of existing Substations at Different Areas in Al Ain.
Specification
CIVIL WORKS
Concrete and Reinforced Concrete
The top reinforcement shall be secured against being pushed down by using steel chairs/supports
positioned between top and bottom layers of reinforcement. Steel supports shall be made of new
steel of similar type and quality of the main reinforcement.
Reinforcement bars shall normally not be connected to the earthing system. Separate earthing
mesh shall be provided instead. Earthing to be routed through piles must be isolated from the pile
reinforcement.
To receive good bonding and to avoid corrosion, plastic spacers shall be fixed between form-
work and reinforcement minimum four per m2.
2.4.4.1 General
Reinforcement of piles only, up to 100 mm below the top level of pile cap and subject to ensure
sufficient anchorage of the pile reinforcement into the pile cap, shall be reinforcement with a
fusion-bonded epoxy coating. The coating shall be applied in accordance with ASTM
A775/775M-01, and shall be carried out by an approved coating factory using approved epoxy
resins.
Bending procedures shall follow the coating factory's recommendations. The coating factory
representative shall ensure his product is used fully in accordance with his recommendations.
2.5 Cement
The type of cement to be used shall depend on the constructional circumstances and on the
prevailing local conditions. Portland cement, Type I, may be used at places not exposed to
chemical aggressiveness, whereas Portland cement, Type V, shall in general be used for all
concrete work in foundations and plinths and in concrete structures covered by soil.
Moderate sulphate resistant cement as per ASTM C 150, type 2, may be used only after
ADWEA/ADDC/AADC's explicit written approval to replace the type V cement.
Cement shall be of recent manufacture and shall be used within a period of 3 months from
production.
Total cementitious contents in the mix shall be limited to avoid excessive risk of thermal and
shrinkage cracking. It shall always be in the range of 350 – 400 kg/m3 unless otherwise approved
by ADWEA/ADDC/AADC. The proportioning of mixes for durability will be primarily
controlled through the specified limits on free W/C ratio. The W/C ratio shall always lie in the
range of 0.36-0.45. Appropriate use shall be made of approved admixtures to simultaneously
meet the requirements for W/C ratio and workability.
Before supplying cement to Site or receiving ready-mixed concrete, the Bidder/Contractor shall
submit to ADWEA/ADDC/AADC, the manufacturer’s statement of Specification and test
certificate together with date of manufacture of any cement to be used. ADWEA/ADDC/AADC
reserves the right to take samples and order any additional / re-tests in accordance with BS EN
196-7 : 1992, BS EN 196-6, BS 4450 and ASTMC 186.
In mix designs with an emphasis on durability, ground granulated blast furnace slag as per BS
6699 or EN 197 or microsilica may be incorporated in the mix. Proportions of slag shall
normally not exceed 60 %, those of microsilica shall not exceed 8%, for items thicker than 1.2m,
these proportions shall not exceed 10%.
2.6 Aggregates
Aggregates shall be crushed rock type and conform to the relevant applicable standard BS
882:1992. The combined aggregate shall be as coarse-grained and dense-graded as possible and
shall be according to the guidelines of BS 882. The maximum particle size shall be so chosen as
to be compatible with mixing, handling, placing and workability of the concrete.
For underwater concrete, proof shall be given that the mix is adequately cohesive and maintains
this property during placing by using under-water admixtures.
Aggregates shall - for all groups except the dune sand - be a product of crushed rock, with the
source and type being subject to ADWEA/ADDC/AADC´s approval. Only for exceptional cases
and upon ADWEA/ADDC/AADC´s specific written approval, aggregates of other origin may be
used for certain parts of the work.
Size of aggregate used in concrete: maximum aggregate size shall be 20mm, except for thick
elements (>900mm) where particular heat of hydration control is required. There, aggregate of
28mm max size may be used. For the required concrete of Grade 40 (C28 = 40 N/mm2), at least
one particle size fraction shall be in the 0-4 mm range.
2.7 Admixtures
No admixtures shall be used without approval of ADWEA/ADDC/AADC and unless the
suitability of admixtures must be proven in trial mixes in presence of ADWEA/ADDC/AADC.
Admixture containing chlorides shall not be used under any circumstance.
2.8.1 Testing
Throughout the construction period the quality of concrete mixed at and/or delivered to Site has
to be controlled. Tests shall be carried out in the presence of ADWEA/ADDC/AADC or under
the supervision of an approved office for testing of such kind of works. The following minimum
numbers of tests shall be carried out:
a) Aggregates
Sampling of Aggregate: Sampling and testing of Aggregate shall be carried out in accordance
with BS 812 and BS 882. However, the Client reserves the right to call for additional tests
whenever felt necessary.
b) Cement
b1) For site mixed concrete if applicable and or approved by ADWEA/ADDC/AADC
One setting test to vicat per car-load
One boiling test per car-load.
b2) For ready mixed concrete
Mill certificates of the cement used in the plant
Chemical composition in line with DIN 1164 or BS 12.
c) Water
One chemical water analysis every 3 months of construction. First analysis before start of
foundation works.
d) Admixtures and Additives
Three (3) samples of each kind of admixture and additive before start of casting of the first load
bearing structural member.
e) Concrete delivered to Site
One set of at least six (6) test cubes for every 100 m3 or every daily pour of concrete or as
directed by ADWEA/ADDC/AADC.
The compression strength tests shall be carried out after seven (7) days for the first two
cubes of each set, and after 28 days for the second two cubes of the set, and - if requested –
the last two cubes of each set may be tested in case of failure of a cube.
Slump tests are to be executed for every truck load supplied during concreting and as per
ADWEA/ADDC/AADC's instructions, provided concreting is proceeding.
