Appendix A
1. General Requirements
EGA work permit and Hot work permit for chipping and grouting shall be obtained before
any work being executed.
2. Scope of Works
Civil Works
- Chipping work
- Grouting.
The required grouting of EDI Skids areas location shall be marked as per approved
drawing.
The surface under the base plate of Skid to be grouted shall be chipped with
Electrical Chipping Hammer and manual hammer to remove the existing paint on
floor and upper layer of the concrete.
The chipped areas shall be brushed and cleaned prior to installation of the EDI
skids.
Metal surfaces in contact with the grout shall be clean and free of oil, grease and
other foreign substances.
Prior to grouting, loose concrete or dust shall be by removed.
Before grouting commences, the concrete surfaces shall be soaked with clean
water for 2 hours, unless the grout manufacture specifies otherwise.
Adequate wedges and/or shim plates shall be used for levelling steel structures
prior to grouting. Shim plates shall be installed so that they will be fully
embedded in and surrounded by the grout to be installed later, the minimum
cover to shim sides shall be 50 mm.
The size of the grouting area shall be as per the skids demintions. The edges of
the grout shall be provided with a chamfer of approximately 25 mm.
Proper shuttering to be done before placing grout.
Form work shall be provided for grout and shall be compatible with the method
of placing
Forms shall be designed for rapid, continuous and complete filling of space to be
grouted.
Forms should behave adequate strength to withstand the horizontal forces of the
fluid grout and shall be sealed with tape to prevent leakage
The top of the forms shall extend a minimum 25 mm above the bottom of the
base plate being grouted and forms shall be left a minimum of 50 mm away from
the base plate.
The top of the forms on the pouring shall be sufficiently high but no less than
150mm
Forms shall have a chamfer strip attached where a chamfer edge is required.
Grout Mixing:
Proprietary grouts shall be mixed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. The selected water content shall be accurately measured, mixed
with the grout and continuously mixed for 3-5 minutes by using Grout Mixer to
get a mixture of uniform consistency.
Placing of Grout:
After mixing with the specified quantity of water, grout shall be placed in the
mould within the specified time by the manufacturer. Under no circumstances
shall remixing or knocking up be allowed.
The grout thickness shall be minimum 25 mm but shall not exceed 50 mm.
The grout shall fill all voids between the base plate and the foundation, and shall
have full surface contact.
At ambient temperature above 30°C, the mixed grout shall be placed immediately
after mixing.
The grout shall be poured from one point to eliminate the entrapment of air.
Curing:
After formwork striking, all exposed areas shall be water cured for 3 days or as
specified in the manufactures data sheet covered with wet Hessian. Upon
completion of the curing period, the grout surfaces shall be protected by applying
the approved above ground concrete protection system.
