The method statement is to lay down a systematic procedure for the requested
activities of the formwork to ensure that the formwork work must be performed in
accordance with the latest drawings. Method statements include general procedures
to be followed for the installation of formwork on foundations, shear wall, columns,
beams, girder and slab. It shall be submitted and approved by R.E. before starting
work.

1.1.3. Change- Doubt-Consultation

When constructing the construction, if it is not specified in the design book, it seems
to be important in matters other than the description.
If problems arise, report them to supervisors and consult and consent to construct.
When not specified in the design books, in the case where there is a difference, in
principle, it is based on instructions from the supervisor.

b. In disassembling the form, work shall be done after discussing dismantling range
work procedures etc before starting work.
c. When disassembling the mold, instruct them to perform dismantling work so as not to
give impact or damage to the concrete by dropping the disassembled material.
d. In principle, we will not change the support plan.
7.2.2. Striking the Formwork:
e. Always have the approval of the Consultant before the striking formwork
f. Be careful when striking formwork and always use safety tools
g. Be careful and slowly when striking formwork, do not be broken and put in a safe
place if the condition of the formwork can still be used again

8. Safety procedure

The all fabrication of formwork according with the JICA safety plan:

Kay points for the formwork

8.1.1. At the time of fabrication of forms

The contractor shall be
a. Always arrange materials and tools in an orderly manner at form fabrication
worksshops
b. Always inspect machinery and tools used to fabricate forms, ensure the safety
davice functions properly prior to use.
c. Take meansures to ensure that no unauthorized workers have access to the form
fabricate forms worksop.
d. Ensure that two workers have access to the form fabrication worksop.
e. Take meansures to prevent cargo collapse or scattering when storing form
materialis or fabricate forms.
f. Ensure that fabricated forms are free of protrusions such as nails

8.1.2. At the time of assembly of forms

a. When there is a risk of workers being injured by renforcing bars, etc. after
triping or falling, the contractor shall take security menasure such as covering
of reinforcing bars with protective sheets before performing the assembly
works.
b. Form assembly places shall always be kept in order
c. Menasure of no-entry of unautorized workers shall be taken
d. Where works is undertaken at a place more tham two meters above ground level,
the contractor shall construct scaffolding prior to the commencement of work.
Where it is impossible to contrucct scaffolding, workers shall use protective
gear to prevent falls, such as safety belts or fall arrestors when conducting the
works. Where safety belts are used, the contractor shall affix appropriate
aquipment to connect the belts.
e. Once reinforcement fabricated, the contractor shall not use rebars as access
platforms or working floors.

Method Statement (Formwork)

f. All garbage and the rest of the rebar/ hollow that will not use again will be
gathered and throw it into the Disposal Area (Waste Material)
g. The contractor shall ensure that heavy or big forms are handled by not a single
worker but by two or more workers.
h. The contractor shall firmly affix assembled form so as to prevent their collapse
by wing or vibration
i. Before Installation of Formwork should be cleaned And brush by oil Formwork
j. And after the removed formwork, which can be used again must clean the
concrete attached to the surface and the brush again formwork oil, use it again
in the same place

8.1.3. At the time of dismantle of forms

The contractor shall be:
a. Not use the outsides of the assmbled reiforcing bars or forms as access platforms
or working floors
b. Suspend works in case of danger caused by bad weather such as strong wing or
raintorms
c. Not dismantle form shoring system before the prescrbed strength of concrete is
ascertined.

9. Site Inspection Plan

a. The exact date and time of form inspection prior to concrete placement or form
closing will be informed to as early as possible. However, because of very tight
schedule of the whole project, timing of inspection needs to be flexible.
b. An approved formwork checklist attached will be provided to inspect the form
erection. This sheet will be filled by the staff who is not only performs the
internal inspection but also attends the inspection by contractor.
