IMPLEMENTATION
1.2.2
The Contractor shall carry out the test procedures required by this Section and any other
tests and test procedures as directed by the Engineer from time to time. The test procedures
shall be carried out using the facilities of an approved independent testing laboratory.
Supply, storage, sampling and testing of all materials shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor, unless the Contract specifies otherwise.
QCS 2014
Page 5
The Engineer may also require the Contractor to take samples of materials and deliver them
to the Central Materials Laboratory for additional tests to be carried out by the Employer.
Sampling procedures shall be in accordance with BS EN 932 or relevant ASTM Standards,
and sample sizes shall conform to the requirements shown in Table 1.1.
The minimum equipment required for testing on Site is given in Table 1.2. This equipment
shall be maintained on Site at all times during concreting operations together with the
necessary scoops, buckets, sample containers, and other items required for sampling. The
cube curing tank shall be located in an air-conditioned area as stated in part 06.
1.2.3
Rejected materials
Any material rejected by the Engineer, in particular cement which has deteriorated or
aggregates which have segregated or become contaminated, shall be immediately removed
from the Site.
1.2.4
Records
The Contractor shall maintain on the Site full records of all work carried out accurately
related to the location of the work on site, which shall include:
the time and date when all concrete was poured, formwork removed and when
