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
