certified report that cement confirms to the provision of I.S. shall be furnished if demanded. If<br />
necessary, testing will have to be carried out, in approved laboratory without any extra cost. For<br />
compressive strength and initial setting time test as per I.S.456.<br />
Water to be used for mixing and curing shall be potable water free injurious and deleterious<br />
materials confirming to IS 3025, proper storing facility at site shall be provided by contractor and<br />
see that water do not get contaminated – The suitability of water for making concrete shall be<br />
ascertained. Water shall confirm to the test as given in I.S.3025.<br />
(III) MIXING:<br />
Ingredients i.e. cement, sand and coarse aggregates shall be measured by weigh batcher or<br />

quantity that will be required for one bag of cement.<br />
All ingredients shall be mixed in mechanical mixer. Ingredients shall be first mixed dry for 1<br />
minute and than required quantity of water is added as per design and mixed for minimum 1 ½<br />
minutes till concrete is uniform. Entire concrete in the mixing drum shall be discharged in pre<br />
operation before raw materials for second batch is feed into the drum.<br />
Concrete which can be laid before initial setting time of cement shall be prepared. Party set or<br />
tempered concrete shall not be used. Mixer machine, weigh batcher etc. shall be cleared after<br />
completion of work. Mechanical mixture shall comply to I.S.1791.<br />
For checking consistency and workability of concrete, slump test shall be carried out as per IS<br />
1199 if desired by Engineer-in-charge.<br />

keeping them wet by spraying or sprinkling water. Where structure is at higher level contractor<br />
shall arrange for pumping arrangement for water. Water tight sump may be prepared on site or<br />
storing of water for curing and other uses.<br />
Curing is important for gaining strength of cement structure. Hence full proof arrangement is<br />
required to be made. If curing is found sufficient, the same shall be arranged by department as<br />
risk and cost of contractor and charges as per rules shall be recovered from contractor’s bills.<br />
