C.A.No.01/CIDCO/SE(KHR)/EE(KHR-I)/2010–11 Pg. No. 488
No cement that has been stored for more than 90 days ordinarily be
allowed to be used on the works. Cement stored for longer period
than 90 days shall be used on work only with the specific written
permission of the Engineer who shall ascertain its quality after due
testing in the laboratory before giving such permission. All expenses
in connection with the test shall be borne by the contractors.
For testing the quality of cement, samples shall be taken from every
consignment arrived at the site of work at the option of the Engineer.
The contractors shall afford every facility to the Engineer for
inspection and sampling the cement. The cement godown shall be
so arranged by the contractors that each consignment could be
stacked separately and in such a manner so as to allow counting
bags in each row with case. The test results shall, ordinarily, be
available within a week of sampling and the contractor shall not use
by any part of the consignment until the results of the tests are
received and found satisfactory. Should, however, the use of such
cement becomes imperative before the test results are received, the
contractors may do so entirely at their own risk and cost and the
whole of such work carried out by them is liable for rejection, if the
tests results are found unsatisfactory. Any consignment failing to
meet the requirements of I.S. shall be rejected and shall be removed
from the work site within 48 hours of the intimation from the
Engineer. The decision of the Engineer in this respect shall be final
and binding on the contractors.
The charges in connection with the testing of cement such as
transport of samples, testing fees, etc. shall be borne by the
contractors.
