5. Site Supervisor: Report to site engineer and responsible for supervision of all work
guided by site engineer.
5.0 SECTIONS 5: METHODOLOGY
5.1 SURVEY
The location of pier cap and layout will be checked with respect to the reference
points already established during survey work for pier casting.
5.2 STAGING
Staging will be done by means of fixing pipes and clamp to facilitate binding of
reinforcement and placing of shutter.
5.3 TREATMENT FOR OLD CONCRETE OF PIER
All loose materials will be removed from pier top before placing of pier cap
reinforcement and 6 to 8 Shear keys will be provided after pouring of pier by the help
of battens.
5.4 REINFORCEMENTS:
Reinforcement will be fixed as per approved drawings by two methods, (1) by fixing
at the location of pier cap, (2) fixing in rebar zig and lifting and placing by crane at
pier cap location.
Concrete cover blocks of size 65mm, having same grade of that of pier cap concrete,
shall be provided to maintain the required clear cover for outermost reinforcement.
The reinforcements shall be tied with M.S Binding Wires. The location of laps shall
be certified by PMC before execution and coupler will be fixed at suitable location.
5.5 FORM-WORK:
Form-work shall be prefabricated as per the drawings for full height of pier caps to be
cast and they shall be marked suitably for easy assembling at site. The form-work
shall then be transported to concreting location. The form-work shall be done suitably
Page 4 of 15
PROCEDURE FOR PIER CAP CASTING
Project:
as per drawing dimensions and shall be in four segments to cover the entire periphery.
The surface of the form-work, which shall receive the concrete, shall be thoroughly
cleaned. After fixing the form-work in position, they shall be got checked from PMC
representative and once the form-work is found to be in order, concreting shall be
done. The oil applied for easy removal of shuttering shall not leave stains on the
surfaces of the concrete.
5.6 CONCRETING
Concrete of required grade shall be produced as per approved design mix at the
centralized batching plant at casting yard. The concrete shall be transported to the
location of pouring in transit mixer.
The slump shall be kept as per approved mix design. Before pouring of concrete, the
slump shall be checked. In case, due to some reasons, the slump goes below the
specified limit during transit, re-dosing of admixture shall be done in transit mixer.
The concreting shall be done using Concrete Pumps or Morgan Placer or Concrete
bucket with flexible hose or buckets or tremie and the height of fall shall not be more
than 2.00 m. The compaction of concrete shall be done using needle type vibrators
and shutter vibrators. The diameter of the vibrator needle will be 60mm. To check the
quality of concrete, cube shall be taken for testing of compressive strength as per
specification.
5.7 CURING
The pier cap shall be covered with Hessian cloths after removal of form-work and
these shall be kept moist by sprinkling water. On the top surface of pier cap, water
shall be poured directly on the surface to keep it moist.

As per the actual site condition, the number of equipment’s mentioned above may increase or
decrease. Any other equipment’s, machinery, tools and plants etc. whenever required to
complete the casting successfully shall be deployed.
6.0 SECTION-6: HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
Barricade of suitable width and length shall be erected for pier cap casting work. Suitable
reflectors, blinkers, diversions boards, proper illumination, painting of barricade etc. shall be
provided for the road users and their safety. All site personnel shall be provided with helmet,
boots and other personal safety devices.
Proper precaution and safety devices shall be used for activities like fabrication, handling of
electrically operated equipment’s etc.
All site personnel shall follow the health and safety policy of the company and environment
policy.
7.0 SECTION – 7: QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
Workability test shall be carried out on the concrete on arrival of transit mixer from batching
plant and records shall be maintained. Test cubes shall be cast as specified and the 07 days as
well as 28 days strength results shall be submitted to the Engineer. Cube identifications shall
be embossed on cubes with date of casting, structure identification, concrete grade and
reference number. The reinforcement as per approved Bar Bending Schedule, shall be
inspected with respect to GFC drawing.
All the tests will be done as per ITP & will be recorded as per prescribed formats &
checklists.
