Fins or offsets caused by displaced or misplaced form sheeting, lining or form sections, by loose knots in form lumber or by otherwise defective form lumber are considered abrupt irregularities. All other cases are described as gradual irregularities. Gradual irregularities will be measured with a template consisting of a straight edge for plans surfaces or its equivalent for curved surfaces. The length of template for testing gradual irregularities on formed surfaces shall be 1.5 m in length, the permissible gradual irregularities being measured over this length of the template. Finish F1, F2 and F3 shall describe formed surfaces. Finish U1, U2 and U3 shall describe unformed surfaces. Class F1 Finish This class of finish shall apply to all formed surfaces for which class F2 or F3 is not specified. It shall generally be formed by sawn timber formwork/timber frame or steel frame mounted with plywood or steel sheet. It shall be so constructed that there shall be no loss of material from the concrete during placement and compaction. After hardening, the concrete shall be in the required positions and shall have the shape and dimensions called for in the drawings. Any abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 10mm. All fins and drifts in excess of the above limits shall be made good by chipping and grinding if required by the Engineer- in-charge. Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be expected but the surface shall be free from voids, honeycombing or other large blemishes. Class F1 finish shall be generally specified for all surfaces buried in ground or not visible during service or for Signature of Bidder Page 93 GARUD

96 Section-V : Work Plan & Technical Specifications surfaces that are to receive further rendering treatment such as plastering etc. Unless otherwise specified in the item of Bill of Quantity the surface finish shall be understood to be Class F1. Class F2 Finish Class F2 finish shall be obtained by the use of properly designed forms, either close jointed wrought timber forms or with forms having plywood or steel sheet lining. The abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 5mm and gradual irregularities shall be less than 8mm. Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be permitted but the surface shall be generally free from honeycombing, voids and large blemishes. Surface irregularities in excess of those stipulated shall be removed by chipping or rubbing with abrasive stone. Class F3 Finish Class F3 finish shall be formed by specially designed close jointed rigid forms having lining of high quality form plywood. The surface irregularities shall be limited to nil for abrupt irregularities and 3 mm for gradual irregularities. Class F3 finish may be obtained from class F2 finish by carefully removing all abrupt irregularities including fins and projections by rubbing/grinding. If steel forms are used they shall have steel sheet backing faced with plywood. In addition, finish F3 shall include filling air holes with mortar and treatment of the entire surface with sack rubbed finish. It shall also include clean up of loose and adhering debris. For a sack rubbed finish, the surface shall be prepared within two days after of removal of the forms. The surface shall be wetted and allowed to dry slightly before mortar is applied by sack rubbing. The mortar used shall consist of one part cement to one and one half parts by volume of fine (I.S. No. 16 mesh) sand. Only sufficient mixing water to give the mortar a workable consistency shall be used. The mortar shall then be rubbed over the surface with a fine burlap or linen cloth so as to fill all the surface voids. The mortar in the voids shall be allowed to stiffen and solidify after which the whole surface shall be wiped clean with clean burlap such that all air holes etc. are filled and the entire surface presents a uniform appearance without air holes, irregularities etc. Class U1 Finish This is the screeded finish used on surfaces over which other finishes such as wearing coats etc. are to be placed. It is also the first step in the formation of U2 and U3 finishes. The finishing operation consists of leveling and screeding the concrete to produce an even and uniform surface so that the gradual irregularities are not greater than 5 mm. Surplus concrete should be removed immediately after consolidation by striking it off with a sawing motion of a straight edge or template across a wooden or metal strip that has been set as guide. Unless the drawings specify a horizontal surface or show the slope required, the tops of narrow surfaces, such as stair treads, walls, curbs and parapets shall be sloped approximately 10 mm per 300 mm width. Surfaces to be covered with concrete topping, terrazzo, and similar surfaces shall be smooth screeded and levelled to produce even surfaces, irregularities not exceeding 5mm. Class U2 Finish This is a floated finish used on all outdoor unformed surfaces not prominently exposed to view such as tops of piers etc. The floating may be done by hand or power driven equipment. It should not however be started until some stiffening has taken place in the surface concrete and the moisture film or 'shine' has disappeared. The floating should work the concrete no more than is necessary to produce a surface that is free from screed marks. All joints and edges should be finished with edging tools. It shall include the repair of Signature of Bidder Page 94 GARUD

97 Section-V : Work Plan & Technical Specifications gradual irregularities exceeding 5 mm. All abrupt irregularities shall also be repaired unless a roughened texture is specified. Class U3 Finish This is a trovelled finish used on all surfaces exposed to view at close quarters such as tops of parapets and kerbs etc. Steel trovelling should not be started until after the moisture film and 'shine' have completely disappeared from the floated surface and the concrete has hardened enough to prevent an excess of fine material and water from being worked to the surface. Excessive trovelling, especially if started too soon, tends to produce crazing and lack of durability. Too long a delay will result in a surface too hard for proper finishing. Steel trovelling should be performed with a firm pressure that will flatten and smooth the sandy surface left by floating. Trovelling should produce a dense, uniform surface free of blemishes, ripples and trovel marks. It shall include the repair of all abrupt irregularities and the repair of gradual irregularities exceeding 5 mm. It shall also include finishing the joints and the edges of concrete with edging tools. CLAUSE 1509 (Substitution) RE-USE OF FORMWORK This Clause shall read as under: "After forms are stripped, all materials shall be examined for any damage and damaged pieces, if any, shall be removed either as rejected or for rectification if possible. The materials found fit to be reused shall be thoroughly cleaned. Holes bored through sheathing for form ties shall be plugged by driving in common corks or foamed plastics. Patching plaster may also be used to fill small holes. After cleaning and before re-fixing, each formwork shall be got approved from the Engineer. Form work and staging shall be so used as to ensure quality of the exposed surface. If in the opinion of the Engineer, any particular panel/member has become unsatisfactory for use at any stage, the same will be rejected and removed from site. Clause 1514 (Additional Clause) SPECIAL ARCHITECTURAL FINISHES Materials Where special architectural finishes have been specified which require special patterns, grooves, ridges, surface finishes etc., and which are to be obtained by casting concrete against forms, need specially designed forms and special finishing using suitable materials. These forms can be made from materials specified in IRC-87, relevant IS codes with special workmanship/controls. Use of any other material is to be permitted only after specific written approval from the Engineer. Design and Workmanship, Removal, Protection and Reuse The design and workmanship of these formwork has to be got approved from the Engineer. The method of removing formwork without damaging the 'form- finished' surface, use of de-bonding agents, the protection and repair of forms and forms-surfaces, and limit on re-use etc. are to be as per specification/drawings in absence of which the proposed details are to be got approved from the Engineer. All such methods will have to be suitably improved based on the result of mock-up or field use. The final procedure and details shall be improved till the specified/desired architectural finish is obtained. Mock-up After design and before incorporation in the main work, the effectiveness and success in achieving the desired finish has to be demonstrated/confirmed by casting the mock-up. The approved 'mock-up' surface shall be retained till Signature of Bidder Page 95 GARUD
