4.0 METHOD & QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE

4.1 HACKING OFF BORED PILES

4.1.1 Piles shall be exposed to 75mm below cut off levels. The level shall
then be marked on exposed bored piles.

4.1.2 Bored piles shall then be hacked using pneumatic breaker up to the
pile cut-off level or up to required lap length whichever is greater.

4.1.3 Waste piles shall then be disposed.

4.1.4 As-built positions of piles shall be recorded by surveyor before

carrying out any further works.

4.2 CONSTRUCTION OF PILE EXTENSION / PIER COLUMN

4.2.1 The reinforcement of pile extension / pier columns shall be

extended vertically maintaining lap length of 50D with the starter
bar of pile.
4.2.2 Circular steel mould of 900mm and 1500mm dia. shall be used for
abutment and pier column respectively.
4.4.1 The position and verticality of the moulds shall be checked for
accuracy and tolerance before concreting.

4.4.2 Concreting shall be carried out using crane and bucket. The lift of
concreting shall be approximately 2.0m.

4.4.3 Where required, scaffolding with timber platform shall be erected

around the pile / pier location for the workers to pour concrete
above ground level.

4.4.4 The mould shall be removed after 12 hours of concreting. Curing

compound shall be sprayed on concrete surface for curing
purposes.

4.5 CONSTRUCTION OF CROSS BEAMS

4.5.1 Temporary staging for cross beams construction shall be erected.

The dimensions of staging at top shall be sized for adequate and
safe working area.

4.5.2 Bottom timber formwork shall be fixed first. Side formwork will
only be installed after reinforcement bars, fabricated according to
drawings, are put in place.

4.5.3 Holes for dowel bars shall be provided at required locations before
concreting.

4.5.4 Levels shall be marked on the formwork for concreting to maintain

the required top camber crosshead.

4.5.5 The cross beam shall be concreted at one stretch using crane and
bucket.

4.5.6 The side formwork for cross beam shall be stripped after 12 hours
of concreting. Bottom formwork and staging shall be removed after
7-10 days provided concrete has attained 2/3 of 28-day strength.

4.5.7 Curing of concrete shall be carried out by applying curing compound

on exposed concrete surface.

4.6 DOWEL BAR / RUBBER STRIPS

4.6.1 As shown in the drawings, dowel bar and rubber strips shall be
provided at required location using approved materials.

4.8.2 Launching of precast slab shall be done by cranes.

4.9 CASTING OF DECK SLAB

4.9.1 Reinforcement shall be laid as shown in the drawings.

4.9.2 The top levels of concrete shall be marked over the side formwork
and also on the 6mm dia. steel rods spaced suitably covering the
entire deck slab area.

4.9.3 Concreting shall be done using crane and bucket.

4.9.4 Curing shall be done by providing wet gunny sacks for 7 days.

4.10 PARAPET, KERB AND CABLE TRENCH

4.10.1 The works shall be taken up upon completion of deck slab of the
bridge.

4.10.2 Precast parapet shall be manufactured in factory and transported
