The placement of concrete for deck portion shall be carried out in 3.0 m wide horizontal

strips.

The final top surface is given a broom finish by using brooms. Adequate lighting

arrangements would be provided for concreting during nights.

To provide safety during construction, Staging of slab shall be carried out using
beam, channel & bracket.
Minimum clear horizontal distance between two bracket is 1 m. Longitudinal
pressing shall be placed on girder.

When the bracket of the girder is completed, the beams are fixed in the cribs. The
shuttering panels are held in position by bolting arrangement and joints of top
panel shall be sealed of using 6 mm thick foam sheet and sealing compound. To
meet the requisite levels of the form panel with one end other minor adjustments
i.e. small rise in the stirrup head is carried.
When the entire staging and formwork is ready the same is checked and
approved by Engineer. The deck profile is checked and approved by Engineer
before concreting .Any minor adjustments to the deck profiles are made by rising
or lowering stirrup heads or by placing packing material.
6.1.2.4 Placement of reinforcement:
The BBS shall be prepared and got approved from Engineer. The reinforcement
are cut and bent at the site. The reinforcement work would be carried in one
phases
Deck reinforcement
Before placement of reinforcement the entire formwork is cleaned using
compressed air. The reinforcement is fixed in position and tied using binder steel.
Suitable cover blocks are provided to provide cover to the reinforcement. When
the entire reinforcement of bridge deck is completed the same is got approved by
Engineer.
The top reinforcement is fixed in position as described earlier. The reinforcement
projecting into crash barrier & Railing is also provided. When the entire
reinforcement work is completed the same is again got checked by Engineer.
Pockets for the fixing expansion joints would left by using thermo coal (insulation
material). The reinforcement in the location of the drainage spouts is moved
locally to accommodate the recess of the drainage hole. The drainage spouts are
fixed at their respective locations. The drainage spouts are packed with sand so
that the concrete doesn’t get filled in.

6.1.2.5 CONCRETING:
The deck superstructure is of the design mix concrete of grade M-40 and is cast
in situ.
Phase I-Deck slab
Before the concreting operations are planned the entire checking with the
supervision consultants would be completed. All the loose materials are
removed/blown using air compressor. The concreting operations would be done
in single pour from end diaphragm to end diaphragm. Prior to concrete, the
arrangements for concreting are checked so that no interruption occurs during
concreting. Approved mix design would be followed during concreting. The
placement of the concrete would be through concrete pump/crane & bucket
arrangement. The placed concrete is vibrated using needle vibrators of
appropriate diameters.

The concrete would be carried in horizontal strips of 3.0 widths. The concrete
placing would be carried forward followed by finishing activities. The final top
surface is given a texture finish using brooms. When the concrete of the first
strip is partially complete, masons would finish the concrete top surface using
floats & trowels. Exposing the aggregate partially, where further concrete is to be
carried out i.e. in the location of crash barrier.

6.1.2.6 CURING:
Immediately after concrete is hardened, curing shall be started. For the curing
purpose we will have a flexible pipe, which is connected to the main line from
which continuous curing is carried out. Bunds of size 2.0x2.0 m2 shall be made
using sand cement mortar. Curing shall be carried out for period of 14 days.

6.2.7 DE-SHUTTERING:
The de-shuttering of the girder would be completed in stages.
In the stage1, side form panels of longitudinal girder, diaphragms is removed
after 12 hrs. of concreting.
In the stage 2, vertical panels of deck are removed after 24 hours of concreting.
In stage 3,stagings along with soffit panels underneath longitudinal girders and /
diaphragms are removed after 21 days of concreting.

6.2.8 MATERIALS FOR SUPERSTRUCTURE : -

All the basic materials shall be used for bridge works shall confirm to the section
1000 of MOST specification.
The QC-laboratory will test to confirm the acceptability of the materials proposed
shall use in the works.
A Project quality plan was submitted for quality control & quality assurance
All the materials from various sources will be tested & got approved by the
Engineer Prior to use.
Routine testing on stacked materials will be carried out from time to time as
directed by the Engineer.
The frequency of tests will confirm to requirements of Technical specifications.
The approved sources will not be changed without prior approval of the Engineer.
Stockpiles of aggregates will be inspected intermittently. Construction water and
curing water will be tested & approved by the Engineer. With the approved
materials and mix design concrete will be produced at batching plant and
transported to site through transit mixers as per site requirement.

7. Safety & Environmental Requirements :

Hazard Identification, Risk assessment and Risk control measures for each and
every activities and sub-activities involved in the present Segment shall be
identified and necessary action plan shall be initiated.
C.G.I. sheet fencing shall be erected on either side of railway track at a distance
of 2.5 M from centre of existing track .No manpower /equipments shall be
allowed to cross the fencing.
All workmen shall use personal protective equipment like hardhat &safety shoes.
