' PART 3- EXECUTION
3.1 Placement and Preparation
' 1. Remove soft and unstable areas in sub-grade and backfill and compact with
approved granular material.
2. Compact sub-grade uniformly to minimum 95% Standard Proctor Density (S.P.D.).
3. Place granular base course materials to the specified minimum depths as detailed.
4. Keep granular materials clean and free of deleterious materials at all times.
5. Maintain final grade of granular base course parallel to finished grade and obtain
approval of base before proceeding with work.
' 6. Submit all written test reports.
7. Comply with CSA-A23.1 with respect to conveying and placing of concrete.
' 8. Transport concrete from mixer to point of deposit and deposit in its final position
as quickly as possible to prevent separation and loss of materials.
' 9. Do not use re-tempered concrete or concrete which has been contaminated by
foreign substances.
10. Place concrete in a continuous operation until section is completed or between
joints. When required, place construction joints in accordance with CSA-
A23.1.24.
11. Consolidate concrete, by approved means, while it is being placed. Thoroughly
work concrete around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into corners of
forms.
12. Maintain constant quality control to ensure that finished concrete is dense,
' uniform and free of honey-combing and that no separation of materials can occur.
13.. Place expansion joints where shown on drawings and as detailed.
' 14. Do not continue reinforcing bars through expansion joints but stop on either side
of joint.
15. Install joint filler as detailed and to the specified depth. Expansion joint shall be
true to line and plumb.
16. Seal expansion joints as soon as curing of concrete has been completed.
17. Apply sealant in strict accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Clean
joints thoroughly before sealing and remove all laitance.

' 3.2 Weather Protection
1. During cold weather protect concrete and concreting operations in accordance
with CSA-A23.1.19.
2. During hot weather comply with the requirements of AC1-605.
' 3.3 Curing
1. After concrete has sufficiently set, keep exposed surfaces continuously moist for at
least seven (7) days.
2. Concrete shall be moist-cured with the use of burlap, or an approved equal, which
shall be thoroughly wetted when applied and kept moist continuously during the
' curing period.
3. The use of curing compounds must be approved by the consultant and shall then
' meet the requirements of ASTM-C309.
4. Curing compounds shall be approved and shall be applied in strict accordance
' with the manufacturer's recommendations, or as directed.
3.4 Admixtures
1. It is the contractors full responsibility to adjust the proportioning and/or admixtures
in order to prevent cracking, spalling, etc. due to weather or any other reason.
Repairs 3.5 Re P
Submit written report from supplier when doing so.
'
1. Curb cracking may be repaired by sawcut only if done in a vertical position
otherwise break-out and re-pour new concrete.
2. Repair all concrete curbs before final course of asphalt is laid.
3.6 Testing
' 1. Concrete testing shall be done by taking three (3) concrete control cylinders for
each fifty (50) metres of concrete placed but, in any event, not less than one (1)
test for each day concrete is poured.
2. Cylinders shall be taken from the concrete as it is delivered to the job site in the
presence of, and as directed by, the testing engineer.
' 3. Cylinders shall be cured under laboratory conditions and shall be tested for
compressive strength, slump and air content, in full accordance with CSA-A23.
One cylinder shall be tested at seven (7) days and two cylinders at twenty-eight
(28) days.
' 4. All freshly mixed concrete shall be tested for air content at time of placement, in
accordance with CSA-A23.2.19.

5. Be responsible for the costs of all such tests and of additional tests resulting from:
a) failure of test specimens to meet specified requirements.
' b) changes in materials, proportions and mix design and supply when
requested by the contractor.
' c) Re-testing due to failure of test specimens.
6. Submit complete, written test reports to the consultant.
