For RTT sites following points to be checked while surveying the site,
• See the physical site condition of the site.
• Building should be with frame structure (RCC Columns & Beams)
• Building should be with minimum 3-4 storied
• Proper approach road should be available to reach the material vehicles at
site.
• Space for material lifting should be available at site.
• Proper space for Electrical earthing should be available.
• Proper separate 24x7 accesses should be available.
• Site should be located at a distance of twice the height of Indus
communication tower from the high tension electrical wires.
For GBT sites following points to be checked while surveying the site,
• Proper plot size should be available.
• Proper approach road should be available to reach the material vehicles at
site.
• See the soil conditions, should not be water logged.
• See the land use of the sites.
• Site should be located at a distance of twice the height of Indus
communication tower from the high tension electrical wires.
For all materials describe below, It will be vendor responsibility to make available
all civil materials at site as per specifications and parallel check from the site civil
supervisor/site engineer/civil engineer before using them. It will also be vendor
responsibility of returning back surplus material to warehouse.
• CEMENT (Confirm- IS:269-1978)
Fine aggregates shall consist of natural sand resulting from natural disintegration
of rock and which has been deposited by streams or glacial agencies, or crushed
stone sand or crushed gravel sand.
• It should be free from adherent, clay, mica and inorganic impurities.
• It should be clean, sharp, angular (gritty to touch), hard and durable.
For all works it should be coarse sand except for plastering works, which
require fine sand. All sand is generally found to contain some % of silt i.e. not
more than 6% except Stone Crusher sand. For ordinary masonry work, for
concrete etc., sand should pass through a sieve of 2mm x 2mm mesh. For fine
works, plaster, pointing etc, sand should pass through sieve No-14 or 16BS-
1mm sieve.
Note ; Crushed stone is not so satisfactory as natural sand since crushed stone
contains a lot of the fine particles like dust.
Aggregates shall not contain any harmful material, such as iron pyrites, coal
fragments, shells, organic impurities etc., in such quantities as to affect the strength
or durability of concrete and in addition to the above, for reinforced concrete, any
material which might cause corrosion of the reinforcement.
General Characteristics:
Water used for cement concrete, mortar, plaster, grout, curing or washing of coarse
aggregate shall be clear and free from injurious amounts of oil, acid, alkali, organic
matters or other harmful substance in such amounts that may impair the strength or
durability of the structure. Portable water shall generally be considered satisfactory
for mixing and curing of concrete.
• BURNT BRICKS
• SETTING OUT
The contractor shall be responsible for the true proper setting out the works in
relation to original points, line and levels of reference and for the correctness of the
levels, dimensions and alignment of all parts of work and for the provision of all
necessary instruments, appliances and labor in connection therewith. If at any time
during the progress of work any error appears or arise in the position of levels,
dimension or alignment of any part of work, the contractor will be responsible to
rectify the same at his own expenses to the satisfaction of the engineer-in-charge.
The contractor shall layout one or more permanent benchmarks in some where
within plot before the start the work, from which all-important levels for the work
will be set.
GENERAL
Scope:
This specification establishes the material, mixing, placing, curing etc of all
type of cast-in-situ concrete used in foundation, underground and over
ground structures, floors etc. Any special requirements as shown or noted on
the drawing shall govern over the provisions of this specification.
Codes:
• Before placing concrete, all equipment for mixing and transporting the
concrete shall be cleaned and all debris shall be removed from the
place to be occupied by the concrete. All form and soil surfaces shall
be finished to desired levels and shall be thoroughly wetted
immediately prior to placing of concrete.
• Concrete shall be handled from the place of mixing to the place of
final deposit as rapid as practicable by methods which will prevent the
segregation or loss of any of the ingredients.
• The concrete shall in no case be dropped from a height of over 1.5m
and it shall be carefully laid in position. Concrete shall not be done
unless the form work conforms to the shapes, line and dimensions as
shown in drawings. The form work should be sufficiently rigid during
placing and compaction of concrete and no segregation of aggregates
shall take place. The method of placing and compaction employed in
any particular section of work shall be entirely to the satisfaction of
the Engineer-in-charge.
• To ensure bond and water tightness with old concrete surface, they
should be cleaned and roughened by wire brushing & chipping. The
bonding of old and new concrete should be done by applying the
cement slurry /binding compound after thoroughly watering the old
concrete surface and removing all free particles.
• Unless otherwise approved, concrete shall be placed in single
operation to the full thickness of slab, beams and similar members and
shall be placed in horizontal layers not exceeding 1m deep in walls,
columns and similar members. Concrete shall be placed continuously
until completion of the part of work between construction joints or as
directed by the Engineer-in-charge.
• Concrete shall not be started unless the electrical conduits, fan hook or
any other piping wherever required are laid by the contractor.
• Before concreting, the contractor shall provide, fabricated and lay/fix
in proper position all metal inserts, anchor bolts, pipe etc. as per the
relevant drawings and at the direction of the Engineer-in-charge.
3.7 CURING
Heavy loads shall not be placed on or moved across floor slabs until
curing is complete. Care should be taken to prevent floor surface from
being marred/spoiled/damaged during the curing period. Fresh laid
concrete formwork shall not be jarred/shaken.
Days of % Compressive
curing Strength
3 days 40%
7 days 65%
28 days 100%
As per IS:456 following are the minimum values of test results after curing
for 7& 28-days in respect to different concrete mix.

Plastering shall be started from the top and gradually worked down towards
the floor. The thickness of plaster shall be as per specified. To ensure an
even surface, plaster pads of about 10cm x 10cm shall be first made
horizontally and vertically at not more than 2m interval over the entire
surface to serve as gauges. The mortar shall then be applied on the wall or
the surface between the gauges and finished even.
Rounding chamfering corners, junction etc. wherever required shall be done
by the contractor. If specified in item, chicken mesh of sufficient width to
extend over the uncommon material and fixed by nail before plastering is
done.
• Curing
Curing shall start 24-hours after the plaster is laid. It shall be kept wet for
7-days. During this period, it shall be suitably protected from all damages at
the contractor expense.
Any cracks, which appear on the surface and all portions found hollow when
tapped, or are found to be soft or otherwise defective shall be cut out in
rectangular shape and redone as directed by the Engineer-in-charge.
General
Flooring shall consist of a sub-base laid on the compacted earth or sand fill
as required, as base course laid on the sub-base and then a finished layer of
concrete or any other material, as specified, to be laid. The material for
filling (earth or sand as specified) shall be brought from the source as
approved by the engineer-in-charge.
• Filling
The surface to receive the filling shall be first cleared free of all roots,
vegetation and wetted. Filling in plinth or other specified levels shall
proceed in layers of 15cm along with the construction of building. It shall be
watered and well rammed in layers as mentioned above and compacted to
the satisfaction of the engineer-in-charge.
Care should be taken to remove all roots, vegetation, foreign matter etc.
from the earth used for filling.
Where sand filling is specified, the sand shall be clean, free from vegetation
and other deleterious/ harmful materials. In case of sand filling, flooding
shall be done to achieve compaction if required.

possible.
• After completing work on cables, seal the cable ducts according
to the regulations for the building.
• Minimize the amount of inflammable material.
• Avoid storing empty packaging material on the site.
• Use a powder or carbon dioxide type of fire extinguisher due to
the electric nature of the equipment inside the Radio Base Station.
