specification and to ensure that during the course of concrete mixing and preparation. Materials shall
comply with the requirements defined in the Technical Specifications and codes.

Cement
 Cement shall be as specified.
 Cement type for different members will be as specifications and drawings.
 Source of cement shall be consistent for each individual element.
 Source shall be approved by the Engineer as part of the concrete mix design procedure.

Aggregates
 Coarse and fine aggregates shall be obtained at locations as per the approved design mix
documents.
 Aggregates shall be tested as per the project specifications and codes to satisfy the requirement
individually and within the mix design.

Water
 Water source shall be the one defines and approved in the design mix approved documents.
