coated with a bitumastic type material or greased and wrapped with burlap and
tied.
8 For some cases steel reinforcement shall be treated using paint protection prior to
concrete pouring to avoid any corrosion due to industrial climate, marine climate,
and the using of calcium chloride in accelerator admixtures of concrete (see AS
3600-Section 4.9). For coating thickness protection shall be advice by paint
manufacture. PTI representative shall be informed for approval or acknowledge.
9 Minimum steel reinforcement requirements for installation shall refer to AS 3600
section 13, PTI representative shall have the rights to reject the steel reinforcement
inspection report if he/she deems that the installation is not comply with the
standard.
7.3 Preparation.
1 A competent and experienced foreman shall be in charge of pouring operations at
all times, and pouring of concrete shall not be started in any locations until the
foreman has ascertained that the framework, reinforcing steel screens, and the
placing of sleeves and inserts meet the requirements of the plans and
specifications. The foreman shall also make certain that all other work required to
be built into the concrete has been placed, including electrical and mechanical
work.
2 The space in which concrete is to be placed shall be free of all debris and
pounding or flowing water. The surfaces against which the concrete is to be
placed shall be clean and moist
3 The concrete surfaces to which a bond is to be secured shall be rough and free
from loose material or other matter interfering with a satisfactory bond. The
surfaces shall be wet, scrubbed with steel brushes or brooms, kept damp and
thoroughly brushed with a thin layer of mortar immediately prior to the
placement of concrete. The mortar shall have the same cement-sand ratio as the

17

Concrete Specification, Installation and Finishing

concrete.
4 A minimum thickness of blinding concrete is 50mm. Contractor can also use
plastic sheets to replace the blinding concrete. Material selection for plastic sheets
shall be approved by PTI representative prior to installation and shall be recorded
for quality control document.
5 Water shall be removed from the space to be occupied by the concrete before
concrete is placed. Any flow of water into excavation shall be diverted through
proper side drains to a sump or shall be removed by other approved methods
which will avoid washing the freshly deposited concrete.
7.4 Placing of concrete.
1 Concrete shall be placed before initial set has occurred and never after cement has
been mixed with either water or aggregates for more than 60 minutes, except in
cases where an approved retarder has been included in the design mix
2 All concrete shall be deposited in approximately horizontal layers not more than
600mm (24) thick. The concreting shall be carried on as a continuous operation as
far as practicable until the placing of the course, section, panel, or monolith is
complete. No concrete shall be deposited on other concrete that has hardened
sufficiently to cause the formation of seams and planes of weakness within the
section. If a section cannot be placed continuously, construction joints shall be
located and made as approved by THE ENGINEER. The concrete placement shall
be planned and managed to match the critical capacity of production/supply
and/or placement.
3 Concrete shall be placed with the aid of approved mechanical vibrating
equipment. Vibration shall be transmitted directly to the concrete unless otherwise
directed. The frequency of vibration shall be not less than 5000 cycles per minute.
The intensity of vibration shall be sufficient to cause consolidation of the concrete
in place. The vibration shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish through
compaction. External vibration may be used for thin sections when internal
vibration would be impracticable. Vibration shall be supplemented by forking or
spading by hand adjacent to the forms on exposed faces in order to secure smooth,
dense, even surfaces. The concrete shall be compacted and worked in an approved
manner into all corners and angles of the forms and around reinforcement and
embedded fixtures. Care should be taken not to over-vibrate causing segregation
of the concrete
4 When dropping concrete through reinforcement, care shall be taken that no
segregation of the coarse aggregate occurs. There shall be no free vertical drop
greater than 1.5 meters (5) unless elephant trunks are used. When the
congestion of steel near the forms makes placing difficult, a mortar of the same
cement-sand ratio used in the concrete shall be deposited first to cover the forms.
In the case of walls, columns, or units of considerable height, concrete shall not be
dropped from the top, but provisions shall be made for placing concrete through
openings left in the forms for this purpose. Chutes shall not be used for placing
concrete except for short distances, and only with the approval of THE

18

PT. INTERNATIONAL NICKEL INDONESIA

Specification Number CSP003 rev.1


Concrete Specification, Installation and Finishing

ENGINEER. When permitted, chutes shall be made of metal, or metal lined, of


such design as to permit the continuous flow of concrete without segregation and
shall be placed on a slope not flatter than one (1) vertical to two (2) horizontal.
5 Accumulation of water on the surface of the concrete due to water gain,
segregation, or other causes during placement and compacting shall be prevented
as far as possible by adjustments in the mixture.
6 Exposed top surfaces of foundations, piers, footings, walls, and similar structures
shall be accurately leveled off and given a wood float finish except where grout is
to be added, provide a rough surface, or where plans or specifications provide
otherwise.
7 Suitable bulkheads with key ways shall be provided in the vertical construction
joints and elsewhere as directed or specified.
8 Concrete for tremie slabs shall be placed with a tremie bucket or pipe so as limit
the mixing of the concrete with the water in the sump area. Care shall be taken to
ensure a reasonably level surface of the entire slab after completion of pouring.
9 The tremie pipe shall be water tight and large enough to allow a free flow of
concrete. It shall be kept filled with concrete at all times while depositing. The
concrete shall be discharged and spread by moving the tremie so as to maintain as
uniform a flow as practicable. If the charge is lost while depositing, the tremie
shall be withdrawn and refilled.
7.5 Curing
Fresh concrete shall be protected from heavy rains, flowing water, and mechanical
injury. All concrete shall be kept wet for a period of not less than seven days by
covering with water, with an approved water saturated covering or by a system of
perforated pipes of mechanical sprinklers or any other approved method, which will
keep all surfaces continuously ( not periodically ) wet. Wood forms left in place for
curing shall be kept wet at all times to prevent opening at the joints and drying out of
concrete. Water for curing shall be generally clean and entirely free from any
element which might cause staining or discoloration of the concrete.
7.6 Membrane Curing
1 Concrete roads, sidewalks, pavements and finished concrete floors may be cured
by the application of a liquid membrane curing compound in lieu of curing
described above if authorized by THE ENGINEER.
2 After finishing operations have been completed and immediately after the free
water has left the surface, the slab shall be completely coated and sealed with a
uniform layer of membrane curing compound conforming to the Specification of
Liquid Membrane-Forming Compounds for curing concrete (ASTM C 309) Type 1
or Type 4. Type 1 compound shall not be used on surfaces which are to receive
waterproofing, resilient floor covering, painted or finished with metallic hardeners
or color. Type 4 compound may be used on surfaces which are to receive

19

PT. INTERNATIONAL NICKEL INDONESIA

Specification Number CSP003 rev.1


Concrete Specification, Installation and Finishing

waterproofing. The compound shall be applied in a continuous, uniform film by an


approved method in complete accordance with manufacturer's specification.
3 If rain falls on the newly coated pavement before the film has dried sufficiently to
resist damage or if the film is damaged in any other way, a new coat of material
shall be applied to the affected areas equal in curing value to that specified for the
original coat.
4 The treated surface shall be protected from injury for a period of at least seven
days. Foot or other traffic necessary to continued work will be permitted on the
dried film provided any damage to the film is immediately repaired by the
application of another coat of the compound.
5 Sufficient preliminary curing, with wetted burlap or cotton coverings, shall be
supplied as specified in clause 7.5, for pavement to be membrane cured in case of
delays in the curing operation.
7.7 Weather Protection
1 Hot Weather: When necessary, arrangements for installation of windbreaks,
shading, fog spraying, sprinkling, pounding, or wet covering of a light color shall
be made in advance of placement, and such protective measures shall be taken as
quickly as placing and finishing operations will allow.
7.8 Finishing Concrete Surfaces
1

All concrete work exposed to view, on the outside as well as inside, shall be
pointed smooth. Forms shall be removed as soon as possible after pouring; all
projections shall be cut away and all depressions, air holes and other roughness
pointed up with a mixture of one-half cement and one-half silica sand (50:50 mix)
while the concrete is still fresh. Surfaces shall be thoroughly wetted before
pointing. All rough spots or surfaces shall be rubbed smooth with carborundum
stone and water and left uniform in color and free from cement drippings. Only
rubbing necessary to produce smooth surfaces free from form marks, cement
drippings or their defects shall be done. For more detail in surface finishing
please refer to clause 8.0

Fill in all holes and openings left in the concrete for steel, piping, sleeves, and
other Work. Such parts shall be filled with concrete unless otherwise detailed.

8.0 SLAB FINISHES
8.1 Unformed Finish
For the Unformed surface the contractor is not required to provide formwork to provide
either shape of finish to the surface however this work shall have the approval from the PTI
engineer prior to the work.
This category of concrete surface finish extends to all floors, pavings, slabs and inverts.
These surfaces remain exposed when concrete casting is completed. The surface results from
screed, float or trowel action, and texture sometimes provided by additional measures such
as brooming, raking, grinding or scabbling. There are eleven standard finishes specified in
the code. They relate primarily to the texture required for the surface to perform its intended
function. The derivation of a particular class of finish frequently requires the surface to
proceed through lesser classes (i.e. a U5 broomed finish is usually screeded to Class U1 and
floated to Class U2 prior to the final texture being applied. The classifications for unformed
finishes are shown in Table 8.1
