Post Requirement
Cement plays a necessary part in the construction of any structure. It is a climate-sensitive material, so it has to be stored, transported and handled carefully to preserve its quality and fineness.
Cement should be stored in suitably constructed sheds which can be a cool-dry and well-ventilated place. The material should be placed away from the moisture and direct contact from the sun.
• While placing the bags, please ensure the room or shed interior is completely dried.
• Avoid penetration of moisture by placing the cement bags above the ground level of 15-20 cms using wooden planks.
• A minimum space of 40 cms should be kept between the cement bags and the wall.
• The maximum height of the stack should not be more than 15 bags, and the width is up to 4 bags.
• If the stack is more than 8 bags high, then the cement bags shall be arranged alternately length and crosswise i.e. header and stretcher method.
• Cement bags should be kept close to each other in the stack to reduce air circulation between them.
During monsoon, the stack should be kept complete enclosed by a waterproofing membrane to protect the cement from dampness and moisture. We can use waterproofing membrane such as a polyethylene sheet to cover the top of the sack and handle with care to avoid any damages during the use.
Accumulation of water on the ground should be avoided and protect the floor from damping by draining away the rainwater.
Hooks shall not be used while moving the bags from one place to another. Ensure that cement bags are not dropped or split while carrying them. Workers must cover their hands and face and use skin protection while handling cement.
The cement bags should be deposited flat on their broadsides down to avoid damage of packaging.
The strength of the cement depreciates with time, so when bags are required to use always use the oldest stock first. The stack of cement bags should be stored according to the manufacture's date to make the process easy.
