400 / 250 / 200 mm dia.
Welding
HDPE pipes are jointed by BUTT fusion welding method with the help of electric heat
(Mirror) and hydraulically operated welding jack.
Precautions
Since critical parameters for sound welding joint are temperature and pressure, welding
methods should insure proper temperature and pressure by using proper equipments. The welding
area has to be protected from adverse weather condition like rain water, moisture, rough wind ,
dust and low ambient temperature (less than 50 C.) Primary inspection of pipes should be done for
ensuring defect free pipe before striating welding.
Welding Procedure
Two ends of pipe to be welded are to be cut perpendicular to the pipe axis and then cleaned
and planed by using proper planning tool. The pipes are fixed in welding jack and aligned properly in
axial direction. The pipes then are pressed against a hot plate (Called heating mirror or s imply
mirror) till a bead of molten material is formed. The mirror is electrically heated by in-built electric
resistance heating coil. The heating should be uniform all around mirror plate on both sides. The
mirror should be provided with a temperature control service so that during welding the surface
temperature is automatically maintained within the required limit i.e. 200 + 100 C. Proper Teflon
cloth covering should be provided on mirror surface to avoid sticking of melted HDPE materials on
plate surface.
After attaining the welding temperature of 200 C on mirror surface the pipe ends are
simultaneously brought in contact with the heating surface of mirror. This is done by using
hydraulically operated welding jack. Initial contact pressure is applied which is maintained till the
uniform ring of molten bead is achieved. Then the contact pressure is reduced until proper fusion
takes place.
After proper fusion, the welding mirror is removed carefully without damaging the head.
The time of removal of the mirror should be as short as possible. After removal of mirror, pipe
ends are brought immediately to contact with each other under initial welding pressure which is
gradually increased to final welding pressure. This pressure depends on the total welding surface of
pipe.
The final welding pressure is maintained to be applied till the joint is cooled down to ambient
temperature naturally. Artificial cooling such as wrapping with wet cloth, spraying of water etc. are
not allowed.
Inspection of Joints.:
The visual inspection of each joint should be done to ensure correct bead formation. Weld
joint should be checked for axial alignment of welded pipes.
13 | P a g e
Laying of Pipes:
The required length of HDPE pipes are made alongside the trench. The pipe is lowered into
the trench carefully avoiding damage to pipe and joints.
Trench:
Since the welding of pipe is done outside of trench, the width of trench should be kept as
minimum as possible, Normally pipe O.D. plus 300 mm width should be sufficient for laying. The
depth of trench will be as per the requirement of client depending on level survey (L.S.) Here in our
case the earth cover of average 1.2 mtr. On top of pipe is to be provided. Hence the depth of
trench will be pipe O.D. plus 1.2 mtr.
The trench should be made as straight as possible wherever necessary, the trench can be
made with smooth curve but not below allowed bending radius of HDPE pipe, which is 25 times of
O.D.
The bottom of trench should be properly dressed and made free from any sharp objects.
Laying and Backfilling:
Laying of pipe lengths to be done carefully from one end without giving any impact on pipe.
After laying of pipe, trench should backfilled with the layers of good earth of dug soil as available.
Extra soil will be embedded on trench which will be compacted by curing with water.
Hydro Testing:
The pipeline to be tested with fitted with metal blind flange at both ends with the help of
sub end (pipe end), These blind flanges are fitted with necessary arrangement for supplying water
into pipeline, air valve for air drain and pressure guage. After filling the water into pipeline,
pressurized water is supplied with the help of pressure pump. When the required test pressure (i.e.
6 kg/cm2 in our case) is achieved, pressure pump is stopped and valve is closed.
This pressure will be kept for 30 minutes and there should not be any drastic drop in
pressure whole pipeline route under test is inspected for checking any leakage. If there is no
leakage, the pressure of 6 kg/cm2 will remain same and it test is believed to be satisfactory. Please
note that there could be slight deep in pressure due to leakage from flange / valve or due to
expansion of HDPE pipe under pressure. This drop upto 0.5 kg/cm2 is normally not considered.
Connection of HDPE to M.S.pipe
This connection will be made by using metal flanged. We shall provide flange at the end of
HDPE pipe by using HDPE stub end. Matching flange connection from M.S.Pipe will be made by M.S.
Pipe agency to which flange of HDPE pipe line will be connected by bolting and proper rubber gasket

aggregates may be permitted by the Engineer, the total quantity of fine and coarse aggregates,
however shall not in any case exceed the quantity in the above table 1. For the purpose of this
tender the ordinary concrete specified by strengths as m100, m150, m200, shall be considered to
be equivalent to nominal mixes specified as 1:3:6, 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 respectively, and any mention to
these mixes under one system of nomenclature the strength requirements for 28 days and 7 days
test under both the system of nomenclature shall be in conformity with those in table(2) & (3) given
here in after. The cement concrete shall be tested for compressive strength at the age of 28 days
on 15 cm. cubes in accordance with the latest I.S. 516 – 1959.
Methods of test for strength of concrete and the strengths developed for all types of

compressive strength. The 7 days strength of the various concrete mixes shall not be less than the
values given in the Table No.3 below.
However the 28 days compressive strength along shall be the criterion for acceptance or
rejection of the concrete, unless the Engineer is satisfied of the relation between the 7 days
compressive strength and the 28days compressive strength, established by carrying out a number
of tests in which case he may relax the test frequency of 28 days compressive strength specified
here in after.

All test strength specified above are exclusively for 15cm. size cubes & they shall be
adequately modified to suit the requirement of 15cm. dia. and 30cm. long cylinder, the strength
values obtained should be multiplied by 1.25 to obtain the equivalent cube strength.
Controlled concrete :
58 | P a g e
Controlled concrete when used in plain and reinforced concrete structure shall be in
grades M100, M150, M200, M250, M300 and M400. In controlled concrete the determination of
the proportions of cement, aggregate and water to attain the required strength shall be made with
the preliminary test by designing the concrete mix.
The concrete mix shall be designed to have an average strength corresponding to the
values specified for preliminary tests in Table – 4. The proportions chosen should be such that the
concrete is of adequate workability for the conditions prevailing on the work in question, and can be
properly compacted with the means available.
The maximum total quantity of aggregate by weight per 50kg of cement shall not exceed
450kg except where otherwise specifically permitted by the Engineer.
Except where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Engineer that supply of properly
graded aggregate of uniform quality can be maintained over the period of work, the grading of
aggregate in different sizes and blending them in the right proportions when required, the
different sizes being stocked in separate stock piles. The material should be stock piled for several
hours preferably a day before use. The material should of coarse and fine aggregate should be
checked as frequently as possible, the frequency for a given job of being determined by the
Engineer, to ensure that the suppliers are maintaining the grading uniform with that of the samples
used in the preliminary tests.
In proportioning concrete, the quantity of both cement and aggregate should be
determined by weights. Where the weight of cement is determined by accepting the maker’s weight
per bag, reasonable number of bags should be weighted separately to check the net weight where
the cement is weighed on the site and not in the bags it should be weighed separately from the
aggregate. Water should be either measured by volume in calibrated tanks or weighed. All
measuring equipment should be maintained in a clean serviceable condition, and their accuracy
periodically checked.
It is most important to maintain the water cement ratio constant at its correct value, to
this end determination of moisture contents in both fine and coarse aggregates should be made as
frequently as possible the frequency for a given job being determined by the Engineer according to
weather conditions. The amount of the added water should be adjusted to compensate for any
observed variation in the aggregate, IS:2386 – (Part.III) 1963 Methods of tests for aggregates
for concrete Part – III specific gravity, density voids, absorption and bulking may be referred to.
To allow for the variation in weight of aggregate due to variation in moisture content, suitable
adjustment in the weight of aggregate should also be made.
No substitution in materials used on the work or alternations in the established
proportions, except as permitted in the above paragraph, shall be made without additional tests to
show that the quality and strength of concrete are satisfactory.
Workability of the concrete should be checked at frequent intervals. The slump test, or
where facilities exist, the compacting factor test in accordance with I.S. : 1199 –1959 Method of
sampling and analysis of concrete may be adopted for this purpose.
A competent person should be employed whose first duty will be to supervise all stages in
the preparation and placing of the concrete. All works test specimens should be made and site test
carried out under his direct supervision in order to get a relatively quicker idea of the quality of
concrete or compressive strength test at 7 days may be carried out in addition to 28 days
compressive strength test. In all cases the 28 days compressive strength specified in table –4
should alone be the criterion for the acceptance or rejection of the concrete. If however, from
tests carried in a particular job over a reasonably long period it has been established to the
satisfaction of the Engineer that a suitable ratio between 28 days compressive strength and
compressive strength at 7 days may be accepted, the Engineer may suitably relax the frequency of
59 | P a g e
28 days compressive strength test specified in table – 8, provided the expected strength values at
the specified early age are consistently met. For this purpose the value given in table – 5 may taken
for general guidance in the case of concrete made of ordinary cement. For detailed specification
regarding preliminary and work test relevant paragraphs are reproduced from I.S :1199 – 1959.

Note :
(A) Preliminary test :
A test conducted in a laboratory on the trial mix concrete produced in the laboratory with
the object of :
(1) Designing a concrete mix before the actual concreting operation start.
(2) Determining the adjustment required in the design mix when there is a change in the
materials used during the execution of work or
(3) Verifying the strength of concrete mix.
(B) Work Test :
A test conducted either in the field or in a laboratory on the specimens made on the
works out of the concrete being used on the works.
Note :
Size of cubes :
In the works test with the approval of the Engineer 10cm cubes may be used in place of
15cm cubes provided the maximum nominal size of aggregate does not exceed 20mm. Even the use
of 15cm cubes should normally be restricted to concrete having a maximum nominal size of
aggregate not exceeding 40mm. where concrete with aggregate larger than 40mm is required to be
tested, the size of cubes should be specified by the Engineer keeping in view that generally the
length of side of the cubes should be about four times the maximum nominal size of aggregate in
the concrete constituting the cube specimen.
Strength in relation to size of the cubes :
where 10cm cubes are used the values obtained from tests on 10cm cube shall be reduced
to the extent established by comparative preliminary tests, with 10 & 15 cm cubes in the absence of
such comparative tests by 10% of the value determined from the test, in order to give the
equivalent strength for 15 cm cubes where cubes larger than 15 cm are adopted, generally no
modification is necessary unless otherwise specified by the Engineer.
Note 3 :Cylinder Strength
60 | P a g e
Comparative strength tests may, with the approval of the Engineer be conducted on 15cm
diameter and 30cm high cylinders in accordance with I.S 516-1959 instead on cubes. Where
cylinder strength modified according to the formula.
Minimum cylinder compressive strength required = 0.8 compressive strength specified for

The central Road Research Institute, New Delhi has carried tests with a view to
establishing a relation between water – cement ratio and the compressive strength of concrete
using ordinary Portland cements manufactured in the country in accordance with I.S.:269-1976
ordinary and low heat Portland cement.
As a result of these, it has been considered advisable to give graphs showing the
relationships between the compressive strength of the concrete mixes with different water cement
ratios and the seven days compressive strength of cement tested in accordance with I.S.:269 –
1976. The Road Research Institute graphs (design curves) may be referred. As they would be of
some assistance in obtaining the water-cement ratio for trial mixes of concrete.

(6) Procedure and Guidance for testing for concrete
Preliminary Test :
Preliminary test cubes or cylinders for controlled concrete shall be made in the laboratory
prior to the commencement of the work in the manner and at frequencies laid down in the latest
I.S.:456 – 1978 Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete. The testing shall be carried out
at the GERI laboratory at Baroda or at any other approved laboratory at contractor’s cost.
Work Test :
During concreting operations, samples of concrete as placed in the work shall be taken
every day and a set of 6 cubes or cylinders their compressive strength. The consistency (slump)
test shall also be made and the slump recorded.
All concrete cubes or cylinders shall be tested for compressive strengths as specified in
I.S 456 and 516 at the field testing laboratory of at any approved material testing laboratory. The
above specifications cover concrete mixes of grades m100 and above ordinarily it is not necessary
to test the compressive strengths of mix grade m100 as it is generally used for nonstructural
purposes. However where this mix (M 100) is used extensively on works (i.e. more than 75 m³ in
one work) it shall be tested in the same manner as other grades of concrete used for structural
purpose. The minimum strengths of various grades of concrete both at the age of 7 days and 28
days are given in table 2 & 3.
In the case of concrete of mix m 150 and above the Engineer may not insist on the testing
of concrete if the quantity of concrete, if the quantity of concrete to be paid on any particularly
day is less than 10cm, if however the quantity exceeds 10cm. test specimens must be taken and sent
to the field testing laboratory or at any approved laboratory for testing.
62 | P a g e
6 specimens are made for every sample and three of them tested for 7 days strengths as
mentioned earlier the 28 days strengths of concrete shall along form the criterion for acceptance
or rejection of the concrete.
With this point in view the concrete samples shall be tested both for 7 days strength as
well as 28 days strength at the start of the work and continued till the Engineer is satisfied that a
proper relation between the 7 days compressive and the 28 days compressive strength is
established in which case be may decide to relax the frequency if testing the concrete cubes for
the 28 days compressive strength.
If the average strength of specimen tested at the age of 7 days 28 days is not less than
the strength specified in table 2 & 3, then the test shall be considered that only out of 3
consecutive tests may give value less than specified strength but not less than 90% of the specified
strength.
If the tests are unsatisfactory, the contractors shall take immediate steps and carry out
remedial measures as may be directed by the Engineer in their own modules. The contractors shall
pay usual testing fees carried out in the approved laboratory. These fees may vary from should
arrange to bring their own moulds for taking samples.
Consistency and slump test :
The workability of concrete shall be checked at frequent intervals. The slump test shall be
carried out in accordance with the standard method given under. I.S. specification mentioned above.
The slump shall be as less as practicable consistent with the efficient working and compacting of
concrete. The slump shall not exceed 64mm but the Engineer may, under exceptional conditions,
permit greater slump up to a limit of 150mm. The standard consistency test shall be applied at least
once in a day while the concreting is in progress.
Moisture contents in the Aggregates :
The moisture contents in the aggregates shall be determined in the field in accordance
with the latest I.S. No. 2386 – 1963 (Part-3). In methods of tests for aggregates for concrete.
Method of test for aggregates for concrete.
Unit weight of concrete

It shall be determined by placing representative samples of concrete in a unit measure

condition. The top of the concrete shall then be made truly flush with the top of the mould and the
weight of concrete per cum determined after curing and drying. The weight of dry concrete shall
not be less than 2.4 tones per cum. A complete record regarding various tests carried out at site
and in the laboratory shall be kept by the Engineer. The contractors shall provide at their own cost
all facilities for labour, material, transport etc. required for the proper execution of the above
tests.
Any concrete which does not comply with the above requirements shall be liable for
rejection by the Engineer.

concrete the contractor shall have at least 6 cube moulds at time site to enable test cubes to be
taken at any time. The cube moulds shall be of standard make by reputed manufactures (like
Lawrence & mayo etc.)
Tampering bar:
The tamping bar shall be steel bar 16mm in diameter 0.6m long and bullet pointed at the
lower end.
Compacting:-
The test specimens shall be made as soon as practicable after mixing, and in such a way as
to produce full compaction of the concrete with neither segregation nor excessive laitance. The
concrete shall be filled in to the mould in layers approx. 5 cm deep. In placing each scoop full of
concrete, the scoop shall be moved around the top edge of the mould as the concert within the
mould. Each layer shall be compacted either by hand or by vibration as described below
After the top layer has been compacted, the surface of the concrete shall be finished level
with the top of the mould using a trowel and covered with a glass or metal plate to prevent
evaporation.
(I) When compacting by hand, the standard tamping bar shall be used and the storks of the bar
shall be distributed in a uniform manner over the cross section of the mould. The number of the
strokes per layer required to produce specified conditions will very according to the type of
concrete. For cubical specimens in no case shall concrete be subjected to less than 35 strokes per

right angles to the axis of the specimens. Caps shall be made thin as practicable and shall not flow
65 | P a g e
or fracture when the specimen is tested. Capping shall be carried out according to one of the
following methods.
(I) Neat cement :
Test cylinders may be capped with a thin layer of stiff, neat Portland cement paste after
the concrete has ceased setting in the moulds, generally for two to four hours or more after
molding. The cap shall be formed by means of glass plate not less than 6.5mm. in thickness or a
machined metal plate not less than 13mm. in thickness and having a maximum surface dimensions
atleast 25mm larger than the diameter of the mould, it shall be worked on the cement paste until
its lower surface rests on the top of the mould. The cement coping shall be mixed to a stiff paste
for about two to four hours before it is to be used in order to avoid the tendency of the cap to
shrink. Adhesion of late paste to the capping may be avoided by coating the plate with a thin coat oil
or grease.
(II) Sulphur :
Just prior to testing, the cylindrical specimens may be capped with a sulphur mixture
consisting or 1 part sulphur 2 to 3 parts of inert filler, such as fiercely. The specimens shall be
securely held in a special jig so that the caps formed have true plane surfaces. Care shall be taken
to ensure that the sulphur compound is not over heated as it will not then develop the required
compressive strength. Sulphur caps shall be allowed to harden for atleast 2 hours before applying
the load.
(III)Hard Plaster :
Just prior to testing, specimens may be capped with hard plaster having a compressive
strength of atleast 420 kg/sq. cm. in one hour. Such plasters are generally available as proprietary
material. The cap shall be formed by means of a glass plate not less than 13mm. in thickness, having
a minimum surface dimensions at least 25mm. larger than the diameter of the mould. The glass plate
shall be lightly coated with oil to avoid sticking.
Note:
Ordinary plaster will not serve the purpose of the capping materials due to its low
compressive strength.
(IV) As soon as possible after the concrete is mixed, a mortar shall be gauged using a cement
similar to that used in the concrete and sand which passes IS Sieve 30 but is retained on IS Sieve
15. The mortar shall have a water cement ratio not higher than that of the concrete of which the
specimen is made, and shall be of stiff consistencies. If an excessively wet mix of concrete is being
tested, any free water which has collected on the surface of the specimen shall be removed with a
sponge, blotting paper or other suitable absorbent material before the cap is formed. The mortar
shall then be applied firmly and compacted with a towed to a slightly convex surface above the
edges of the mould, after which the capping plate shall be pressed sown on the cap with a rotary
motion until it makes complete contact with the rim of the mould. The plate shall be left in position
until the specimen is removed from the mould.
(V) Curing :
(a) The test specimens shall be stored in a place free from vibration, in moist air at a
temperature of 27 +- 20 C for 24 hours +- ½ from the time of addition of water to the dry
ingredients. After this period, the specimens shall be marked and removed from the mould and,
unless required for test within 24 hours, immediately submerged in clean, fresh water or saturated
lime solution in which the specimens are submerged shall be renewed every day and shall be
maintained at a temperature of 27oC +/- 20oC. The specimens shall not be allowed to become dry at
any time until they have been tested.
(b)Making and curing compression test specimen in the field.

The procedure for making and curing compression test specimens of concrete sample during
the progress of construction where the nominal maximum size of the aggregate does not exceed
38mm. Size of test specimen, apparatus to be used and procedure to prepare specimens shall be the
same as specified earlier.
Apparatus :
Testing Machine :
The testing machine may be any reliable type of sufficient capacity for the tests and cable
of applying the load at the rate specified in 5.5. The permissible error shall be not greater than +2
percent of the maximum load. The testing machine shall be equipped with two steel bearing plates
(preferably the one that normally will bear on the upper surface of the specimen) shall be fitted
with a ball seating in the form of portion of a sphere, the center of which coincides with the central
points of the face of the plate. The other compression plate shall be plain rigid bearing block.
The bearing faces of both plates shall be atleast as large as and preferably larger than the
nominal size of the specimen to which the load is applied. The bearing surface of the plates, when
new, shall not depart from a plane by more than 0.01m at any point, and they shall be maintained
with a permissible variation limit of 0.02mm. The movable portion of the spherically seated
compression plate shall be held on the spherical seat, but the design shall be such that the bearing
face can be rotated freely and tilted through shall angles in any direction.
AGE TEST :
Tests shall be made at recognized ages of the test specimens, the most usual being 7 and
28 days. Ages of 13 weeks and one year are recommended if tests at greater ages are required.
Where necessary to obtain the early strengths, tests may be made at the ages 24 hours +/- ½ hour
and 72 hours +/- 2 hours. The ages shall be calculated from the time of addition of water to the dry
ingredients.
Number of specimens :
At least three specimens preferably from different batches shall be made for testing at
each selected age.
Note :
When a full investigation is being carried out it is advisable for three separate batches to
be made for given variable. An equal number of specimens for each variable should be made.
Procedure :
Specimens stored in water shall be tested immediately on removal from the water and while
they are still in the wet condition. Surface water and grit shall be wiped off the specimens and
projecting fins removed. Specimens when received dry shall be kept in water for 24 hours before
they are taken for testing. The dimensions of the specimens to the nearest 0.2mm and their weight
shall be noted before testing.
Placing the specimens in the Testing Machine :
The bearing surface of the testing machine shall be wiped clean and loose sand or other
material removed from the surface of the specimen which are to be in contact with the load shall
be applied to opposite sides of the cubes as cast, that is not to the top & bottom, the axis of the
specimen shall be carefully aligned with the center of thrust of the spherically seated plate. No
packing shall be used between the faces of the test specimen and steel plate of the testing
machine. As the spherically seated block is brought to bear on the specimen, the load shall be
applied without shock and increased continuously at a rate of approximately 140 kg/sq. cm/min. until
the resistance of the specimen to the increasing load breaks down and no greater load can be
sustained. The maximum load applied to the specimen shall then be recorded and appearance of the
concrete and any unusual features in the type of failure shall be noted.
CALCULATION :
67 | P a g e
The measured compressive strength of the specimen shall be calculated by dividing the
maximum load to the specimen during the test by the sections (see also 4.5.1 of IS 1199-
1959)methods of sampling and analysis of concrete and shall be expressed to the nearest Kg./sq.cm.
Average of three values shall be taken as per the representative of the batch provided the
individual variation is not more than the +/- 15% of the average. A correct factor according to the
height / diameter ratio of the specimen after copping shall be obtained from the curve shown in fig.
1. The product of this correction factor and the measured compressive strength shall be known as
corrected compressive strength. This being the equivalent cube strength of the concrete shall be
determined by multiplying the corrected strength by 5 / 4 .

batch during its discharge and each sample increment shall be collected by passing a clean and dry
receptacle across the stream of concrete. This receptacle shall be constructed of non absorbent
material, preferably of metal and shall be such that the sample retained is not segregated. A flat
surface without retaining sides will not fulfill this purpose. Where there sample increments are
taken they shall be taken at about the time when one-quarter on half and there quarters of the
concrete have been discharged from the mixer and if marathon three are taken they shall be at
corresponding shorter, but equally spaced, intervals.
From concrete at the Time and place of Deposition :
The sample shall be taken while a batch of concrete is being or immediately after it has
been, discharged on the site. The sample shall be collected from not less than five well – distributed
positions, avoiding the edges of the mass where segregation may have occurred.
Mixing the composite sample :

than 38mm. the concrete shall be wet-sieved through 1.5 in screen to exclude aggregate particles
bigger than 38mm.
Procedure :
The internal surface of the mould shall be thoroughly cleaned and free from superfluous
moisture and set concrete before commencing the test. The mould shall be placed as a carefully
leveled metal plate, the mould being firmly held in place while it is being filled.
The mould shall be filled in four layers, each approximately one-quarter of the height of
the height of the mould. Each layer shall be temped with twenty-five strokes of the rounded end of
the tempering rod. The strokes shall be distributed in uniform manner over the cross-section of the
Mould and for the second and subsequent layers shall penetrate into the underlying layer. The
bottom layer shall be temped throughout its depth. After the top layer has been rodded, the
concrete shall be shrunk off level out between with a trowel or the temping rod, so that the mould
69 | P a g e
is exactly filled. Any mortar which may be leaked out between the mould and the base plate shall be
cleaned away. The mould shall be removed from the concrete immediately by raising it slowly
And carefully in a vertical direction. This allows the concrete to subside and the slump shall
be measured immediately by determining the difference between the height of the mould that of
the highest point of the specimen being tested. The above operations shall be carried out at a plate
free from vibration or shock and within a period of two minutes after sampling.
Slump :
The slump measured shall be recorded in terms of millimeters of subsidence of the
specimen during the test. Any slump specimen which collapses or shears off laterally gives incorrect
result and if this occurs the test shall be repeated with another sample. If in the repeat test also,
the specimen should shear, the slump be measured and the fact that the specimen sheared, shall be
recorded.
Note :
Some indication of the cohesiveness and workability of the mix can be obtained, if after
the slump measurement has been completed, the side of the concrete is tapped gently with the
tamping rod, a well proportioned concrete which has an appreciable slump will gradually slump
further but if the mix has been badly proportioned, it is likely to fall apart.
Gauge Boxes :
Gauge boxes of approved type shall be used for measuring sand and coarse aggregates in
required proportion whenever concrete is allowed to be prepared by mixing the aggregates on
volumetric basis. Such boxes shall be of seasoned timber or steel and shall be of such size as and
shape and shall be used in such a manner as to enable the proportion of the material to be checked
readily. The cement used in concrete however, shall not be used by measuring it in gauge boxes but
it shall be measured by weight whatever may be the type of concrete.
Storage of materials :
Cement, fine and coarse aggregates shall be stored separately at the site of work in such
manner as to prevent any deterioration or contamination or admixture of foreign materials. Any
material which has been damaged or is considered defective by the Engineer shall not be used on
the works and shall be removed immediately from the site of work.
ITEMWISE SPECIFICATION
DETAILED SPECIFICATION :
Detailed specification given here shall be treated as extension or partial modifications to

the specifications of respective items given in the volume of specification published by Gujarat
Water Supply and Sewerage G. W. S. & S. Board.
C.C.M. 100 BASE CONCRETE FOR LEVELLING COARSE :
For all practical purpose and in absence of proportioning of concrete on base of

preliminarily tests, C.c. 1:3:6 may be provided as a leveling course i.e. one part to cement three
parts of sand and six parts of black trap kapachi. Specification for various ingredients of concrete
such as sand, cement, kapachi, water shall be as these given in specification for C.Cm.15.
While laying base concrete for leveling course the concrete shall not be dumped from
above but shall be carried out to the bottom and gently placed from a height not exceeding 1.5
meter. If concrete is transported by chutes, then the same shall be remixed at bottom of chutes to
overcome any segregation that might have occurred.
C.C. M. 150/ M. 200/ M. 250 :
70 | P a g e
As far as possible the preparation of various ingredients of concrete shall be determined
on the bases of preliminary tests as per ISS using the actual materials to be used on site. However
in absence of such preliminary tests the volumetric proportion of 1;2:4 may be adopted i.e. one part
to cement, two parts of sand and four parts of Kapachi, water just sufficient to attain desired
workability may be added. However the aim while proportioning should be to fix the proportion of
aggregation and water cement ratio shall be always sufficiently low enough to get desired strength.
C.C. M 200 & M:250 :
Specification for C.C. M. 200 & M:250 shall be same as those for C.C.M.150 except that
grade of concrete to be produce shall be M- 200. If arbitrary volumetric proportioning is to be
followed then the proportion of cement, sand and kapachi shall be 1:1/2:3 respectively. Since M –
200 mix is normally used in water retaining parts of container where the aim is not to get dense.
Strong and watertight concrete, special care shall be exercised in controlling proportion of
aggregate, water cement ratio, compaction and curing
Manufacture and placement of concert

(1) Batching
Whether controlled concrete or ordinary concrete is to be mixed the quantity of cement
shall be determined by weight if the makers weight per bag is to be used the same shall be
certified by weighing separately a reasonable number of bags.
Whenever direct use of bagged cement is allowed, one jute bag of cement shall be
considered to contain 50kg. of net weight of cement. This shall, however be verified at site by
weighting. For which the contractors shall provide an accurate weighing apparatus on work site.
Having once designed the mix, the Engineer may permit further mixing of the aggregate to
be used done on volumetric basis for a particular batch stock of aggregates which has been used in
the design of the mix.
The water shall be either measured by the volume in calibrated tanks or weighed, in
controlled concrete, the quantity of fine and coarse aggregates shall be determined by weight.
While in ordinary concrete, they may be determined by volume. For volumetric measurements gauge
boxes used for approved type as described earlier shall be used for measuring the fine and coarse
aggregates in required proportion.
(ii) Mixing of concrete :
The concrete shall be mixed in a mechanical and/or weight mixer of adequate capacity. The
ingredients shall be added to each batch of mix by weight, volume or both as the case may be so as
to ensure accurate proportioning, water for each batch of concrete shall be measured in a standard
container so as to ensure the same amount of water being used each time and shall be added prior
to during and following mixer charging operation. The mixing of each batch shall be done for a
period of not less than two minutes or shall continue until there is a uniform distribution of
material, having the mass uniform in colour and consistency. Every care shall be taken to ensure
that there is no segregation while unloading the mixer.
Mixing shall be done as near the place of placement as possible and adequate shed shall be
constructed over the mixer to protect the discharged concrete from the effect of direct sun rays
small additional amount of water, if necessary, shall be allowed to be added to the mixer to
compensate for any anticipated evaporation losses during transport. The quantity of water to be
added shall be sufficient to allow a workable mix being made tamped and vibrated into all parts of
the mould and between the reinforcement.
Permission for starting the concrete work :
71 | P a g e
The contractors shall get the surface whether concrete of rock or form work etc.
previously approved by the Engineer, who shall, then issue the permission for starting the work. Any
concrete work done without such permission shall be cut and removed at the cost of contractors.
No concreting shall be started unless the surface of the foundation is inspected and
approved by the Engineer as stated above. If concreting is to be done on concrete shall cleaned
with wire brushed and all laitance removed to expose the original surface of metal and sand
particles etc. It shall, then be covered with a 7mm. thick layer of cement mortar (1:2) before laying
fresh concrete.
Transporting and depositing concrete :
Concrete shall be placed within 30 minutes after mixing and shall be transported from the
mixer to its final placement as rapidly as practicable, taking care to see that no segregation of loss
of ingredients takes place. In case segregation occurs the concrete shall be remised. Dropping of
concrete from an excessive height or running or working it along forms will not be permitted. Any
concrete which before placement has begun to set has become stiff shall be rejected.
Concrete shall be properly compacted by use of vibrators or by rotting and spading as
directed by the Engineer. Tamping as above shall be continued until all the entrained air is removed
and the concrete has become compacted and completely fills the form. The sides of the formwork
shall be gently tapped by spades during concreting.
All controlled concrete shall be invariably compacted by mechanical vibrators irrespective
of the positions. It shall be compacted by needle vibrator or screed vibrator as the case may be and
the work of vibrating the concrete by mechanical means shall be paid for under the relevant item.
Compacting by rotting or spading however shall not be paid for separately and the rates for
concrete shall be demeaned to cover the cost thereof.
Internal type vibrators when used shall be inserted into the uncomplicated concrete
vertically and at regular intervals. Where the uncomplicated concrete is in a layer above freshly
compacted concrete. The vibrator shall be allowed to penetrate vertically for a few cms. in to the
previous layer. In no circumstances shall the reinforcement or form work nor shall they be
withdrawn quickly from the mass of concrete but shall be drawn back slowly so as to leave no voids.
Internal type vibrators shall not be placed in the concrete in a random or haphazard manner not
shall concrete from one part of the work to another by means of the vibrator. The duration of
vibration shall be limited to that required to produce satisfactory compaction without causing
segregation. Vibration shall on no account be continued after water or excess grout has appeared on
the surface face.
Curing of concrete :
All concrete work shall be protected from direct rays of the sun. The exposed surface
shall be kept wet for a minimum period of 10 days or such longer periods as may be directed by the
Engineer. All concrete laid shall not be distributed and shall be suitably protected from any injury,
until completely set : particular care shall be taken at all corners and edges of the members. All
horizontal concrete surfaces shall be kept constantly wet pounding or otherwise in the manner
approved by the Engineer, till the time of next pouring regardless of time. Concrete surfaces shall
be cured either by sprinkling or by spraying water or by adopting any other method to keep the
areas moist. Flat or vertical surfaces may be covered with damp gunny bags and watered frequently.
Water used for curing shall be clean and free from any excessive amount of silt, coloring matter of
other impurities which may stain the finished work. In order to ensure adequate quantities of water
for curing, the contractors shall make necessary arrangements such as providing sufficient lengths
of temporary pipelines of suitable sizes, storage of water in tanks and / or use of blisters at their
cost.
Defective concrete :
72 | P a g e
The defective concrete shall be cut out and the work reconstructed with fresh concrete of
required quality in the presence of the Engineer. The concrete thus cut out shall not be re-used
under any circumstances, should any concrete become permanently damaged due to cracking or is
broken or damaged from whatever cause, or should any concrete be found defective in quality due
to honey – combing or bad workmanship, it shall be removed forthwith and replaced by concrete of
required quality at the cost of the contractors to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The authority reserves the right to carry out any further test like electronic ultrasonic
tests and such other non-destructive test to verify. The quality of concrete done by the contractor
should it become to notice at that time that some work is required to be redone, the same shall be
attended to by the contractor at his own cost, irrespective of the fact that the same has been
passed and paid for.
