36. Registration of Drawing
Latest incoming drawing register should be maintained at site
office with the details of
1. Drawing number
2. Revision
3. Date of receipt
4. Date of approval by consultant.
Based on this register Project Manager has to arrange the drawing
for site execution.
37. PT - Laying
Drawings to be thoroughly studied by Utracon team at site.
Clarifications are to be brought to the Utracon design team through project manager at site
Approved drawing / corresponding Engineering instructions are to be made available before
commencing the work at site.
Tendon spacing should be followed as per tendon layout drawing.
Duct joints are to be sealed well to avoid any ingress of concrete.
38. Based on tendon layout drg, the live and dead ends are to be fixed. If any
difficulties/deviations /obstructions ,it is to be brought to the notice of concerned Design
Engineer.
Ensure that the protruding strand length is sufficient for stressing ( min 350 – 400 mm)
Based on Tendon layout no. of strands to be
threaded into ducts.
Fix the grout vents.
39. Profiles need to be checked by PT team and finally verified /approved by PMC team.
PT Engineer should make sure that while checking the profiles, all the tendon support bars &
chairs are placed at specified intervals as per the drawings.
The tolerances of vertical profiles is ± 5mm for high and low points.
The tolerances for horizontal profiles are ± 150 mm.
Any openings / fixing of rebars ,etc. are to be provided ,the importance should be given to the
Profiles
40. Stressing
Before stressing PT Engineer has to check with the cube result with the main contractor
whether the slab has achieved the minimum cube strength as specified in design/drg.
Once concreting is completed ,the platform are to be arranged for
carrying out the stressing with the help of Main contractor.
Remove the block outs and clean the castings to fix the anchor blocks
for stressing activity
The theoretical elongation calculations must be approved by the consultant before stressing.
Fix the wedge plate and wedges.
25% of the stressing force shall be applied to the tendon to remove the slack in the strands.
spray mark should be made to strands.
41. Once the cube test result is made available by main contractor,
stressing can be started to initial stressing of 25% ,to remove slacks
Marking is to be done in strands before carrying out the 75% stressing
and elongation is to be measured This will reflect the strand’s
elongation form 25 % to 100% force.
Elongation shall be checked with measured reading in random after 24 hrs of final
stressing to confirm that there is no slippage of strands
The recess pockets left for the stressing shall be patched with cement mortar.
Stressing
42. Grouting
1. After consultant /PMC has approved the stressing result ,grouting can be started.
2. Before grouting the ducts shall be thoroughly cleaned by compressed air.
3. Grout mix shall be prepared in W/C ratio of 0.45 with workability additive of 0.2% of weight
of cement.
4. Inject grout from the tendons inlet hose and lock the
outlet hose
Lock the outlet hose when the pressure of 3 bars is achieved.

43. Do Before Concreting
1. After the Bottom mat completed. We start our work
2. We lay the tendon both horizontal and vertical then fix our castings.
3. After laying of tendons both directions and making the profiles then start the
tieing of top reinforcement
4. Side shuttering can made after fixing of our casting & backing.
5. Proper VIBRATIONS required at the time of concrete (At least at the place of
live ends & Dead ends).
Do after concreting
1. Curing properly then only we can achieve the concrete strength.
2. Side shuttering should be removed next day of the concrete.
3. If any honeycomb found immediately batch up with fosroc or rich mix depends
upon honeycomb at site condition.
Don’t Do
1. Don’t walk onto tendon Profile.
2. Don’t dump materials like Rebar’s, Shuttering materials onto tendon
3. Don’t disturb tendon profile.
4. After concrete anybody should not cut the grout hose at any reason.
5. At the time of stressing anybody should not stand behind the stressing jack.
6. Don’t remove shuttering before getting approval from engineer.
DO’s and DONT’s
44. Don'ts
1. Don’t place the strand on the ground. It has to be placed above the ground with wooden
packers to avoid contamination.
2. Don’t start tendon laying without checking the slab bottom reinforcement orientation and
cover.
45. 3. If you found any defect on the bulb of the strands, should be replaced with the new bulb.
4. Don’t allow the peoples to stepping on ducts.
6. Don’t commence the stressing without confirmation from main contractor on the required
cube result.
7. Don’t stand in front of the jack and look behind the jack while stressing in progress.
8. Don’t allow grouting without cleaning the ducts by using compressed air.
9. Don’t allow to do grounding if water cement ratio is more than 0.45
10. Ducts to be grouted using max pressure of 0.5 N/mm2 and not lower than 0.2N/mm2
11. Pressure should be duly controlled so as not to cause segregation of grout. Required
pressure to be maintained shall be 3 to 5 bars
