Forms shall be built to provide a neat and workmanlike finished job. <br />The forms shall be mortar -tight and of sufficient Strength material to <br />prevent any bulging or sagging from true line and grade and to <br />withstand vibrating. Any form ties shall be removed to a depth of at <br />least 1 1/2 inches, the holes reamed out large enough to be adequately <br />patched and the hole filled with sand cement mortar. <br />8, PLACEMENT AND INSPECTION <br />A.

No concrete will be placed prior to completion of the form <br />work and placing of the reinforcing to the Engineer's satisfaction. No <br />concrete shall be placed unless an adequate vibrator and adequate <br />provisions for curing are on hand. Concrete test cylinders will be <br />made by the Engineer's representative at random and at any time <br />there is doubt about the quality of the concrete. Failure of the concrete <br />to come up to design strength will be cause for rejection and replacement <br />of the structure. <br />B. Every effort shall be made to obtain a water tight and durable concrete <br />free from voids, rock pockets and the like. Should defects occur, they will <br />be called to the Engineer's attention and repaired in accordance witty his <br />directive or, if extensive replaced, <br />C.
