covered with not less than mm and not more than mm of elastomer Bearing Installation The bearings shall be clearly marked with their longitudinal and transverse axes, their type number and their intended locations in the Works Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer bearing beds shall be of non shrink grout conforming to ASTM C1107, Grade A Proposals for the thickness and type of bearing plinths and beds shall be submitted by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in advance of bearing installation Bearings shall not be dismantled Any transit bolts, straps or other temporary fixing shall not be removed until the bearing is fixed in its final position and the structure immediately above the bearing is in place Care shall be taken to ensure that all transit bolts, straps or other temporary fixings are finally removed All bearings shall be set horizontal in both directions and shall be positioned so that the inscribed longitudinal axis is parallel to the structure axis at the point of support, unless otherwise noted on the Drawings Any devices such as steel packs used to hold bearings level whilst being fixed, must be removed so that the bearing seats only on its

workmanlike manner to keep out water and protect against corrosion Neoprene surfaces in contact with sealant shall be buffed at the plant or wire brushed prior to installation to provide a bonding surface for the sealant Prior to filling the space in the bolt wells, the Engineer shall inspect the anchor bolts and check the tightening of the nuts to the manufacturer’s specified torque Any wells sealed without the Engineer’s approval shall be opened and resealed after approval at the Contractor’s expense The expansion joint shall be installed after completion of the final layer of the pavement to ensure an even joint, true to line and level, between the expansion joint and the pavement 34/ 35 PHUONG THANH TRANCONSIN – CIENCO6 – CIENCO8 – THANH PHAT JV CIVIL WORKS CONTRACT PACKAGE
