PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 SUBGRADE PREPARATION A. Construct subgrade true to grades and cross-sections shown on Drawings. Excavation, backfill, fill and compaction shall conform to requirements specified in Section 02200 - EARTHWORK. Check the compacted subgrade for grade and cross-section using template supported on side forms. Provide polyethylene vapor barrier sheets with minimum 150 mm overlapping before placing reinforcement and concrete.

A.

Formwork shall conform to the requirements specified in Section 03100 CONCRETE FORMWORK. Set forms to the required grades and lines, rigidly braced and secured. Check completed formwork for grade and alignment to the following tolerances: 1. 2. Grade: Plus or minus 3 mm. Alignment: Plus or minus 6 mm at any point and no more than 3 mm deviation from a 3 meter straight edge.

B.

C. 3.3

Clean forms after each use and coat with form release agent.

REINFORCEMENT A. Locate, place, and support reinforcement in conformance with Section 03200 CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT.

3.4

CONCRETE PLACEMENT A. B. Conform to the requirements of Section 03300 - CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE for mixing, transportation and placing concrete and as specified herein. Do not place concrete until sub-grade and forms have been checked for line and grade. Provide polyethylene sheet vapor barrier over sub-grade before placing reinforcement and concrete. Do not place concrete around structures or frames until they have been brought to the required grade and alignment. Place concrete in one course monolithic construction for the full width and depth of walks, and in staggered and checkered manner. Spread concrete as soon as it is deposited on the sub-grade using methods which prevent segregation of the mix. Consolidate concrete along the face of forms and adjacent to transverse joints with an internal vibrator. Keep vibrator away from joint assemblies, reinforcement, or side forms. Use square-faced shovels for hand spreading and consolidation. Consolidate with care to prevent dislocation of reinforcing and joint materials. Strike-off fresh concrete and compact until a layer of mortar is brought to the surface. Finish the surface to grade and cross section with a trowel smooth and/or broom finish as required. Perform concrete finishing using machine or hand method as approved by the Engineer. Broom transversely to the line of foot traffic. If necessary, apply water to the surface immediately before brooming. Broom finish shall match the approved sample.

Unless indicated otherwise on the drawings, mark the surface of walks into rectangles measuring not less than 1 m not over 2 m, unless approved otherwise. Use a scoring tool which leaves the edges rounded. Concrete Curing: Conform to the requirements specified in Section 03300 - CASTIN-PLACE CONCRETE. Hot Weather Placing: Conform to the requirements specified in Section 03300 02500-4 Concrete Walkways

CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE. 3.5 JOINTS A. General: 1. 2. B. Construct expansion, construction, isolation, and contraction joints true-toline with the face perpendicular to the surface of the walks. Construct transverse joints at right angles to the pavement centerline, unless otherwise indicated.

Contraction Joints: 1. Provide contraction joints, to section the walkway into areas as shown on the drawings. Construct weakened-plane joints to a depth equal to at least 1/4 the walkway thickness, as follows: a Tooled Joints: Form weakened-plane joints in the fresh concrete by grooving the top portion of the slabs with a recommended cuttings tool and finishing edges with a joiner. Saw Cut Joints: Saw cut to a width equal to 1/2 depth and fill with joint sealant.

b C.

Construction Joints: 1. Place construction joints at the end of pours and at locations where placement operations are stopped for a period of more than 1/2 hour, except where such pours terminate at expansion joints. Construct joints as shown on Drawings. Where not shown, use standard metal keyway-section forms.

2. D.

Expansion and Isolation Joints: 1. 2. Provide 6 mm wide expansion joints at returns and intervals not greater than 9 m along the walkway, unless otherwise indicated on the drawings. Provide pre-molded joint filler for expansion joints and isolation joints abutting concrete paving and curbs, gutters, catch basins, manholes, inlets, structures, walks, and other fixed objects. Extend joint fillers full width and depth of the joint, and not less than 12 mm or more than 25 mm below the finished pavement surface where joint sealer is indicated. If no joint sealer, place top of joint filler flush with finished concrete surfaces. Use joint fillers in one-piece lengths for the full width being placed wherever possible. Where more than one length is required, lace or clip joint filler sections together. Protect the top edge of the joint filler during concrete placement with a metal cap or other temporary material. Remove protection after both sides of joint are placed.

CURING A. Protect and cure finished concrete walks in conformance with the requirements of Section 03300 - CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE. Use moist-curing methods of initial curing whenever possible. After removal of forms, extend curing to exposed edges.

3.8

FIELD QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Conform to the applicable requirements specified in Section 03300 - CAST-INPLACE CONCRETE.

3.9

REPAIR AND PROTECTION A. B. C. Repair or replace broken or defective walks as directed by the Engineer. Protect the walks from damage until acceptance of the Work. Exclude pedestrian traffic from walks for at least 14 days after placement. Sweep concrete walkways and paving, and wash free of stains, discolorations, dirt, and other foreign material.
