8.3.5 Surface conditions

1) Prior to any work of this section, inspect thoroughly the installation of other trades
as formwork, reinforcements, embedded items, conduits and pipes to verify that
concrete may be placed to lines and elevations indicated on the Drawings as well
as spacing and clearance from reinforcing bars. Make sure that areas are cleaned
and ready for casting concrete. Notify Engineer at least 48 hours before placing.

appearance of the structure, as acceptable to the Engineer. Locate construction
joints in floor within the middle third of spans of slabs, beams and girders. Place
wall construction joints at 12 m maximum spacing and wall control joints at 6 m
maximum spacing. Provide expansion joints at locations shown on Drawings. Place
pre moulded joint filler at the locations shown on Drawings. Follow manufacturer's
installation details. Provide waterstops to form a continuous diaphragm in each
joint. Install waterstops at locations shown on Drawings and/or as directed by the
Engineer and as recommended by the manufacturer.

third party laboratory
 8.3.7 Concrete Curing

1) Protect concrete against rapid temperature fluctuations, moisture loss, extreme

heat, mechanical injury and from rain or flowing water for a period of 7 days. Begin
curing immediately after the removal of forms or as soon as free moisture has
disappeared from concrete surfaces. Keep surface of concrete continuously wet by
covering it with water, cover concrete surfaces with the specified approved
absorptive cover and keep cover continuously wet. Cover concrete surface and
edges with the absorptive cover with 100 mm overlap.
2) Use Curing compound approved by Royal Commissioning of Riyadh city.

grade or paving as detailed in Standard drawing.
