Issued by
Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla

About this file

This solicitation package outlines a concrete rehabilitation project for McNary Lock and Dam. The scope of work involves determining the reinforcement and concrete quantities needed to enlarge 48 existing support beams underneath the intake deck. The beams support an embedded rail system for a 140-ton gantry crane. Work will utilize form and pump placement, where positive pressure is maintained during curing to bond the new and existing concrete. The solicitation was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Walla Walla District for the McNary Powerhouse Intake Deck Concrete Beam Rehabilitation project number W912EF21B0015. Technical specifications and drawings are provided to guide the concrete section enlargement using form and pump methodology, surface preparation, reinforcement installation, and quality control requirements.

FORM AND PUMP PLACEMENT

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This specification provides the minimum requirements for concrete beam section enlargement utilizing the "Form and Pump" method of concrete placement. The contractor shall furnish all materials, tools, equipment, transportation, necessary storage, access, labor and supervision required for all structural strengthening work using Form and Pump concrete enlargement for the McNary Powerhouse Intake Deck Concrete Beam Rehabilitation.

The following specification sections contain additional requirements for the concrete section enlargement items being designed by the Contractor:

SECTION 03 01 00.01 28 CONCRETE SECTION ENLARGEMENT

SECTION 03 30 00.00 28 SELF-CONSOLIDATING CONCRETE (SCC)

SECTION 03 60 00.01 28 CONCRETE DRILLING AND PATCHING

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Form and Pump

Form and Pump as used in this specification refers to the placement of the concrete into a closed form with high performance self-consolidating concrete (SCC) pumped under pressure. Formwork pressurization improves the bond between the new and existing concrete, provides adequate consolidation of concrete around newly placed rebar, and ensures complete filling of the formwork.

1.2.2 Delamination

A planar separation in a material that is roughly parallel to the surface of the material.

1.2.3 Rehabilitation

Repairing or modifying an existing structure to a desired useful condition.

1.2.4 Repair

The reconstruction or renewal of concrete parts of an existing structure for its maintenance or to correct deterioration, damage, or faulty construction of members or systems of a structure.

1.2.5 Termination Joint

The interface where a placement of repair material meets existing concrete, the edge of an expansion joint, or other existing surfaces.

SECTION 03 01 00.02 28

1.2.6 Unsound Concrete

Concrete that is fractured, delaminated, spalled, deteriorated, defective, contaminated or otherwise damaged.
