CURING OF CONCRETE APPROVED BY:
QEHS MANAGER
ACTION VERIFY
1. SCOPE
The scope of this procedure covers methods of curing to achieve

specified strength and durability parameters of concrete.
2. PROCEDURE
.1 The procedure to be adopted for curing concrete on site will vary

depending on the type, exposure, location and design mix. The Project Specs/
specification must be consulted first. Engineer approval
It is advised to check the specification and obtain the approval of the

Consultant prior to the adoption of any of the following methods:-
.2 Method One:
Keeping the surface of concrete moist by:
i) Ponding:
This method is normally applied on horizontal surfaces, such

as floor slabs. Water for curing shall be of potable quality and Gen. Curing
free from undesirable levels of dissolved salts. Foreman record
ii) Spraying/Sprinkling Water:
Curing of horizontal and vertical surfaces can be done by

sprinkling water. This method can also be used for curing
inaccessible areas. Care shall be taken that temperature of
water to be used for curing shall be similar to the concrete Gen. Curing
itself. Foreman record
iii) Damp Sand or Hessian:
Materials such as wet hessian or wet sand are used but they
must be kept continually wet and not allowed to dry out.
Constant vigilance is necessary to guard against the
protective material drying out and becoming unless. Careful
supervision is required to see that the hessian is kept properly
Damp throughout the period of curing. It may also cause Gen. Curing
staining. For these reasons it is a practice best avoided. Foreman record

.3 Method Two:
Prevention loss of moisture from the concrete by:
i) Covering concrete surface with polythene sheeting,

ii) Spraying on a curing membrane, Gen. Curing
iii) Leaving the formwork in place Foreman record
i) Polythene Sheeting:
A simple way of keeping moisture in the concrete is to cover

it with polythene sheeting. The polythene sheet shall be
placed in position as soon as possible. Wait until water sheen
has evaporated but not so long that the concrete starts to dry
out. It must be in direct contact with the concrete. It is
important that the exposed edges and corners of the sheet
shall be well fixed down. Otherwise wind and draughts would
get underneath and create a wind-tunnel effect that would dry Gen. Curing
the surface of the concrete. Foreman record
ii) Spraying on a Curing Membrane:
Curing compounds are sprayed on the surface with a hand-

held hose spray. This can be used on either horizontal or
vertical surfaces. Special precautions shall be taken while
using spray-on compounds (manufacturers instructions
regarding use shall also be followed):
a. Surfaces that will not be exposed to bright daylight

shall not be treated with a curing compound if they
are to receive any additional finish viz. screeds,
rendering, paint type finishes or a further layer of
concrete.
b. The compounds shall never be applied to dry surfaces

since these will absorb the compound and staining or
discoloration may result. If the surface has dried out,
wet it down with clean water then spray while it is
still moist.

c. Curing compounds do not work if sprayed on top of

water.
d. Use safety precautions while handling these Gen. Curing

compounds. Follow manufacturers instructions. Foreman record
iii) Leaving the Formwork in Place:
When it is in position, formwork protects concrete against

loss of moisture and thus allows curing to proceed.
It is only after it has been struck that further curing of

columns, walls and beams may be necessary. Even where the
formwork is left in place, exposed top surfaces must be cured Gen. Curing
in the normal way. Foreman record
3. EXPOSED CONCRETE
All concrete surfaces that will be permanently exposed to the

weather needs to be cured with extra care and at least for seven days.
Well cured concrete will be more impermeable and better able to
withstand wetting and drying and will have a better long-term Gen.
appearance, since dirt will not collect so easily. Foreman
4. PAVING AND FLOOR SLABS
.1 Always start the curing soon after water sheen has disappeared. For
small paved areas, a curing membrane applied by a hand operated
hose spray is most convenient. Always use compounds, which reflect
the suns rays. Care must be taken that a uniform coat of the
membrane is applied, particularly in windy water when stream of Gen.
compound could easily be blown òff course. Foreman

CONSTRUCTION JOINTS IN IN-SITU CONCRETE APPROVED BY:
QEHS MANAGER
ACTION VERIFY
1. SCOPE
The scope of this procedure outlines methods to be used for

constructing effective and durable construction joints in accordance
with the contract specifications.
2. PROCEDURE
.1 In some cases Al Rajhi shall have to prepare shop drawings Project

proposing location and type of construction joints and obtain Manager Drawing
approval from the Consultants representative before proceeding with Approval
the work.
.2 Horizontal Surfaces:
Laitance on the surface must be removed from the concrete in order Project
to ensure that a good bond will be achieved when fresh concrete will Engr/Gen.
be placed against it. Following methods may be used for removing Foreman
laitance from the top of walls and columns unless specified otherwise
in the contract:
i) Washing and Brushing:
The easiest way is to brush off the laitance while the concrete
is still fresh but has stiffened slightly. Brushing shall be
commenced between one to two hours after placing of
concrete. Site operatives shall have brushes with soft and
hard bristles so that it can be used depending upon stiffness of
concrete. Care shall be taken that the brushing shall not be
harsh which will dislodge the coarse aggregates. In case
laitance has hardened but is still green, a wire brush should be
used.
ii) Air and Water Jet:
Laitance can be removed by directing a jet of air and water

onto it. This method can be used up to six hours after placing
or possible longer but the site operative must make his own
judgement while adopting this method. This operation must
not start too soon because it might dislodge coarse aggregate
particles.

iii) Mechanical Scabbling:
If laitance is too hard to be removed by wire brushing,

mechanical scabbling can be tried using small percussion
power tools. This method can be applied after 3 days when
concrete has hardened sufficiently. Care shall be taken not to
weaken the coarse aggregates.
iv) Abrasive Blasting:
Wet or dry abrasive blasting can be used to expose the

aggregate but special safety precautions shall be taken while
using sand.
.3 The most appropriate time for treating the joints is a matter of Project
judgement, because it depends on the rate of setting and hardening Engr/Gen.
(which is itself dependent on the temperature of the concrete). Foreman
.4 Where there is likely to be even a short delay before placing the next
concrete pour, protruding reinforcement should be protected. Before Site
the next pour is placed, rust, loose mortar or other contamination Engr/Gen. Contract
should be removed from the bars. Foreman Specs.
.5 Vertical Surfaces:
i) Stop Ends/Expanded Metal Mesh:
Vertical joints in walls, beams and slabs are usually formed at

a stop end in the formwork. Stop ends shall be located where
the reinforcement is least dense. Holes for reinforcement in
stop-ends are a potential weakness because grout loss can
occur. In lightly reinforced sections and where starter bars are
acceptable, this problem is frequently avoided by bending
bars so that they run along the inner face of the stop-end.
When the stop-end is removed, the bars are cut out and
straightened. However, the cutting out and straightening can
damage the concrete and cause local loss of bond with the
bar, especially if this is carried out within 48 hours of placing
the concrete.

WORK PROCEDURE
PAGE 3 OF 5
SUBJECT: BY:
QA/QC ENGINEER
QEHS MANAGER
ACTION VERIFY
Proprietary stop-ends have been developed which overcome

this problem by encasing the bent bars in expanded plastic
foam. The foam can easily be removed and the bars
strengthened by means of a steel tube. Take particular care
not to use impact to straighten bent steel at stop-ends as this
can cause brittle fracture.
Permanent forms of expanded metal are increasingly

employed, particularly in deep slabs. The concrete surface
produced by such system is very irregular and does not
normally require any surface preparation. Where a very high
workability mix is being used (slump greater than 200mm)
with expanded metal formwork, care should be taken to avoid
over - vibration at the joint as this may cause grout loss.
ii) Formwork:
Formwork for subsequent concrete pours must be accurately

aligned and well fixed so that there is no grout leak which
results into discoloration and honey combing. Strips of foam
rubber or polyurethane unless specified otherwise can be
fixed around the edge of the hardened prepared joint.
.6 The methods explained previously i.e. washing and brushing,

mechanical scabbling and abrasive blasting can also be used in case Site
of vertical joints. However special care shall be taken not to damage Engr/Gen. Contract
the leading edges (leave a margin). Foreman Specs.
.7 Watertight Construction:
i) In watertight construction unless specified otherwise, flexible

waterbars of specified details can be used. Care shall be taken Site
while concreting so that all waterbars are securely tied to Engr/Gen. Contract
avoid its folding during concreting. Foreman Specs.

.8 Cold Joints:
i) Cold joints normally occur during the concreting operation

when a delay in placing adjacent concrete has occurred and
earlier concrete placed has stiffened.
ii) A simple test can be used to determine whether concreting

can proceed. Embed the poker vibrator into the existing
concrete to examine the condition of concrete. Where the
action of the poker has left a distinct hole, concreting Site
operations should not continue. In this case the joint face can Engr/Gen.
be prepared by one of the methods described above for Foreman/ Contract
horizontal construction joints. QA/QC Specs.
.9 Placing the Fresh Concrete:
i) Particular care as explained below shall be taken while

placing and compacting new concrete on or against the old:
ii) Any dirt or dust from the surface of the hardened concrete
shall be removed preferably with a compressed air hose. As a
safety precaution site operatives must wear safety goggles.
This cleaning shall be done before new formwork is fixed
because not only access be easier than but also dirt might
otherwise stick to the new formwork.
iii) While fixing a new formwork extra dirt is created which can Site
be cleaned after removing a stop end - which will make it Engr/Gen. Contract
easy to be swept or blown away. Foreman Specs.
.10 Joint Sealing:
i) Where the structural component containing the joint is to be

exposed to the external environment, the joint has to be
sealed to prevent ingress of water. For type and method of Site
application refer to the contract specifications and/or Engr/Gen. Contract

i) The surface levels are within the specified tolerances.

ii) The longitudinal falls and crossfalls are such that no
depressions hold water. Project
iii) The extent of the site prepared for block laying shall include Engineer/ Pre-install-
enough room to provide adequate foundations and backing Surveyor ation
for any edge restraint. Survey
.3 Form edge restraints as indicated on the contract drawings before

compacting adjacent blocks. Do not vibrate the surface course until Gen.
the edge restraint, together with any concrete haunching has gained Foreman
sufficient strength. FINI/09/A
.4 Joint Filling:

3. PROCEDURE FOR REPAIRS AND REINSTATEMENT OF

PRECAST PAVING BLOCKS
Gen.
.1 Removal of Blocks: Foreman FINI/09/A
Remove the sand from the joints around the first block and lever it
out. Remove and stack further blocks until the working area is
exposed.
.2 If the area has been heavily trafficked it may be necessary to break

the first blocks to get them out.
.3 Excavate as necessary to carry out specified work and store

excavated materials suitable for re-use. Using suitable excavated or
new materials, backfill the excavation and compact sufficiently to
avoid subsequent settlement.
.4 Use naturally occurring sand or crushed rock fines graded as

specified. Any material that is stockpiled should be properly covered
to ensure uniformity of moisture content.
The moisture content of the laying course should be as uniform as

possible and the material should be moist without being saturated.
Construct the laying course as specified in the contract. In no case

should the material be less than 25mm thick at any point unless
specified otherwise in the contract. Compact the screed material as
specified in the contract.
If any disturbance of the prepared laying course sand by pedestrian
or wheeled traffic occurs, prior to placing paving blocks, re-screed Gen.
areas of laying course material. Foreman FINI/09/A

.5 Surface Course:
i) Paving blocks are to be laid so that surface levels are within

the specified tolerance. Minor adjustments can be made to
maintain the bond pattern and ensure that the joints remain Gen
wide enough for sand filling. Foreman FINI/09/A
ii) Trim paving blocks to shape and size to form boundaries. Do
not insert pieces of a size less than one-third of a full block.
iii) Fully compact the surface block using a plate compactor with
a plate area transmitting an effective for of not less than 75
KN/M2 of plate at a frequency of vibration in the range 75
Hz to 100Hz, unless specified otherwise.
.6 Carry out compaction as soon as possible after laying but not within
1m of any laying face. Apart from this edge strip, do not leave any
area of paving uncomplicated at the completion of the days work.
.7 Remove a few further blocks from around the area to ease

replacement, taking care to include any blocks that have moved
during previous operations.
Place laying course material over the backfilled excavation and

screed to the level of the material exposed and ensure compaction (as Gen.
done in case of new work). Foreman FINI/09/A
.8 Where a pavement which has had considerable trafficking is to be

reinstated, the sub-surface will have become fully compacted. There
may still be further compaction of the excavated area but a final
surface slightly higher (typically 2mm to 3mm) than the surrounding
area will help to ensure that final levels after trafficking area are
correct.
.9 Before the original blocks are re-laid, clean off all loose and
extraneous material. Re-lay the blocks and bond them into the
existing pavement as specified.
