Construction Process:
1. Surface Preparing: Remove the coating of the concrete surface with grinder / Sandblasting.
Chisel must not be allowed to use for preparing the substrate. Substrate shall be cleaned with
vacuum hose and freed of grease and oil, Laitance must be removed completely. The optimum
surface roughness is between 0.5 and 1.0 mm. Bad concrete (Honeycomb), uneven surfaces, loose
material, wood pieces, insulation material, etc. shall be removed. Polishing the surface if there is
angular, grind it into a round.
2. Setting out: Get the concrete surface clean and keep it dry, then setting out.
3. Apply primer: Apply primer adhesive onto the surface of the concrete.
4. Apply high strength mortar / levelling: Apply high strength mortar for repairing and levelling if
needed.
5. Fabric cutting: Cut Glass fiber fabric into sizes as designed.
6. Preparing the impregnation adhesive i.e. epoxy resin: Weight and mixing adhesive according to
ratio. Stirring the adhesive until the color is even. Avoid air bubbles in this process.
7. Applying Impregnation Adhesive: Apply impregnation adhesive when primer adhesive is touch
dry. (If primer is not required, impregnated adhesive can be applied directly)
8. Apply Glass fiber fabric: Apply Glass fiber fabric onto the concrete surface as designed.
Levelling the surface from one end to another.
9. Check Gap or Bubble: Apply impregnation Glass fiber adhesive again. Make sure the adhesive
impregnation is fully into the fabric. The surface is flat and no air bubble. Repeat the above
process by cutting Glass fiber if applying two or more layers.
10. Laminate surface shall be coated with epoxy and epoxy coated surface shall be blown with dry
sand. Installation of Laminate at wall junction corners shall be as per the drawings or BOQ or
approval/instructions of the engineer-in-charge.
 Applying high strength mortar with Single component Co
polymer Latex Liquid) in proportion of 1:5:15:1
(Polymer:Cement:Sand:Water)

Co polymer latex liquid (AC-Polycrete or equivalent) is an eco-friendly, milky white

styrene-butadiene co polymer latex liquid, which is used with cement, concrete and plaster to
improve waterproofing, new to old concrete/plasterbonding, improve strength and reduces
shrinkage and cracking of the mix. It is especially suitable for shrinkage / crack control. High
flexural and Tensile strength to control cracking. Especially in thin mortar layer (below 12
mm thickness) reduction of shrinkage cracks due to fast drying could be avoided.
Improvement in water retention value of mortar can be achieved. It is a mortar modifier
which improves flexibility, water resistance and strength characteristics. It is good adhesion
to cementatious surface. Improves strength of adhesion to the basic old surface by inter
molecular locking. Increase in compressive and flexural strength compared to plain mortar.
Prevent corrosion control of embedded steel.
Application procedure:
1. Surface preparation:
 Remove all loose concrete, grease, mould oil or curing compound from concrete
and steel surface using wire brush, scrubber.
 Saw cut the concrete arease to a square or rectangular profile to a minimum
10mm depth at the extreme edges.
 Roughen the surface free of loose particles and dust and saturate with water.
 Remove excess/standing water.

2. Method of mixing:
 Mix Co polymer latex liquid (AC-Polycrete or equivalent) with cement, sand and
water in the proportion of 1:5:15:1 ratio by weight (10kg polymer : 50kg cement :
150kg Sand : 10 kg water) and apply on tacky surface and finish with trowel.

Supplying and installation of (8+8mm) thick clear toughened glass
laminated with PVB
Supplying and installing of 8+8mm thick clear toughened glass laminated with 1.52mm PVB
(polyvinyl butyral) layer in between, including SS 316 grade stainless steel heavy duty fittings
with necessary SS screw, SS fastener and anchor bolts, caps, SS plate or aluminium plate of size
(38mm x 3mm) for the ridge, non-staining weather sealants of approved make, the complete
system to be designed to accommodate thermal and seismic movements, the joint between glass
panels and gaps to be filled with non staining weather sealant , so as to make the entire system
fully water proof and dust proof, including necessary scaffoldings all complete as per design
drawing, instructions and acceptance of site engineer.
This glass is constructed by two or more glass panes bonded together with interlayers of
polyvinyl butyral (“PVB”) or ionomers between them and then treated and is generally used for
safety and security purposes since the PVB layers make the glass layers stick to them so that it
does not fall out of the window frame.
PVB laminated glass is produced using an autoclave, which produces heat and a vacuum inside
the vessel, in a controlled environment. This heat and pressure are applied to sandwiching a
flexible interlayer between layers of glass. Generally, the interlayer has a thickness of 0.38mm
with multiple interlayers available up to 1.52mm thick dependant on the application.
Quality should be Conforming to ANSI Z-97.1-84 and ECE- R43

Tarfelt
Prior to the laying of the roofing materials on the slope or flat roofs, one layer of finished
underlay shall be provided on thin news paper sheets. The underlay shall work as the false
ceiling for the room as well as shall act as the water-sealing agent to the room. This is achieved
through the following:
Waterproof and Termite resistant Plywood:
Kit Plywood of Phenol Bonded, hot pressed and termite resistant special plywood with
manufacturer’s guarantee towards their reliability to the specifications, of the kind, as per the
Indian Standards. The sizes and the thickness shall be as per the detail designs and as specified in
the bill of quantities. Samples of the materials and their manufacturer’s warranty card shall be
submitted for Project Incharges approval.
Tarfelting and Bitumen Paints:
Tar felt: Shalimar Tar felt or equivalent shall be according to IS. Tar felt supplied should be
packed in rolls with IS Certification mark. Tar felt shall be free from visible external defects,
such as holes, oil patches, ragged or untrue edges, breaks, cracks, tears, protuberances and
indentations. Unless otherwise stated, tar felt supplied shall be in widths of 90 cm and 100cm
and generally in lengths of 10m and 20m. The sample should be submitted to the Engineer In-
charge before bulk purchase, and should be approved by him.
Bitumen Mastic: Shall be of approved quality conforming to IS: 3037-1965. This shall be
supplied in sealed tins with IS Certification mark.
Laying: The felt shall be laid in lengths at right angles to the direction of the run off gradient,
with paper or plastic barrier between tar felt and concrete, commencing at the lowest level and
working up to the crest such that the overlaps of the adjacent layers of felt offers the minimum
obstruction to the flow of water. In the next layer, mastic asphalt or bitumen is spread, and tar
felt is laid. The tar felt laid should be in three layers.
The bitumen mastic (binding material) shall be prepared by heating to the correct working
temperature and conveyed to the point of work in a bucket or pouring can. Each coat of each bay
shall be spread evenly and uniformly by means of a float to the recommended thickness, on to
the previously prepared surface, the isolating membrane or the preceding coat. Each coat of
bitumen mastic shall be followed, without delay by the succeeding, since exposure to
contamination (by dust or dirt) might impair adhesion and cause blistering. The finished floor
shall not sound hollow when tapped with wooden mallet. The tar felt before laying shall be first
cut to the required lengths, cleaned of dusting materials and laid out flat on roof. Each length of
felt prepared for laying shall be laid in position and rolled up for a distance of half of its length.
The hot binding material shall be poure on to the roof across the full width. In case of rolled felt,
the felt is steadily rolled out and pressed down. The excess bonding material is squeezed out at
the ends and is removed as the laying spreads. When the first half of the strip of felt has been
bonded to the roof, the other half shall be rolled up and then unrolled on to the hot bonding
material in the same way. Minimum overlap at the ends and the sides of strips of felt shall not be
less than 15cm. All overlaps shall be firmly bonded with hot bitumen. The laying of second layer
of felt shall be so arranged that the joints be staggered with those of the layer beneath it.
Measurement
Measurement of all the works will be made in m2 of works as specified.
Payment
Payment for work will be made on the basis of contract unit price indicated in the BOQ. The
payment will be full and final compensation for all material, labour, and equipment to complete
the works as specified.
