2.2 Site Preparation

Check For Existing Services

Before construction works start, whatever existing services available , it
needs to be reroute or protected so that it will not effect site activities.

Survey Setting Out

All the detailed setting out and level of the structure shall carried out as per
approved construction drawings
Formwork
The timber were used as formwork shall be fabricated and prepared at the
carpentry yard. The prefabricated formwork shall be taken to the work place
for construction
The formwork shall be rigid to maintain the forms in correct position, shape
and dimensions until done with pouring, ramming, vibration and setting of the
concrete.
Concrete
Concrete mix design for the specific strength shall be submitted for approval.
Trial mix shall be carried out as per concrete mix design
Concrete grade shall be as specified on the construction drawings
Steel Reinforcement
All reinforcement bar (rebar) raw material shall be jointly inspected by client
or client representative and mill certificate shall be submitted
Rebar shall be cut and bent as stated in construction drawings
Rebar is to be transferred to job site when required
All reinforcement bar shall be tied with binding wires
Used spacer block as supports for the reinforcements to create gap in
between reinforcement and concrete and to prevent from sagging during
concreting works.
Links shall be tied to the longitudinal bars using tie wire
For rebar which required to be laid in layers, e.g. reinforcement mesh, then it
shall be rigidly supported on mild steel chair to prevent sagging during

The dense concrete spacer or equally approved shall be used in between the
reinforcement, bottom and sides to ensure correct cover concrete over the
rebar

2.3 Work Methodology

The works shall be supervised by supervisor and safety supervisor; they shall be present
at all time to ensure the safety at site is not compromised. All the required certificates
must be submitted before work commencement

Excavation Works
Setting out and mark the location for excavation works.
The Depth of the excavation will be refer to the construction drawing as a
reference.

Cut Off Piles

Piles shall only be cut-off after securing the directive and acceptance by the
site S.O. This is to ensure that any re-driving work that would be required
can still be carriet when such situations warrant.
The value for pile cut-off level must be formally agreed and any piles that
need to be brought up to the required cut-off level must meet the S.O.s
agreement and guidelines. Where pile cut-off levels are below ground,
excavation sides shall either be sloped or protected by an earth retaining
structure to prevent collapse of the excavated pit.
Where pile cut-off levels are below water level, suitable enclosing structures
(e.g. cofferdams) shall be installed to exclude water from the works

Fabrication Of Pile Plugs

Stripping of piles and fabrication of pile heads for concrete piles shall be
carried out in accordance to the Drawings. The lengths of stripping and

drawings.

Installation Formwork
The postion of the pilecap will be mark and formwork will be install

Installation Rebar
The Rebar will be install base on construction drawings and spacer
block will be use as supports for the reinforcements to create gap in between
reinforcement and concrete and to prevent from sagging during concreting
works

Placing concrete shall comply with BS 8110-1 clause 6.2.2.
When water table is high or after heavy rain, dewatering pump shall be used
to ensure the excavated trench always in dry condition during excavation and
construction of pipes/cables bedding.

Compaction
The concrete shall be compacted thoroughly by vibration to form a dense
homogenous mass free form voids
Vibrations shall be carried out continuously until the expulsion of air has
ceased. The compaction shall be deemed completed when mortar appears to
be annulus (in a circle) around the vibrator
Compaction of concrete shall comply with BS 8110-1 clause 6.3.
