation is reduced to a minimum near forms or embedded items, or elsewhere as directed. The discharge shall be so controlled that the
concrete may be effectively compacted into horizontal layers not exceeding 30 centimeters in depth within the maximum lateral movement specified.

3. Time interval between mixing and placing. Concrete shall be placed before initial set has occurred and before it has contained its water content for more than
45 minutes. Maximum lead time shall be one hour.

4. Consolidation of Concrete – Concrete shall be consolidated by hand scraping and tamping, with the use of proper tool or equipment.

5. Placing concrete through reinforcement – In placing through reinforcement, care shall be taken so that no segregation of the course aggregates occurs. On the
bottom of the beams and slabs, where the congestion of steel makes placing difficult, a layer of mortar with the same cement-sand ratio as used in concrete shall
be first deposited to cover the surfaces.
