filling. The material shall be deposited onto the areas to receive filling, leveled, moisture
conditioned and compacted. If necessary, stockpiling may be required.

The excavated areas shall be divided into manageable sections, which be defined upon
sketches. The excavated areas shall be monitored by the GE to ensure that any unsuitable
material does not appear. Where unsuitable material appears, it shall be removed. The
excavated formation surface shall be treated by scarification, moistened and compacted
according to the specification criteria. All areas shall be tested and the results recorded.

Where areas are to receive fill, the material that has been excavated shall be transported to
the fill area, tipped, leveled, moisture conditioned and compacted. The material shall be spread
and leveled in 200mm layers. The areas to be filled shall be divided into manageable sections
that be defined upon a sketch. The fill layer shall be moistened and compacted to achieve the
required specification criteria. No further fill activity shall be conducted upon an area that has
not been approved and released by the GE. Attention shall be observed at edges and slopes,
to ensure that compaction criteria are achieved. Additional layers of fill material shall be placed
similarly as described above until the desired elevation has been achieved.

Add water to the fill layer by passing the water tanker over the fill layer. The water tanker
should pass over the layer twice.
A time gap of approximately two hours is allowed for the water to soak into the fill material.
The layer is now mixed with the grader until a uniform blend of moist material is achieved.
Additional water is added by passing the water tanker over the layer in a uniform sequence. A
time period of approximately one-hour is allowed for this water to soak into the fill layer.
The fill layer is mixed again with the grader leaving the fill level to the correct grade.
Vibrating rollers shall now compact the fill layer in a logical sequence that compacts the fill
layer uniformly.
Testing of the layer shall be conducted according to specification requirements.

and exposing any voids. The repair area shall then be soaked, an approved bonding agent
applied followed by working on with an approved mortar such as Master Flow 544 before the
area dries out.. The materials shall be mixed using the bonding agent and not water. The
mixed material shall be trowelled firmly into the repair area. Incase, the depth of the repair
exceed 15mm, the repair shall be conducted in two layers providing a scratch coat on the first
layer. The repair shall then be cured in accordance with the agreed procedure using water or
curing compound as appropriate.
F.
Major voids (Typically Deeper than 5cm)
This repair shall consist of chipping the affected area to remove any laitance and voids. Where
reinforcement is exposed in a void, the surrounding concrete shall be chipped away to provide
adequate space to place fresh concrete around the reinforcement including removal of all soft
concrete. (Note- a distance of one and a half times the stone size must be allowed around all
exposed reinforcement). Formwork shall be provided to retain the fresh concrete. The chipped
area shall be soaked in and primed with a bonding agent. The bonding agent shall not be
allowed to dry. Fresh concrete of the same grade as the surrounding concrete shall be used to
fill in the void. The repair shall be water cured along with the parent concrete. The surface
finishes to the repair shall be as the same standard as the surrounding concrete.
G.
Plastic settlement cracks
Cracking caused by settlement of concrete usually in deep lifts or at changes in section can
result in a series of cracks which mirror the reinforcement pattern in horizontal surfaces or
appear to arch on vertical surfaces. Any such cracks should be chased out to a depth of 10-
15mm and filled with an epoxy mortar such as Nitomortar FC as in A above.
H.
Pourous / spongy surface
Where inadequate vibration and poor finishing techniques have caused excessive bleeding,
horizontal surfaces can appear spongy and pourous. In this case all affected surfaces should
be ground back to good concrete usually only 2-3mm below the surface. The surface should
then be reinstated using Nitomortar as in A above. This type of defect often occurs with plastic
settlement cracks which should be treated as In G above.

The code provides that notwithstanding the satisfactory completion of the test, any
evidence of seepage of the liquid to the outside faces of the liquid retaining walls should
be assessed against the requirement of the specification. Any necessary remedial
treatment of the concrete, cracks or joints should, where practicable, be carried out from
the liquid face. When a remedial lining is applied to inhibit leakage at a crack, it should
have adequate flexibility and have no reaction with the stored liquid.
Should the structure not satisfy the 7 days test then after the completion of the remedial
work, it should be refilled and if necessary, left for a further stabilising period followed by a
further test of 7 days’ duration should then be undertaken in accordance with this clause.

Preparation of backgrounds to be plastered or rendered


All surfaces to be plastered and rendered shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dust and loose
particles.
Concrete surfaces shall be scabbled by mechanical means to remove all laitance exposing the
aggregates to 3 mm depth
Civil Contractor / EPC Contractor inspections shall be conducted for the approval of the
prepared surfaces.
A slurry coat consisting of 400 kg Cement (white) to 1 cum of sand (No. 1 White Silica) as
specified shall be applied on the surface by trowel and 1-day allowance given for the
succeeding coat to commence with.
Block work surfaces shall have the joints raked out as specified (Ref) during construction.
Junctions of different background and the chases for the electrical conduits as well as other
service pipes shall be treated by fixing 200mm wide metal lath. Plastering shall not commence
until all the mechanical and electrical services, conduits, pipes and Ist stage fixtures have been
installed and approved.
Where a rendering or plaster is to be continuous across backgrounds of different types, a strip
of metal lath minimum 300 mm wide with an isolating membrane of polythene sheet or building
paper behind, shall be fixed across the junction. Where small widths of one material less than
300 mm wide are involved e.g. a concrete column, beam or slab dividing block panels, the
width shall be bridged completely for a distance of 150 mm on both sides.
The metal lath shall be stretched out and fixed along each edge at 100 mm centres using
stainless steel fasteners such as washers and shot fired pins, nails or screws and lapped joints
tied with galvanized wire, the screws fixed into plugs in predrilled holes if so required.
Metal lath shall not be provided where drawing shows a groove in the rendering or the plaster.
Fixing beads and stops
Beads, stops and the like shall be fixed plumb, square and true to line with clout nails or
plaster dabs at not more than 600 mm centres to each mesh wing.
Corner / angle beads at all openings as well as plaster ground stops at terminals shall be
installed by using stainless steel fasteners. Profile dots shall be formed on the surfaces.
Civil Contractor / EPC Contractor inspection shall be conducted for the proposed profile
approval.

with cement. If allowed to stand for a longer period, the ingredients mix must be protected
from drying out. The whole of the batch shall be used within an hour of being mixed
Application of the various plaster or render coats
The work shall not start until the background has been prepared and all the services have
been finished according to requirement and the relevant specifications as described earlier.
Slurry coat shall be trowel applied allowing at least one day to start the succeeding coat
Two render coat applications shall be carried out.
Before applying any coat, the background or the preceding coat shall be brushed down to
remove any loose particles and dampened sufficiently to ensure uniform absorption.
First coat shall be trowel applied and scored to form a key for the second coat allowing at least
one day before the start of the next coat. The undercoat shall be applied either by laying on
with or throwing from a trowel or float, as uniformly thick as possible and not less than 8 mm or
more than 13 mm thick in any part.
The undercoat shall be left rough and open by the edge of the trowel after it has been long
enough to set firm, be combed with evenly spaced wavy horizontal lines approximately 20 mm
apart and 5 mm deep (less in case of first coat on metal lathing). The surface shall not be
scratched, however, when it is to receive a Tyrolean finish.
First undercoat applied to metal lathing shall be well worked into the lath to ensure that the
material is completely embedded.
The finishing coat shall be steel trowel applied
The finishing coat shall not be less than 5 mm or more than 10 mm thick and shall be laid on
with a trowel and finished with a steel float, taking care not to over work the surface.
All coats shall be applied with firm pressure to exclude air and to ensure a good bond.
Plaster shall be rodded and straightened to uniform surfaces in true planes. Laps of one coat
shall not occur over laps of preceding coat. Each coat shall finish free from cracks, checks or
other structural defects. Finish surfaces shall be flush with grounds / stop beads, corner
beads, outlet boxes and similar details, free from trowel marks, other blemishes displaying
straight arises and true angles.
All coats shall be prevented from drying out too quickly and the work be carried out in shade
during hot period. All renderings shall be protected by properly constructed hessian or similar
screen during hot period
Each coat shall be kept damp by means of a fog spray of water for a minimum of 3 days to
allow before a subsequent coat is applied or in the case of a finish coat, before the protective
screens are removed
The surface of the finish coat shall be smooth, true and free from waviness, irregularities or
blemishes with straight, level or plumb angles. External angles shall be pencil rounded
Care shall be taken when rendering up to beads or stops to avoid excessive polishing at the
arris and damage to the galvanizing.
Inspections for the approval shall be conducted.

well as UV resistant, shall be used for the reason that:
It is not recommended to mix a self adhesive membrane with a torch applied membrane as both are not
compatible
From the experience in this climate it has been observed that the textured Aluminium faced membrane
tends to delaminate after a few months if left exposed (due to the different co –efficient of expansion
between the metal and the bitumen)
For the aforesaid reasons the manufacturer recommend a mineral granules faced membrane as these
special solar reflective granules are spread over the bitumen while still hot and form part of the roof
membrane.This flashing membrane complements the main roof membrane and with this combination
on vertical exposed areas the performance is guaranteed for the specified period.

Materials
Coating, Masterseal 550
Master seal 550 is a two component acrylic modified cementitious coating that requires only
site mixing to form an ideal product to waterproof and resurface concrete, masonry and most
other construction materials. Simply applied by stiff brush, roller or trowel it forms a waterproof,
flexible coating providing an effective barrier to waterborne salts and atmospheric gases.
Method
The method involves the following sequences in general.
Surface preparation
Mixing
Application
Details
All grease, oil, dust, residual curing compound, mould release agent or other contaminants,
which could impair adhesion, shall be removed from the surface by degreasing and washing.
The whole surface to be coated shall be cleaned using water jetting and visually inspected to
ensure that the roughness does not exceed grade 80 sandpaper.
All the holes, voids, depressions, spalls etc., shall be filled with Masterseal 550 mixed to a
trowel consistency ,scraped lightly into the surface, allowed to dry and later roughened by
hand wire brush on the small areas and gently water jetted on the larger areas.
The filled areas shall be visually inspected to ensure that the correct mechanical key is
achieved.
Mixing
Master seal is supplied in the pre measured units and shall be mixed on site using clean
containers. The powder shall be slowly added to the liquid component and agitated / mixed
for 2 minutes by using a slow speed hand power drill fitted with a suitable paddle attachment,
until a homogeneous lump free consistency is obtained.
The mix quantity shall be such that it could be consumed in one hour during application without
allowing any retempering with water.
Application
Coverage 1.8 Kg / sqm at 1 mm thickness
The coating shall be 1 mm thick applied in one coat
In hot weather the surface to be coated shall be shaded from direct sunlight.
The areas to be coated shall be saturated with fresh and clean water.
The prepared and the saturated surface shall be inspected by Civil Contractor QC followed by
EPC Contractor approval
The mixed material shall be applied while the surface is visibly damp without standing water
using short stiff brush or roller. (Roller shall be used in major / large areas)

METHOD
Ref Attached Drawing and Sketches
The North South excavation has already been carried out to the intersection of the proposed
line and the Corniche Road as indicated by point at ‘S’
On the proposed route of the lines i.e on the North of the road exist various services at a
distance 4 m to 8 m at a depth of 2 to 3 m from the existing road level running along
eitherside of the intersection i.e East and West as shown on the attached sketch as
locations marked A to H for the exposed inspection pits
The existing uneven ground level on the proposed area is 1.8 m average lower than the road
level and the water is available at 2 m from the road level but fluctuates rapidly depending on
the tides.
The GRE pipe 2200 mm dia pair shall be laid at a bedding of not less than 4000 mm to 4500
mm from the road surface .Since the drawing shows the natural ground level 3.4 m , a 2.4
m depth is required to be excavated , while water level is shown at 2.15m level, water has to
be bailed out upto 0-0 level requiring a 2m massive dewatering along the entire route
commencing from the intersection at point ‘S‘ to the terminal point at ‘T’.
The existing services shall be protected by the necessary measures according to the
statutory regulations and the specifications prior to the excavation commencement for which
an inquiry be conducted with the relevant Statutory Organizations / Client
Since this massive earth work is to be carried out in full to cover a length of 1200 m or

When applying solvent type coating, care shall be taken to prevent lifting of previous coats.
FILM THICKNESS
Specified film thickness for coating materials shall be strictly observed which be checked with
an appropriate film thickness gauge. Calibration for the thickness range to be checked at least
twice a day
When dry film thickness are less than those specified, additional coats shall be applied as
required. Particular attention shall be paid to full film thickness on edges
In hot weather such additional precautions as are necessary shall be taken to ensure that the
specified dry film thickness on priming or finish coats is obtained
COATING QUALITY
Coatings shall be free from pinholes, voids, bubbles, dust, foreign inclusions and other
holidays and any such defect shall be repaired. Prior to the application of a coating, any
damage to the previous coating shall be repaired with the specified material. Upon completion

on the concrete scale of the instrument when the probe tips are held against such painted
surfaces just prior to recoating
The priming shall be applied by suitable Nylon bristle brush or spray over the whole area to be
coated at such thickness that it may then be squeezed into the pores of the concrete. Any
excess shall be removed by the most suitable means before application of the high build epoxy
The total DFT of the paint layer shall have a minimum specified value
Whenever the paint inspection gauge has been used and wherever the coating has been
otherwise damaged for 50 mm around such damage, the surfaces shall be abraded followed
by the area touched in with not less than 2 # thick applications to restore the coating integrity
to the specified thickness.
Adhesion tests shall be carried out on the cured coating surface using the test equipment

There shall be strict control of surface cleanliness between primer and epoxy coating / and
between coats of the same application. Vacuum removal of dust and sand shall be employed
and contamination removed. Where dirt or dust has been trapped in the painted surface, it
shall be removed with suitable abrasive paper. The surface being painted shall be free of
visible moisture throughout these operations
The paint shall be applied only to the clean & dry primed or previously coated surfaces. Any
thick runs or collections of paint shall be removed before these harden
Each coat shall be distinctly different in colour from the primer or previous coat. The colour of
the final coat shall be as approved. Each coat shall be seen to have completely covered the
proceeding without ‘ misses’ or pinholes or any areas ‘visibly low’ in thickness. A high voltage
pinhole detector shall also be used to determine the integrity of the coats
“The manufacturer of the coating shall stipulate primer and epoxy recoat interval for all curing
temperatures likely to be encountered and these be adopted with a maximum tolerance of +4
hours”. Where this is exceeded, the surfaces to be recoated shall first be suitably abraded to
remove gloss and provide a key
Wet thickness gauges shall be used by the coating operators continually to check that
sufficient paint is being applied to achieve the desired dry film thickness

on the concrete scale of the instrument when the probe tips are held against such painted
surfaces just prior to recoating
The priming shall be applied by suitable Nylon bristle brush or spray over the whole area to be
coated at such thickness that it may then be squeezed into the pores of the concrete. Any
excess shall be removed by the most suitable means before application of the high build epoxy
The total DFT of the paint layer shall have a minimum specified value
Whenever the paint inspection gauge has been used and wherever the coating has been
otherwise damaged, the surfaces shall be abraded 50 mm around and the area touched in with
not less than 2 # thick applications to restore the coating integrity to the specified thickness.
Adhesion tests shall be carried out on the cured coating surface using the test equipment
supplied in accordance with the best practice. The resulting test specimens shall show no
indication of poor adhesion to the substrate, residual laitance or intercoat adhesion weakness.
The following instrument shall be used

Card / Toolbox Talk relevant to the operation concerned on the project site safety
requirements. Necessary measures shall be applied to any process involving a safety risk
Safety Supervision
A competent inspector shall visit the area daily to assess the safety measures adopted. Any
snag observed during his visit shall be notified to the supervisor present who immediately act
to bring the safety measures to an acceptable standard
Responsibilities
All inspection and repair work related to the concrete floor screeds shall be under the sole
direction of a dedicated Site Engineer (SE) who shall have full authority and responsibility for
ensuring that the works are carried out in accordance with this Method Statement.
Procedure
1. Repair activities shall be restricted to a limited number of rooms at any time, and access to
the rooms restricted during repair. Before commencing any repair activity, including
preparation, the SE shall ensure that previously completed works are suitably protected
from damage and dust, using a combination of polythene sheeting and ply boarding as
appropriate.
2. Before commencing any repairs in a room, the SE shall agree the scope of the repairs to
be undertaken with the Site Quality Manager, with the agreed repair marked on the floor.
The scope shall be recorded on a sketch and identify which type of repair is to be used and
the approximate area of the repair. The repairs shall be selected from the following:
Repair Type A – Removal and Reinstatement with Cement Screed.
This repair should be adopted where the existing screed has completely disbonded and
broken up, leaving loose isolated sections of screed.
Repair Type B – Repair with Epoxy Mortar
This repair should be adopted where there are significant isolated cracks in the screed. It is
not intended to repair minor hairline cracks by this method, or construction joints between
adjacent panels of screed, unless they have become otherwise damaged.
Repair Type C – Repair with Resin Injection
This repair should be adopted where the screed appears to be disbonded and cracked or
lifting but is otherwise intact. This may be carried out in conjunction with repair Type B
above. It is not necessary to use resin injection on hollow sounding areas where there is
no other sign of failure.
Repair Type D – Surface Epoxy Coating
This repair shall be applied as a final protective coating to all repaired areas. As well as
sealing any un-repaired hairline cracks, this shall also ensure an overall uniform
appearance of the repaired areas.
3. The repairs shall be carried out as follows:
Repair Type A: Removal and reinstatement with Cement Screed
A1. The affected area shall be sawcut to the full depth of the top layer of screed
(typically 35mm) and the affected section removed carefully so as to cause minimum
disruption to adjacent areas.
A2. The removed area shall be fully cleaned of all dust and debris, and any loose
material removed.

A3. The cleared area shall be thoroughly soaked (not just dampened) for at least one
hour before reinstatement.
A4. Immediately before placing the replacement screed, remove any surplus water
(the substrate should still be wet) and apply one coat of NITOBOND PVA bonding
agent to all surfaces – horizontal and vertical.
A5. Place and compact the replacement screed material. Trowel and immediately
cover with polythene sheeting placed flat against the surface.
A6. Remove the polythene sheet after 4 hours and replace with wet hessian, covered
with polythene sheeting. Ensure that further water is added to the hessian at least twice
daily for a minimum of three days.
A7. Ensure that no-one walks on the repair for minimum three days. If unavoidable,
lay ply sheet over repair, ensuring it remains in place.
Repair Type B – Repair with Epoxy Mortar
B1. Using a hammer and chisel, carefully chase a ‘V’ notch along the length of any crack
and along the edge of any loosened area. This should typically be 5mm from the edge
of the crack and 5mm deep.
B2. Physically remove all loose material and clean using a using a wire brush or similar.
Remove all dust and debris, using a brush and / or vacuum cleaner.
B3. Mix the repair material – NITOMORTAR FC-B (or FC) – in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations and firmly press the repair mortar into place using a
steel trowel. Finish the material flush with the surrounding concrete. It may be
necessary to apply a second levelling coat if the material settles.
B4. Ensure that the repair area is not walked on for 24 hours.
Repair Type C – Repair with Resin Injection
C1 Drill three 10mm holes in the area to be repaired, to a depth of approximately 35mm,
representing the interface between the two screed layers. This can be determined by
the change in sound of the drill.
C2. Fix an injection nipple to the drilled holes using an epoxy mortar e.g NitoMortar
FC-B, and seal using a trowel. Allow to set for eight hours.
C3. Mix the repair resin – NITOFILL EPLV – in accordance with the manufacturers
reccomendations, and insert into injection gun.
C4. Commence filling the central nipple, and continue until resin is observed at the outer
nipples. If neccesary, continue filling the outer nipples. Note that material usage rate
should be approximately 1litre per 1m2. Do not attempt to place more than this, or the
floor could lift further.
C5. Leave for 6 hours, then remove the nipples and fixing mortar, and make the surface
good.

(Laying ceramic floor tiles by SEMI DRY method)
The areas of concrete sub strata to be tiled shall be brush cleaned and dampened until
absorption ceases followed by the finished floor level establishment by means of dots and
rules.
The total thickness of the ceramic tile flooring is 100 mm which includes 90 mm bedding
screed (1 cement: 4 mortar sand) to be mixed by weight and 10 mm thick ceramic tiles, shall
be applied as described below.
The mortar for bedding the tiles shall be 1 part cement to 4 parts sand by weight, mixed semi
dry by a mechanical mixer with only sufficient water added to give a crumbly consistency which
retains its shape when squeezed by hand permitting no fluidity
The mix shall be placed to a thickness approximately 10 mm greater than that actually required
for the bed, thoroughly compacted by tamping and drawing off to the required level with a
screed board and given a smooth trowel finish.
Civil Contractor QC visual inspection shall be conducted to ascertain proper compaction and
levels.
The surface of the screed shall be cleaned by brush prior to the application of the adhesive.
The adhesive shall be mixed with water using a slow speed drill to the water adhesive ratio per
manufacturer’s data sheet.
Adhesive Nitotile GP mix shall be applied in uniform thickness of 2 to 3 mm over the surface of
the cement sand screed bedding and then combed horizontally.

Tiles shall then be laid on the adhesive layer with a twisting motion ensuring good contact
between the tile and the adhesive bed. For this purpose the adhesive manufacturer’s
instruction shall be adhered to.
The tiles shall be correctly positioned in both directions the time these are placed forming
joints using a proprietary tile spacer ( 1.5 mm for wall tiles and 3 mm for floor tiles)
The tiles shall neatly and accurately be cut to a close fit where necessary at abutments,
around outlets, pipes and the like.
Civil Contractor QC Inspection shall be conducted for the correct formation of joint alignment
and the level profile
The tiles shall be laid level or to 1- % falls in ‘wet’ areas as may be required. Localised
variations in level for a nominally flat floor shall be a maximum of +- 2-mm under a 3-meter

When the site laboratory concrete technician, has approved the concrete delivery, the concrete
placement activity can commence. Refer to Method statement, Testing of Fresh Concrete.
The concrete shall be discharged by one of two methods. For pours greater than two cubic
meters in volume, the concrete shall be discharged through a concrete pump. For pours less
than two cubic meters, the concrete can be discharged direct from the truck mixer.
Regardless of the method of discharge, no concrete shall be dropped from a height greater
than two meters, or in a manner that shall cause the segregation of the aggregates.
Immediately prior to placement activities commencing, the reinforcement within the concrete
pour, shall be sprayed with clean water.
The placement of the fresh concrete within the shutters, shall be in a logical sequence.

Method
Pretesting Preparation
It is deemed that the line shall have been kept clean during storage and construction by
keeping the open ends capped, that the hydrotest package checklist points have been verified
and that the line is released for hydrotest and all safety precautions are taken. It is important
that the backfill and compaction of the line is done according to the installation procedures, as
this shall prevent the line from moving during pressuring as well as as providing protection
against impacts, shade etc. Joints shall not be backfilled; a taped off area shall be delimited
around the test pump, the diameter of this area shall be 1.5 times the length of the test
pressure hose between pump and blind flange; where only designated personnel shall have
access.
II Hydrotest Preparation
1. Any required temporary piping facilities, make up dummy spools shall be installed.
2. The main blind flange shall be fitted inter alia, with a manifold on which a pressure
safety valve adjusted at 1.5 times the piping design pressure shall be connected.
3. Calibrated pressure gauge ranging from 0 to 25 bar G. shall be installed on the line.
They must have valid calibration certificate.
4. The pressure hose shall be connected to the blind flange manifold through a NPT
connector.
5. Venting facilities: All steel blind flanges shall be provided with bleed valves. All high
points shall have a venting facility.
6. The line shall be filled with water the previous day to testing to allow for thermal
stabilization over-night.
7. The filling of sloped lines shall be done from the lowest point. The filling shall be done
with all vents open, vents should be closed only when clear water with no air bubbles
come through the vent. Only when all vents are closed should the filling pump stopped.
8. The pressure test pump, a triplex pump model shall be started and vents reopened to
ensure any remaining air in the pipe escapes. Once closed the pressure shall be taken
up to the field hydrotesting pressure of 1.5 times the design pressure. During the
following time periods.
a. Pressure Setting Testing
5 hours for Dias up to 4”
b. Main Pressure Testing
The 1.5 times maximum design pressure must be held for the following duration.
3 hours for Dias up to 4”
8.1 The start time should be recorded.
8.2 30 minutes stand-up for stabilisation and monitoring shall be done for every 5 bar G.

8.3 At 1.5 operating pressure the starting time shall be logged.


8.4 The test shall be monitored during this time. The pressure & temperature shall be
monitored.
9. The piping systems are designed to withstand 1.5 times the design pressure of the
pipes and fittings; in the unlikely event the pressure would rise above this point, the
safety valve shall release water which shall be kept for re-pumping at the end of the test
period.
10. After the holding time, if no pressure drop exceeding 0.3 bar G / 1000 m of line,
hydrotest shall be considered as successfully passed.
11. The pressure may then be slowly released and the line gravity drained back.
12. If the pressure abnormally drops during the testing, indicating a leak, the pumping may
be continued until the leak is detected. The leak shall then be repaired and after
depressurising and draining the line and then procedures 2 to 11 shall be followed.
13. The hydrotest package shall be submitted in advance for COMPANY / EPC
Contractor’s review. The required representatives shall complete and sign all paper
work pertaining to the test.
NOTES:
During stages 10 to 15, utmost care shall be taken to avoid damage or shock to the lines.
Personal movement shall be kept to a minimum
Heavy equipment circulation shall be avoided.
All Mechanical Compaction shall be stopped in the vicinity.
No loose rocks or bounders shall be closer that 1 (one) meter from the trench edges.
All civil works shall be stopped on the line.

A continuous procedure to lay tiles over the cement mortar screed


The areas of concrete sub strata to be tiled shall be brush cleaned and dampened until
absorption ceases followed by the finished floor level establishment by means of dots and
rules. Application of Water Proofing treatment shall be carried out for the wet areas.
The total thickness of the ceramic tile flooring is 100 mm which includes 90 mm bedding
screed (1 cement: 4 mortar sand) by weight and shall be applied as described below.
The finishing layer shall be 10 mm thick and be laid as described below.
The mortar for bedding the tiles shall be 1 part cement to 4 parts sand by weight, mixed semi
dry by a mechanical mixer with only sufficient water added to give a crumbly consistency which
retains its shape when squeezed by hand permitting no fluidity
The mix shall be placed to a thickness approximately 10 mm greater than that actually required
for the bed, thoroughly compacted by tamping and drawing off to the required level with a
screed board. Only sufficient mortar shall be mixed and spread as can be covered with tiles
before it attains its initial set.
Company visual inspection shall be conducted
A slurry of 1 part cement to 1 part sand by volume shall be poured over the surface of the semi
– dry mix bedding and spread with a trowel until it is approximately 2 mm thick
Dry tiles shall then be laid on the slurry and beaten firmly into position with a wooden beater
ensuring a true surface contact between the tiles and bedding is formed.
The tiles shall be correctly positioned in both directions the time these are placed forming joints
using a proprietary tile spacer (1.5 mm for wall tiles and 3 mm for floor tiles)
The tiles shall neatly and accurately be cut to a close fit where necessary at abutments,
around outlets, pipes and the like.
Company Inspection shall be conducted for the correct formation of joint alignment and the
level profile
The tiles shall be laid level or to 1- % falls in ‘wet’ areas as may be required. Localized
variations in level for a nominally flat floor shall be a maximum of +- 2-mm under a 3-meter
straight edge. Particular care shall be taken in ‘wet’ areas to prevent low spots that may
promote water pooling. The tolerance in the overall level shall not be more than 10 mm from
required finishes.
Grouting of the joints shall be carried out within a period of not less than 24 hours after
completion of laying of tiles so as to allow the grout attach itself firmly to the bedding.
MOVEMENT JOINTS IN TILED FLOORS
Unless otherwise indicated in the documents, a 10 mm movement joint shall be formed at the
perimeter of all the tiled floors and where the tiling meets structural features such as columns,
machine bases etc.,
Where a structural movement joint is provided in the base, a movement joint of the same width

pouring, the prepared surface shall be spread with cement slurry ratio 1:1 (1 part cement and 1
part sand) mixed with mix quality water.

The mortar for screed shall be mixed semi dry by a mechanical mixer with only sufficient water
added to give a crumbly consistency, which retains its shape when squeezed by hand
permitting no fluidity.

One layer application with 1:2.5 cement – screened sand mortar.


The mix shall be placed in one layer progressively to a thickness approximately 10 mm greater
than that actually required, thoroughly compacted by tamping and drawn off to the marked
level with a screed board.

In case, thickness of screed is more than 75mm, 8 mm T re-bars shall be placed in both
directions @ 300 mm c / c to protect cracks formation.
