TENDER No. CP30/TU01 Employer’s Requirements
(12) Inspection & Testing
Every bar shall be inspected by the Contractor before assembling on the Works and any defective, brittle, rusted or burnt bars shall be removed. Cracked ends of bars shall be cut out. Reinforcement steel shall be fresh, free from corrosion. Corroded steel will not be incorporated into the Work. If there are traces of corrosion, then the Contractor have to give the following treatment to steel. · Cleaning of steel by wire brush for removal of dust and rust. No work shall be commenced without the Engineer’s Notice of No Objection. Manufacturer's Certificate shall be supplied for each lot of supply. Specimens sufficient for three Tensile Tests for each different size of bar for each consignment delivered shall be sampled and tested by the Contractor. Batches shall be rejected if the average results of each batch are not in accordance with the specifications and shall be removed from Site, without delay. All manufacturer's test certificates, batch reference labels and quality control certificates shall be retained by the Contractor and noted against each bar mark number at the time of cutting and bending. This information shall be submitted to the Engineer. (13) Coupler Specifications Only cold-forged, parallel threaded mechanical coupler system are recommended. All mechanical couplers shall be of Type 2 (or Class H as specified in IS-16172) and should be simple to install and which can be confirmed by quick visual inspection to have been correctly installed and to have achieved the required full strength connection. Any other types of mechanical coupler systems are not permitted provided the same meet the specification indicated in Appendix – B.
