. The stone shall be wetted qefore laying. They: shall then be fixed with mortar in position without the use of chips or under pinning of any sort. Care shall be taken to match the' grah"1S of veneer work as directed by the EngiI1ecr-in-Charge. For purpose of matching the grains, the marble slabs shall be selected judiciously having uniform pattern of veins/streaks. Preferably the slabs shall be those got out of the same block from th~. quarry.~The area to be venee~ed ground and the shall toe reproduced on t..l-}e marble slabs laid in position and arranged in the manner to give the desired matchirig of gr?ins. Any adjustment needed for achieving the best results shall, be then carried out by replacing orh,terchanging the particular slabs. Special care shall be take~ to achieve the continuity of grains between the two slabs one above the other along, the ,horizontal joints. This .shall then be got along the hOI1zontal joints. This shall then be got approved by the Engineer-in-Charge and each marble slabe numbered properl~ and the same number shall, be marked on a separate drm;ving as well as on the surface to be actually yeneered, so as to ensure the fixing of, the particular slabs in the correct location. For the facing of the columns also the same procedure' as' mentioned above shall be followed. 8.6.2.1 Where so desired, the adjoining stones shall be secured .to each other by means of copper pins 75mm long and 6mm diameter or as spe~~fied. 8.6.2.2 Futher the stones shall be .secured to the backing by m~ans,of cramps. The material for' cramps shall have high resis-' tanceto corosion Under conditions of dampness and against the chemical action of mortar or concrete in which cramps 'are usually embedded.

Unless and otherwise specified in the nomenclature of the item, the marble slabs used for wall lining/veneer work shall conform to dimensions giv~n in table 1 above. 8.6.1 Dressing:

Dressing shall be same as specified in 8.5.1 except that the back shall not be dressed, but left rought cut, in. order to ensure a good grip with the hearting of backing. The dressed slabs shall be of 'the. thickness as specified with a tolerance pennissibleun.der para 8.2 above. The tolerance in wall lining when straight edge of 3m length is placed ~should not be more than 2mm.
