Substructure 1. Scope: Reinforcement & Formwork

This document provides specifications for constructing substructures of bridges and rail over bridges (ROB). It outlines the scope, procedures, equipment, tolerances, quality assurance, and health and safety requirements for the substructure work. Key steps include installing reinforced formwork and weep holes in lifts, concreting to maintain grade, and curing concrete cubes to check strength. Quality control includes checking dimensions and levels during construction. Worker health and safety must follow the project's HSE plan.
