1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Work Method Statement for Painting of Building is to outline and
describe in detail the procedure to be adopted such as type of paint and recommended
surface preparation, in which to ensure our compliance with the Safety Requirements &
Procedure and project specifications. Inform all concerned supervisor including workers
the value and importance of this activity prior to implementation in any Project.
2. SCOPE
The scope of this Method Statement covers the works in any Project (Building and
Substation) including buildings in existing plant as follows:
Painting Works for Exterior Walls, Interior Walls, Concrete Floor, Exposed
Ceiling/Slab Soffit, Cable Room and Below Raised Floor

3. STEP OF WORKS
3.1 Surface Preparation
Surfaces are to be prepared in accordance with good painting practices and in
accordance with the technical product information sheets of the painting products.
Painting must not take place where the surface are moist or greasy or may become
so before application of the first coat of paint (primer).
Painting must not take place when the surface temperature is less than 3C above
surrounding airs dew point, when the air relative humidity is higher than 85% and when
the temperature is below 5 C.
Prior to any application, the surface must be stable, firm, dry and free of dust and
concrete laitance. The surface must have no cracks.

3.2 Scaffolding and work at heights

Please refer to WMS for Scaffolding Installation.

3.3 Preparation of Coating Materials

All coating materials shall be thoroughly stirred in a container. Only approved
thinners shall be used. Mixing shall be carried out in a well ventilated area. Refer to
Product Data and Specification Sheet for Mixing Ratio.

During Mixing and Painting Application, appropriate mask shall be worn in

accordance with the recommendation of approved MSDS. MSDS shall be available at
site and made known to workers.
3.4 Coating
Each coat shall be applied uniformly over the entire surface. Any uneven surface
shall be rectified by filling up using approved Acrylic Filler, then apply sanding when dry

and apply recoat. On beams, columns and irregular surfaces, edges shall be coated first
and an extra pass made later.
Each coat shall be allowed to dry for the time specified by approved before
application of any succeeding coat. Refer to Product Data and Specification also to
check Applicable Rate and Dry Film Thickness (DFT).
Any primer coat exposed to excess humidity or rain before drying shall be permitted
to dry and the damaged area of primer should be removed to the bare substrate. Dust
and loose particle shall be removed by sanding until the surface is dry, sound and
cleaned. Re-apply using the same primer and when dry apply paint filler to check for flat
and smooth surfaces. When the surface is ready to receive topcoat then applied the
required coating to meet DFT and specifications.
The time interval between applications of two (2) successive coats must not exceed
that specified by product. Any coating shall be cleaned and free of spray dust before the
next coat is applied.
Coatings shall be continuous that means free of pin holes, voids, bubbles and other
defects.
Where application is to be carried out by brush, brushes shall be of a type and
quality as well as for using roller which permit proper application of the material.
For spray application, spray guns, hoses and pumps shall be cleaned before new
material is added. An adequate moisture trap shall be installed between the air supply
and each application unit.
Specified film thickness for coating material shall be strictly observed. Dry film
thickness shall be checked with appropriate film thickness gauges.
Before application of final coat, all damaged areas shall be properly repaired using
the original paint system.
Apply Acrylic Protective Paint for exterior wall and use Acrylic Emulsion Resin for
interior wall
