1. GENERAL
This document covers the procedure to estabilish a method statement for all concreting
activities.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to follow proper methodology and to construct the
concrete structure (i.e. ground floor column right up to roof beam inclusive of R.C
Staircase) according to the construction drawing.
3. SCOPE
The scope of the work method statement is to outline the procedure and work sequence for
all concreting activities and documentation procedures. This Works Method details the
followings:
4.2 Tools
4.2.1 Wheelbarrows
4.2.2 Wire brush
4.2.3 Angle grinder
4.2.4 Measuring tapes
4.2.5 Other handy tools.
5. METHODOLOGY
5.1 Delivery, storage, handling and protection of materials at site
All formwork and rebar should be transported to site by means of lorry and
unloaded appropriately using a mobile crane. They shall be stored in a
proper stockyard allocated at site. Similarly for aluminium formwork, care
should be taken to ensure that the formwork are properly stacked up as to
avoid damages or dented to the edges or surface of the formwork.
Methods of sampling and testing of materials for concrete shall be as laid
down in the latest edition of the relevant British Standards Frequency of
testing shall be as set out hereunder. All costs associated with testing of
materials shall be borne by the Contractor.
Get surveyor to set out the gridline for each R.C. frame to be constructed
before casting (ie from ground floor column right up to roof beam inclusive of
R.C. Staircase)
a) Roofing work
b) Window and steel door works
c) External and infrastructure work
c) Construction joint must be straight, truly vertical formed in the exact position
shown on drawings. For those not specified, construction joint should be well
planned against concrete delivery. Carpenters must be standby during concreting
in case temporary stop ends, correction of shuttering and any other contingencies.
d) Avoid having construction joints or temporary stops end at those area need absolute water
tightness for example bath area.
e) Check the verticality of every columns formwork. Be very sure that the formwork are
sufficiently and correctly framed, cramped, and braced so that the columns cast area as
vertical as the formwork before casting. Check the orientation of timber yokes to ensure
forms can be able to resist concrete pressure from both directions.
f) All beams / slabs formwork must be leveled properly with reference to the datum marked
at every column after columns formwork removed. Check every slabs and beams soffit
level before and after casting. Quick check can be done by marking on the casted
columns.
g) Opening for plumbing check to baseline must be provided at each floor. Baseline must be
transferred to upper floor columns etc. before upper floor works can be proceed.
a) Upon receipt of steel (round steel bars, deformed bars and welded mesh fabric).
Make sure that it is of the specified type, quantity and grades shown. The bars
should have mill tags identifying in the batch number, mill test result should be
accompanying the D.Os.
b) Steel reinforcement should be stored in clean conditions. It shall be clean and free
from loose rust and loose scale at time of fixing in position and subsequently
concreting.
i) The bars are the required numbers, size and shape and have been placed
within the allowable tolerances.
ii) Spices should have the required lap and must not located at points of
maximum tensile stress.
iv) The specified cover of concrete for the steel bars is being obtained.
5.0 Concrete.
a) All mixing of concrete materials shall be carried out in a mechanically operated mixer complying
with B.S. 1305 Batch Type Concrete Mixers except in an emergency when hand methods may
be employed as approved by the S.O. The mixer shall be of a type which will ensure an uniform
distribution of materials throughout the mass.
b) The mixer shall be of such capacity that one or more whole bags of cement may be used in the
batch. The volume of he mixed material shall not exceed the makers rated capacity for the
mixer.
c) The mixing time shall be measured from the time when all the materials are in the mixer drum.
The minimum time of mixing shall be one and one half minutes for mixers of one (1) cubic yard
or less capacity shall have mixing time increased by fifteen (15) seconds for each additional half
cubic yard capacity or part thereof.
d) The drum shall rotate at a peripheral speed of approximately two hundred (200) feet per minute
at a point on the widest section of the drum, or at a speed of twelve (12) c.p.m. whichever is the
slower.
e) The first batch shall contain an excess of cement, sand and water sufficient to coat the inside of
the mixer without reducing the mortar content of the mix below that required.
f) The remixing with or without further addition of water, cement or aggregates, of concrete which
has partially hardened shall not be permitted.
The proportions of the mix as specified in the table above are expected to produce works cube
strengths in excess of the requirements of this specification and a workability sufficient to ensure the
concrete being workable and fully compacted
a) Shall be inspected by COW and if the defect is not serious grouting cement shall
be use and the grouting material must be approved by Engineer.
b) If the defect is too serious the defect area shall be hack off which confirm by COW
and Engineer and reconstruct the above defect area.
In order to ensure the quality of honeycomb concrete repair works meet the
requirement, inspection and test shall be carried out as per the Project Quality
Plan (PQP).
