GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION
Contractors are required to perform the works fully complying with these General and Technical
Requirements, which form an integral part of the project technical documents. Prior to
commencement of work, Contractors (Site Managers) are required to thoroughly review all the
designs and site investigation reports, and familiarize themselves with on site soil morphology and
hydrogeological conditions. During their review, the Contractors are required to notify the Supervisor
of all the irregularities identified in the design.
Contractors are required to prepare a critical-path-method-based detailed construction schedule and
coordinate the construction accordingly. The construction schedule should be supported by a written
document certifying that all the materials needed have been provided and that their delivery dates
correspond to the construction time schedule.
Contractors are required to organize construction management on the site, provide the necessary
premises and storages, as well as to appoint a Manager in Responsible Charge who will be
authorized to perform the required type of work.
Construction Manager needs to: be present on-site at all times while the construction lasts; register
with the AHJs in order to obtain the Notice of Commencement; and obtain all the permits and
approvals necessary for commencement of construction according to the regulatory requirements for
construction.
Prior to commencement of works the Contractor is required to survey and mark the building site,
routes of all existing and underground utilities, positions of existing facilities, as well as to form a
reference network using temporary bench marks, which will help control the elevations and directions
at all times during construction. The work needs to be performed in full compliance with these
conditions and other regulations for this type of work. If there happens to be an amendment of these
regulations or new ones are to be passed in the course of construction, the Contractor is required to
comply with their latest versions.
All items of the Priced Bill of Quantities suppose performing each item of works fully conforming to
the plans, technical description, static calculation, details and subsequent designer details, applicable
technical regulations, standards and instructions of the Supervisor and the Designer, with utmost
professionalism and precision.
All the works and materials specified in the itemized descriptions of the PBoQ need to be included in
the prices proposed by the Contractor. Prices contained in the PBoQ are the Contractor's selling
prices, and are inclusive of all the costs of work and material, onsite and offsite transport, scaffolding
(unless it is specified in a separate item of work), water, lighting, driving material and energy for the
machines, utility costs, social security, all state and municipal charges, Contractor's earnings and all
other costs that may be incurred due to the special conditions of work, envisaged by average norms
in construction.
A general description provided for one type of work and material binds the Contractor to perform all
such works appearing in other items as provided in that general description, irrespective of whether
or not the item concerned includes a reference to the general description, and, of course, unless
otherwise specified in that item.
All construction works and construction trades require use of 1st class quality material. The material
used for contracted works needs to correspond to the current SRP Standards or other recognized
norms and standards applicable to the use of this material and corresponding to the descriptions of
items of work that include it. Each material delivery must be supported with a certificate issued by the

Supplier. Those materials that are not approved by the Client's representative, for not being of 1st
class and planned properties, must not be used, unless the item of the PBoQ specifies its lower
quality. All the material found incompliant with the PBoQ and Conditions the Contractor is required to
remove off-site, and the Client's representative will suspend the works if the Contractor tries to use it.
In the event there is a problem with a material, such material needs to be sent to the institute for
material testing, whose results are authoritative both for the Client and for the Contractor. The
Contractor will be responsible for all the materials used and not used, as well as for all the works
performed before the final handover, i.e., before granting of the Occupancy Permit.
All construction works and construction trades require engagement of appropriate and qualified
workers, as provided in the current average norms in construction. Upon Client's request, the
Contractor is required to remove from the site all negligent and unprofessional workers.
The works need to be performed as specified in the design, contract and these conditions. Should
there be an inconsistency between them, the Contractor is required to timely ask the Supervisor or
the Design Professional in Responsible charge for a solution. Each change to the design needs to be
approved by the Design Professional in Responsible Charge, Supervisor and the Client.
It is necessary to perform building and soil surveys during construction as provided in the Bylaw on
Scope and Procedure of Building and Soil Surveys during Construction and Use.
In addition to these General Conditions for Construction, for building construction and overall
construction works current Law on Building Construction is also binding.
SPECIAL TECHNICAL CONDITIONS
Groundwork
Prior to commencement of ground work, the Contractor is required to perform clearing and grubbing
in the area of concern, and then in the presence of the Supervisor, based on the plans mark the
building footprint on the ground, make permanent reference points and elevations following
recognized surveying methods, and make a record of them in the construction log.
If the site is not prepared for construction, the Investor is required to provide the Contractor with
timely demolition permits, as well as with the permits for temporary or permanent relocation of
different facilities, utilities and trees.
All excavations need to be formed by proprely cutting their sides, to required slopes, with rough
and fine planing of their bottoms.
Foundation pit securing, i.e., strutting and shoring of trenches and its sides needs to be
performed in compliance with the Design of Foundation Pit and Foundation Pit Protection, as
well as the Bylaw on Technical Norms for Construction of Building Foundations.
During construction of foundations the Contractor is required to monitor groundwater levels. Prior to
or during excavation plan appropriate actions to drain away ground or storm water.
Prior to commencement of groundwork, perform clearing and grubbing of the site on which the
building will be constructed. After this, in the presence of a Suprvisor, measure the site on
which the structure will be errected. Bind the structure to the ground both horizontally and
vertically, and survey the cross sections in order to measure the excavated quantities for
payment.

1.5
Make sure to include all these works in the price of excavation, since they will not be paid for
separately.
Perform excavation exactly as planned, vertically and laterally cutting trench sides, and finely
planing its bottom on a level envisaged by the design.
If the soil undergoing excavation is of poor properties, the top layer about 20 cm thick needs to
be stripped immediately before the commencement of foundation construction.
Exacavation shall be performed in soils with natural moisture content, under normal working
conditions.
The Contractor is required to coordinate the excavation and fill. If for whatever reason they
cannot achieve this, the Contractor will be responsible to store excavated ground to a
designated area and backfill it when the opportune. As the fill obtained from the borrow pit the
final balance will admit only that part of the fill that could not have been obtained from the
excavations formed in order to construct the building of concern. This needs to be approved by
the Supervisor hired by the Employer.
Use the excavated ground primarily to fill over the foundations and around the walls, and
transport the surplus ground offsite to a location designated by local AHJs, municipality of
Supervisor hired by the Employer.
Drainage of constant groundwater, as well as the work under water will be paid as a separate
item of work if needed, while on the other hand, drainage of stormwater (precipitation) and of
the water periodically inflowing from time to time will not be paid for separately.
Once the excavation is completed, the Contractor is required to ask the Employer/Supervisors
for inspection and acceptance of completed excavation, i.e., approval that the building's
foundations will be constructed on levels envisaged in the design.
The Contractor will not be allowed any overexcavations; rather, the Contractor will be required
to backfill the overexcavated areas at their own expense using lean concrete, made with 100
kg of cement to 1 m3 of concrete.
Soil classification shall be performed by the Supervisor and the Contractor together, who will
document their findings in the construction diary. Pricing the groundwork quantities for
payment will be performed onsite, in compliance with the general norms in construction,
general conditions for construction, on the basis of longitudinal and cross sections surveyed
prior and posterior to excavation.
Payment shall be made for complete work on the basis of 1 m3 of excavated residual ground or
m1 of completed work, as described in the general conditions.
Bulk excavations shall be all those excavations the bottom of which exceeds 20 m2, and the
area of the smaller side exceeds 2,00 m1, including the excavations for foundations, pad
foundations and smaller cuts.
Prices of all kinds of excavations are inclusive of the transport of ground to its point of use or
the surplus ground landfill. This landfill will be chosed by the Supervisor.
Landfills and borrow pits will be treated in accordance with the temporary technical regulations.
Excavated ground is classified on the basis of the following criteria:

1.6
a) Classes 1 and 2 are all the excavations performed manually or with the aid of excavating machines
in fertile soils, subsoil and sandy soil, compact sand and fine-grained unbound gravel.
b) Classes 3 and 4 are all the excavations performed with pickaxes, all types of bulldozers with blades
and rippers, all types of excavators with a clamshell or a ripper, including conglomerate layers at
the most 50 cm thick. Classes referred to in item a) can be considered classes 3 and 4 when
excavated with pickaxes, buldozers or excavators.
The listed types of excavation under item a can not be classified in the 3 and 4 category and
when they are excavated by pickaxe, buldozer or bagger.
c) Classes 5 and 6 are all the excavations performed with pneumatic or electric drills, or mining, while
can be classified based on the criteria under a) and b).
Excavations of larger scale shall be classified by the specialized committee during excavation and
after drilling, but before concreting and bricking of building parts that would obstruct future inspection
of excavation structure.
This committee will be formed of permanent representative of the Contractor and the Employer, and
a neutral expert in exceptional cases, when the Contractor's and Employer's representatives cannot
agree of the soil class.
All representatives forming the excavation classification committee, as well as their replacements will
be appointed in a decision of the Contractor and the Employer.
Costs of hiring a neutral expert will be paid by the Contractor and the Employer together, in all the
cases.
The committee will document the information on excavation classification in the construction diary of
the building concerned.

WIDE EXCAVATION OF SOIL

Works include wide excavations of all types of soil materials which are planned by the
design together with transport i.e. pushing of excavated materials to the waste dump on the
side in the zone owned by the Client due to later placement.
The design covers for the excavated mkaterials to be storaged to the local waste dump
located within the plot.
All excavations should be executed accordign to profiles, described levels, presribed
design slopes, taking into consideration the required characteristics for dedicated use of
excavated materials and in conformity with these technical conditions and SRPS.U.E1.010.
Prior to commencement of works the Contractor is obligated to perform control of the
designed profiles and to notify the Supervisor regarding possible discrepancies which will
together with the contractor perform a new control. The necessary corrections will be inscribed
into profiles and into the Site Book which must be signed, as the profiles, by authorized
representatives by the Client and Contractor. The precision of excavation should be 5cm. This
procedure verifies the correctness of profiles for calculation.
Excavation should be performed by adequately selected mechanization so that the
manual work is limited to the necessary minimum.

1.7
Excavation categorization in the mixed materials is mandatory regardless if the
Contractor requested it. It is executed towards the transversal profiles during construction in
the percentage from the overall surfaces of transversal profiles for certain types of soil
materials which is the basis for determining of total quantities for a certain category. Excavation
categorization is performed by the Committe in the following constitution: Client certified
geomechanical labboratory, supervisor and contractor; they make a minute and on the basis of
recognized percentages, through the minute, the Clients representatives calculates the
categories.
During execution of excavation all necessary protective measures should be enforced
for the complete safety during work and all necessary securing of the existing buildings and
circulation areas. In each work phase efficient dewatering of the road trunk must be enabled.
Sequence for execution of excavation should be adjusted in such manner so that pockets
would not form where water would collect in case of rain. Difficult work due to occurence of
water during excavation will not be paid separately. Attention should be paid so that
undermining does not occur, ballance disturbance or damage of slopes which are planned by
the design. The contractor is obligated to repair any such case according to the instructions by
the Supervisor and at his own expense.
Metering of quantities for excavation calculation is performed on the basis of actual
volume of excavation metered in autochtonous state, on the basis of metering of transversal
profiles after taking of humus and per the final excavation within the deisgn, namely changes
approved by the supervisor.
Larger excavated quantities from those in the designed are not paid if they occured by the fault
of the contractor.
Payment per m3 of autochton excavation separately for certain types of soil materials.
The price includes all excavation works with loading, transportation and unloading of materials
on the side of the construction waste dump in the zone owned by the client.
MAKE AND MECHANICAL COMPACTING OF MATERIALS FROM FILL
These works include filling, srepading, rough i.e. fine spreading, wetting and compacting
of materials by adequate selected means in conformity with the dimensions and levels from the
design.
Making of fill is in layers.
All works must be executed in conformity with the design and these technical conditions.
Value of compressibility module for certain materials is determined by the
geomechanical laboratory on the basis of material characteristics.
The required compactness by the deisgn is minimum minMe=25MPa.
Slab testing should be executed on materials whose humidity is close to optimum.
Ready fill must have the designed slope descents, dimensions and levels with tolerance
of maximum 5cm. Dimensions and slopes are metered after taking off from the slopes of non
compacted layer, which is not paid separately because those works are included in the price
for executed and compacted fill, wide and higher executed slopes occured by the contractors
fault will not be calculated and the contractor is obligated to execute proper repairs to the
designed dimensions with the tollerance of maximum 5cm.
Calculation and payment is per m3 of executed (compacted) fill metered per profiles.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PILE DRIVING PROCESS

EARTHWORKS
Prior to commencement of earthworks on site, earth onto which the building will be
erected will be clear of weeds and shrubs. Furthermore, site survey will be carried out
in the presence of a Supervisor so as to decide the exact position of the future
building. The survey will be performed both horizontally and vertically. Cross profiles
will be surveyed as well in order to calculate future soil excavation. All of these works
will be included in the price of excavation as they will not be charged for separately.
Soil will be dug exactly according to plan, all of which will be accompanied by either
vertical or sloped removal of lateral excavation sides, whilst excavaton bottom will be
leveled adequately so as to meet the design level. If the soil of poor quality is
discovered on site, the last layer of cca 20 cm in thickness will be dug right before
foundation has been formed. The term work used in the course of excavation means
an excavation of moist soil in its natural state under the normal working conditions at
the site.
Excavated soil will be chiefly used for backfilling around the foundation and walls,
whilst surplus soil will be removed from the site and taken to the landfill. Bracing of
lateral excavations as well as protection of adjacent facilities will depend on the natural
state of the soil as well as on the position of adjacent facilities. The protection will be
included in the price of excavation as it will not be charged for separately. In the same
way the price will also include marking out of both building foundation and equipment,
all of which has not been included in the project. Drainage of present groundwaters, as
well as underwater activities will be charged for separately under specific work item if
necessary, whereas the mentioned drainage of storm waters, i.e., precipitations which
may represent occasional water flow into foundations will not be charged for
separately.
After excavation has been formed a Contractor has to request both inspection and
acceptance of formed excavation from the Client, i.e., control which will confirm that
the building sits on design foundations.
Foundation redigging by a Contractor will not be allowed, therefore a Contractor will be
obligated to fill all holes during redigging at his/her own expense up to design levels by
use of lean concrete, i.e., 100kg cement per m3 of concrete.
Soil category will be decided by both a Supervisor and a Contractor; all of which will be
entered up in the Site Book. Earthworks will be calculated at the site according to
Required Standards in Civil Engineering, General Work Performance Requirements
and in line with both longitudinal and cross profiles surveyed both before and after
excavation.
Payment will either be made per m3 of excavated soil or per m3 of formed excavation,
all in conformity with the General Technical Requirements. Wide excavation means all
excavations stretching over 20,00m2 whose smaller side is over 2,00m, it also means
excavations on foundations and pad foundations as well as excevations at cuts.

Excavation price includes soil transport to the trench or to a landfill where surplus soil
is deposited.
Excavated soil is categorized according to the following criteria below:
- I and II category refers to all excavations performed either manually or mechanically
onto fertile land, sub-soil and sandy soil, compacted sand and fine unbound gravel
- III and IV category refers to all excavations performed by pickaxe, all types of
bulldozers with the blade and a ripper, all types of excavators with a stick and bucket,
including all conglomerate layers maximum 50 cm thick. Soil types specified under I
and II category cannot fall under III and IV category not even when they are dug by
pickaxe, bulldozer or a bagger
- V and VI category refers to those excavations formed by electric pneumatic drills,
which do not belong to any of soil categories mentioned above
Categorisation concerning excavations of bigger size is decided by the Inspection
Committee in the course of excavation and after they have been formed i.e., prior to
both casting in place and brick laying which could hinder later insight into excavation
structure.
The Committee is composed of Contractors representatives, Client and possibly of a
neutral expert when Contractors and Clients representatives cannot agree on
excavation categorisation. Above mentioned representatives are appointed by both the
Client and the Contractor through official certificate delivered to the Excavation
Categorisation Committee. Data on excavation categorization are entered up in the
Site Book by the Committee.
Expenses concerning engagement of neutral persons will be incurred equally by both
the Contractor and Client at all times.
REINFORCEMENT
Reinforcement B500B will be used in full compliance with SRPS EN 10080.
Reinforcing bar has to be clear of dirt, rust, grease and other. In the course of further
concrete casting in place, reinforcement ends which protrude from the concrete will
have to be cleaned adequately as described above. The main reinforcement will be
attached to every U-bolt, whilst protruding reinforcement will be taut by a burnt wire
1mm, all of which will be done adequately so as to meet the details. Only those
quantities actually installed in concrete will be considered during payments, supply and
laying of reinforcing bars, all of which will be done either fully in line with reinforcement
plans or Supervisors decision if the quantity is exceeded, i.e., after a Supervisor has
allowed it. If the Contractor fails to provide adequate reinforcement diameters the
same Contractor will change details, calculate them again and produce new ones at
his/her own expense. Structural design and details are submitted to both a Designer
and a Client for an approval, i.e., work is commenced after a go-ahead signal. In such
case, reinforcement weight installed in the said way will not be paid by the Client, i.e.,
the Client will not pay for more than agreed in design details. Payment regarding
installed reinforcing bar will be made per unit price for one kg of iron, which includes:
purchase and delivery of reinforcing bars, binding wires, washers and other additional
fittings, cleaning, cutting, bending, installation, welding and all other expenses in
connection with purchase and laying of a reinforcing bar.

CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE WORKS

Both casting in place and concrete laying will be performed mechanically. Designated
concrete class will be achieved through proper mixure of Portland cement, water and
aggregate, as well as by use of mixtures of adequate quality and testing of selected
cubes sampled by the Contractor and sent to the Institute for Materials Testing.
Expenses regarding the tests will be included in the unit price of concrete. Portland
cement will be delivered to end users on site in either original bags or cisterns. Cement
must be kept in dry areas and moved to another location every 3 days, whereas
cement from cisterns has to be stored in closed airtight tanks. If a poor concrete quality
is achieved when compared to a tolerance required in technical regulations, such laid
concrete will be replaced only if the reduced quality places the structure in jeoperdy,
i.e, only if the previous approval is obtained by both a Designer and a Supervisor.
Both interruption and continuation of concrete casting will be performed in full
compliance with technical regulations and instructions given by both a Supervisor and
a Designer. Possible honeycombing in concrete will be both filled and plastered by the
Contractor after it has been given a go-ahead signal by the Supervisor, with no right to
compensation. Concrete segregation will be avoided either by use of funnel or by
stirring. The structure will be protected against the sun, wind and frost during the day,
which will be included in the price of concrete.
All works must be performed in a way to correspond to layouts, details and structural
analysis, i.e., in a higly professional manner by engaging adequate professional work
force and professional supervision on site. All concrete surfaces will be made smooth
so that noticeable concrete surfaces will be flat and its edges undamaged.
Unplastered concrete surface will be placed in a formwork plastered on the inside.
Calculation regarding completed works will be made according to actual quantities
used at the site. The price also includes formation of utility tunnels for water supply
pipes, sewer pipes, central heating, formwork and other. Reinforcement will be
calculated separately.
Fluvial aggregate of exactly the same grading as Moravac gravel will be used for
casting of concrete.
For that reason, constant control both over dosing and granulometric composition will
be introduced on site. Water, which is needed for concrete production, will come from
the water main.
Formwork will be sprinkled over the course of casting, which will be included in the
price of concrete.
The price of formed concrete includes all expenses in connection with delivery of
concrete both inside and outside the site (both horizontal and vertical), overheads, all
taxes, tools, work and material, electricity and other, all of which will not be charged for
separately. Both Bylaw on Technical Measures and Requirements for Concrete and
Reinforced Concrete and Bylaw on Technical Merasures and Requirements for
Prestressed Concrete will be fully adhered to in the course of concrete casting.
Contractor is obligated to test the aggregate prior to concreting of structure elements in
conformity with SRPS B.B.0B001, U.M.8.020, U.M.8.021, B.B.8.030, B.B.8.032,
B.B.8.034, B.B.8.035, B.B.8.036, B.B.8.037, B.B.8.038, B.B.8.039, B.B.8.040,
B.B.8.044, B.B.8.047 and B.B.8.048 prior to casting of structural members.

1.12
As for concrete class MB-30 and 40, Contractor has to test the cement in conformity
with SRPS B.C.1.012, and B.C 8.020.
Contractor is obligated to test cube samples to SRPS U.M.1.010, U.M.1.011, i
U.M.1.012.
PILE DRIVING
After ground has been adequately leveled, piles will be marked by temporarily driven
stakes. Pile driver will be positioned adequately at its intended position for pile driving,
whilst its associated equipment parts will be positioned vertically. Boring is carried out
on the rough site surface which is cca 20cm higher when compared to the level of
design low foundation surface. Boring can also be carried out in the presence of
groundwaters, whereas a borehole has to be lined with a steel casing in the course of
drilling, rebar installation and pile concreting at all times.
If pad foundations, parts of old foundations, MEP systems or alike are discovered at
the site in the course of boring in such case both a Supervisor and a Designer will be
informed about it.
After boring has been completed, the position of steel casing will be surveyed with an
adequate instrument and its exact position entered up into the Site Book. Under no
circumstances will a bore hole axis depart from a design one for more than 5 cm along
its entire height.
If bigger bore holes are observed on site when compared to design ones, such bore
holes will be backfilled with sand and new ones drilled at Contractors expense.
Once the pipes are lowered down to borehole bottom, on no account will such pipes be
pulled out until a pile has been cast in place.
Excavated material from the bore hole will be placed at boreholes lateral sides and as
such it will be shown to a Supervisor for inspection, who will in turn in the event of any
kind of irregularity or doubt require Designers opinion.
After excavated material has been inspected by a Supervisor and if a Supervisor will
allow it, the said material will be removed from the construction site.

REINFORCEMENT CAGE

Reinforcement cages or rebars made from reinforcing bars will not be assemblied at
the site, i.e, they will be delivered as ready-made. Used steel has to be fully compliant
with regulations. Cross reinforcement will be 50% welded to a longitudinal one. Rebars
will be delivered in a careful manner at the site so they would neither suffer
deformations nor distortions.
Delivered rebar at site will be lifted carefully by either a hoist or a pile driver, positioned
vertically and lowered down the borehole immediately after the bore hole has been
cleared and Supervisors approval in writing on pile driving continuation process
obtained.
If problems of any kind would be encountered during rebar installation, the same rebar
will be pulled out, inspected, dimensions checked and possible mistakes rectified.
Rebar will not touch the borehole bottom; instead it will be placed at about 10cm above
its bottom so as to provide a protective layer for adequate pile positioning. Time
between rebar installation and casting of concrete will not last for more than 2 hours,
i.e., only under special circumstances and after Supervisors approval in writing has

been obtained will time between rebar installation and casting of concrete last up to 4
hours so as to stop fouling of reinforcement and formation of clay film on it.
Boring schedule and pile driving depend on conditions at the construction site.
Pile concreting schedule is decided by a Supervisor in full accordance with work
performance schedule and general conditions observed on site.
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE PILES
Pile casting is carried out in full compliance with regulations and TUI by MB 40
(C30/37) ready made concrete delivered at the site.
Concrete is poured into steel casing D=200mm, i.e., casing is pushed into both rebars
axis and concrete to a depth of 2,00m, whereas at the start of casting the casing is
lowered to a depth of about 10 to 15 cm above the borehole bottom, meaning that
concrete is pumped inside until steel casing is lowered to a depth of 2,00m and later
forced out following concreting.
Lowering of steel casing down the borehole is mandatory so as to avoid contact
between fresh concrete and the first layer of cast concrete which emerges at the
surface, meaning the steel casing is slowly and gradually forced out at the top of the
borehole and cropped.
Depth at which the steel casing is lowered has to be controlled at all times so as to
ensure depth of around 2,00m at which the casing will be positioned.
When dismantling, removing and cropping the steel casing, the same casing will be
pulled out above the concrete surface, low part of the casing will be secured to the
surface around the borehole, one segment /part/ will be forced down into concrete,
concrete will be poured into the funnel, the funnel will further lower the casing down
through which concrete will be poured. The whole operation concerning pipe cropping
will not last for more than 10 min.
If the requirement set out in item V.03 is met and concrete mix still continues to be
poured quickly, in such case water cement factor of concrete should be reduced.
Casting may also be performed with pumps if better concrete quality is required.
Funnel for concrete pouring has to be in a shape of a cone, whose sides sit at an angle
of not less than 45 when compared to their horizontal plane. Funnel dimensions
should assure funnel volume of approximately of total steel casing volume, which
allows continuity of concrete pouring through the casing. As far as the casing of
D=200mm and concrete pouring depth of 20,00m is concerned, funnel volume of about
V=0,65 m is required.
Proper casting of concrete at its very beginning is essential for the quality of a driven
pile; therefore special attention will be paid to it. As far as the first concrete pouring
goes, the quantity of prepared concrete has to be such to meet the volume of borehole
at the depth of 2,00m. After the first concrete layer is poured casting will continue in
parallel with forcing out of casing at the height of 5 to 10 cm making sure that the low
part of the casing does not empty. If the casing does empty during concrete pouring
the same casing will be forced back into the concrete mix until concrete level in the
funnel is brought to an equal level with the level of both funnel and casing. Pile will be
concreted at the level of minimum 30 cm which is higher when compred to the level of
low edge of girders positioned at the same place, fully in accordance with design data.
Pile will be concreted in continuation with no interruptions whatsoever, all of which
depends on adequate concrete delivery organization which assures concrete pouring
prior to its binding. Concrete binding process will not last less than 2h from the moment
of its mixing. Used concrete has to be of such properties to ensure both safe and
