determination in accordance with ASTM C136/C136M and COE CRD-C 104 for the fine aggregate or for each fine
aggregate if it is batched in more than one size or classification. The location at which samples are taken may be selected
by the Contractor as the most advantageous for control. However, the Contractor is responsible for delivering fine
aggregate to the mixer within specification limits. When the amount passing on any sieve is outside the specification
limits, the fine aggregate shall be immediately resampled and retested. If there is another failure on any sieve, the fact
shall be immediately reported to Company, concreting shall be stopped, and immediate steps taken to correct the
grading.
3.14.1.2 Coarse Aggregate
Once during each shift in which the concrete plant is operating, there shall be a sieve analysis in accordance with ASTM
C136/C136M for each size of coarse aggregate. The location at which samples are taken may be selected by the
Contractor as the most advantageous for production control. However, the Contractor shall be responsible for
delivering the aggregate to the mixer within specification limits. A test record of samples of aggregate taken at the
same locations shall show the results of the current test as well as the average results of the five most recent tests
including the current test. The Contractor may adopt limits for control coarser than the specification limits for samples
taken other than as delivered to the mixer to allow for degradation during handling. When the amount passing any
sieve is outside the specification limits, the coarse aggregate shall be immediately resampled and retested. If the second
sample fails on any sieve, that fact shall be reported to Company. Where two consecutive averages of 5 tests are outside
specification limits, the operation shall be considered out of control and reported to Company, concreting shall be
stopped, and immediate steps shall be taken to correct the grading.
3.14.2 Concrete Sampling

batch (minimum) or every 16 cubic meters (maximum) of concrete.
3.14.3.2 Temperature Tests
Test the concrete delivered and the concrete in the forms. Perform tests in hot or cold weather conditions (below 10
degrees C and above 27 degrees C) for each batch (minimum) or every 16 cubic meters (maximum) of concrete, until
the specified temperature is obtained, and whenever test cubes and slump tests are made.
3.14.3.3 Compressive Strength Tests
BS EN 12390 Unless instructed otherwise by Company, make six 150 mm by 150 mm by 150 mm test cubes. Take
precautions to prevent evaporation and loss of water from the specimen. Test three cubes at 7 days and three cubes at
28 days. Take samples for strength tests of each mix design for concrete placed each day not less than once a day, nor
less than once for each 50 cubic meters of concrete. Each strength test result must be the average of three cubes from
the same concrete sample tested at 28 days. Concrete compressive tests must meet the requirements of this section,
the Contract Document, and ACI 301. Where test results do not meet concrete compressive strength requirements
submit a mitigation or remediation plan for review and approval by Company. If concrete cores are taken, repair core
holes with non-shrink grout to match color and finish of adjacent concrete.
Exhibit C
RIG-018-005-000-CIV-SP-001 Rev.: 0

c. Concrete which differs from required dimensions or location in such a manner as to reduce strength.
d. Concrete curing and protection of concrete against extremes of temperature during curing, not conforming to
requirements specified.
e. Concrete subjected to damaging mechanical disturbances, particularly load stresses, heavy shock, and
excessive vibration.
f. Poor workmanship likely to result in deficient strength.
Where the strength of the concrete structure is considered deficient submit a mitigation or remediation plan for review
and approval by Company.
3.14.3.7 Non-Conforming Materials
Factors that indicate that there are non-conforming materials include (but are not limited to) excessive compressive
strength, inadequate compressive strength, excessive slump, excessive voids and honeycombing, concrete delivery
records that indicate excessive time between mixing and placement, or excessive water was added to the mixture during
delivery and placement. Any of these indicators alone are sufficient reason for Company to request additional sampling
and testing.
Investigations into non-conforming materials must be conducted at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor must be
responsible for the investigation and must make written recommendations to adequately mitigate or remediate the
non-conforming material. Company may accept, accept with reduced payment, require mitigation, or require removal
and replacement of non-conforming material at no additional cost to Company.

are non-conforming materials, the in-place concrete shall be tested as directed by Company.
3.15 REPAIR, REHABILITATION AND REMOVAL

Before Company accepts the structure, the Contractor must inspect the structure for cracks, damage and substandard
concrete placements that may adversely affect the service life of the structure. A report documenting these defects
must be prepared which includes recommendations for repair, removal or remediation must be submitted to Company
for approval before any corrective work is accomplished.
3.15.1 Crack Repair
Prior to final acceptance, all cracks in excess of 0.50 mm wide must be documented and repaired. The proposed method
and materials to repair the cracks must be submitted to Company for approval. The proposal must address the amount
of movement expected in the crack due to temperature changes and loading.
3.15.2 Repair of Weak Surfaces
Weak surfaces are defined as mortar-rich, rain-damaged, uncured, or containing exposed voids or deleterious materials.
Concrete surfaces with weak surfaces less than 6 mm thick must be diamond ground to remove the weak surface.
Surfaces containing weak surfaces greater than 6 mm thick must be removed and replaced or mitigated in a manner
acceptable to Company.
