Plant and mixer design data as required by project specifications. Daily records of all concrete batched for delivery to project site, including respective design mix numbers and quantities of batched concrete.
Production Criteria Concrete production must continually meet the following criteria: - The average of any three consecutive strength test results can not fall below the specified minimum strength. - No single strength test result can fall more than 3Mpa below the specified minimum strength. Batching Tolerances Concrete must be batched within the following tolerances. - Cementitious materials must be within 1% of the required batch quantity. - Fine and Coarse Aggregates must be within 2% of their respective required batch quantity.
12.
Truck Mixers Provide mixers of an approved type that are capable of combining the components of the concrete into a thoroughly mixed and uniform mass, free from balls or lumps, which are capable of discharging the concrete with a satisfactory degree of uniformity. Use truck mixers of the inclined axis revolving drum type, or concrete plant central mixers of the non-tilting, tilting, vertical shaft or horizontal shaft types. Ensure that metal rating plates are attached to each mixer specifying its mixing speed, agitating speed, rated capacity and unit serial number. Use truck mixers with a drum that is actuated by a power source independent of the truck engine or by a suitable power take-off. Ensure that either system provides control of the rotation of the drum within the limits specified on the manufacturer's rating plate, regardless of the speed of the truck. Use truck mixers of the revolving drum type that are equipped with a hatch in the periphery of the drum shell which permits access to the inside of the drum for inspection, cleaning and repair of the blades. Ensure that the water supply system mounted on truck mixers is equipped with a volumetric water gauge or approved water meter in operating condition. Annually calibrate water measuring devices on truck mixers or other water sources used for concrete water adjustments. Where a truck mixer volumetric gauge controls job site water additions, ensure the truck mixer is parked in a level condition during on-site water adjustments so that the gauge is indicating a specific tank volume before and after the concrete adjustment.
13.
Central Mixers Use stationary type mixers equipped with an approved timing device which will automatically lock the discharge lever when the drum is charged and release it at the end of the mixing period. Do not extend such operations beyond the end of that working day. The mixer shall be operated at the speed recommended by the manufacturer. The Producer shall inspect all mixers at least once each week for changes due to accumulation of hardened concrete or to wear of blades.
14.
14. Mixing and Delivery (a) When mixed batches are hauled to the mixer, bulk cement shall be transported either in waterproof compartments or between the fine and coarse aggregates.
