Common use of Storage Clause in Contracts

Storage. Aggregate shall be stacked in such a way as to prevent the intrusion of any foreign materials such as soil, rubbish, vegetation etc. Heaps of fine and coarse aggregate shall be kept separate. When different sizes of fine and coarse aggregates are procured separately, they shall be stored in separate stock-piles, so that they do not get intermixed. The aggregate shall be stock piled near to the mixer site/B&M plant so as to require minimum re- handling when conveyed to the mixer. The aggregate shall be placed on a dry hard patch of ground if available, otherwise a platform or plain galvanized iron sheets or alter natively a floor of dry bricks shall be prepared, or a floor of thin layer of lean concrete. To minimize moisture variations the stock piles shall be as large in area as possible but left low and fairly uniform in height preferably 1.25 to 1.5 m and the lowest layer of about 30cm height shall be allowed to act as drainage layer and not be used till the end.
