CONCRETING PILE CAP

I. Pre-Concreting Inspection
- Prior to concreting works for a structural member, carry out joint inspection with
consultant / COW on the preparation made and ensure the formwork and steel
reinforcement are in compliance with the construction drawings and criteria set out in
the Pre-Concreting Checklist.
- After the approval of pre-concreting inspection by consultant /COW, then is allowed to
proceed the works unless remedial works to be carry out and re-inspection required.

II. Construction Method

- Concrete pouring and vibrating

1. The approved concrete grade 35 will be transported to the site from RMC supplier.
Each mixer truck delivery on site, slump test will be taken for record.

2. Concrete bucket lifted by crane shall be used for pouring concrete wherever
applicable.

3. Concreting for a single structural element shall be cast continuously to eliminate

cold joints. The compaction of the concrete using concrete vibrator with 2 inch
vibrator needles brand FUJI (refer catalogue) and one vibrator for standby to ensure
that concrete does not appear cold joints, vibrating dense and timely leveling
compaction. If some reason not able to continuous pouring, then a construction joint
will be provided from the one third from the top of pile cap level. If concreting is to
commence from a construction joint, clean and roughen the surface of the hardened
concrete before placing fresh concrete against it within before 48 hours. To ensure
no construction joint will happen during concreting pile caps, well planning and
scheduling of concreting for pile caps need to be ready before.

4. Safety precaution if heavy raining during concreting, plastic sheet / canvas will put
to cover the fresh concrete. Continuing the process of concreting when the raining
stop.

5. For the pile caps that connected with concrete ground slab and ground beams, the 1st
stage of concreting shall be cast together with ground beams inside the area of pile
caps until below the ground slab 150 mm as per construction drawing details
(KKL/9204/ST/8D&8E/L1-01 Rev. F). Ground beams and column starter bar inside
the pile caps shall be install with follow lapping requirement 45 diameter of bar. After
finish concreting, straight away using manpower to clean the top of pile caps
reinforcement bar affected with cement slurry during pouring concrete pile cap.

6. Before proceed the 2nd stage concreting, backfilling and preparation for carriageway
formation need to be done, layer by layer with good soil and approved aggregates to
be backfill and compact with a rammer. For the ground the Field density test need to
achieve 95% and the crusher run subbase the In Situ CBR need to achieve 25 %.
Independent lab tester will be call for the test and result report will submit to
consultant.

7. The 2nd stage of concreting will cast the ground slabs until ground floor finish level.
In between this, the others typical ground beams need to be done prior to the 2nd
stage of concreting pile caps.

8. All of construction joint need to roughen, cleaned and moistened of the hardened
concrete surface before placing fresh concrete against it.

9. Point to the final concrete level in one operation in horizontal layers.

10. The concrete will be laid up to the required levels, setting the elevation point on bar
or formwork and concrete surface will be finished as smooth as required.

11. After concrete casting and finishing in early period of hydration, sprinkle water in
surface of pile cap. The pile caps shall be keep wet constantly for minimum 10 days.

 12. After the concreting works is complete, dismantling of vertical formwork will be
carried out after minimum 3 days.

III. Post Concreting Inspection

- Upon removal of formwork, carry out joint inspection with consultant/COW on the
completed structures.

- Obtain acceptance from the consultant/COW that the structural members are
satisfactory and meet the specifications and construction drawings.
