Construction Method of Statement

1.0 Temporary Works

In temporary works including a few work as below:

a. Earth Work
b. Temporary hording/ Fence
c. Tyre washing bay

1.1 Earth work

In this project minimum earthwork is required to prepare the road platform of the road.
Temporary earth drain is ready to control rain water flow in site and divert the flow to the
proper discharge.

Besides, silt trap using aggregate to reduce the velocity of water flow and retaining the soil
flow to out construction site. This is reduce pollution on the water. The silt trap need to check
and maintain every week to ensure that it is well function.

1.2 Temporary hording/ Fence

Temporary hoarding is proposed as per site management plan. The timber plank is used
for as the column at spacing 1.5m and close by steel sheet with thickness 0.35mm. Signboard
no entry and safety awareness is provided at entrance of the gate.This will reduce prevent
passages KTM enter site construction.

In this project, there is provided 2 gate. The function of the first gate that near main road
is control outsider to enter to MRCB site office. Meanwhile, for the second gate is control
outsider enter to construction site.
1.3 Tyre washing bay

For the tyre washing bay is constructed by compact the hardcore and finish with lead
concrete. At the perimeter of the washing bay will provide a cut off drain to control and divert
the flow to the nearby earthdrain. Two high pressure pump is standby for washing tyre before
the lorry was left construction site.

2.0 Piling Works

Before piling work started, the storage to place pile need to be ready the location has been
shown in the site management plan. The method of piling used injection to drive the pile. The
surrounding and environment survey is conducted before piling works is conducted.

In this project, the pile size using is 250x250 reinforced concrete pile. Total number of pile
use is only 24 pile with mix of pile length of 12m and 6m and total piling length is 30m. Each
working load capacity pile need to achieve is 65 ton. The equipment pressure used is robot type
with maximum pressure 200 ton.

In this project, side jacking for pile is required since the utility building is near to the
railway KTM. Besides, for the pile broken during pile work additional pile at the side of the
pile will add on and the pile cap will be enlarge.

The test for the piling is using PDA as state in BQ with total number of two point only.
The final as-built plan for the pile is plotted out after piling work is completed.
3.0 Reinforcement Concrete Works

3.1 Pile cap

After piling work has been completed, the excessive pile will be hack off. The rebar is cut
and bend according to the construction drawing. Lean concrete will be construct as per the
drawing before putting the rebar on the pile. The timber formwork is cut to the size of the pile
cap and place it accordingly. The reinforcement stump is place prior casting pile cap. All the
arrangement is according to the construction drawing provided by engineer.

Before casting the pile cap, engineer is invited to inspect on the pile cap that have been
constructed. On the casting day, slump test need to be check for the workability of the concrete
before pouring the concrete. Conctete Cube need to prepare for the concrete strenght test.

Formwork is de-mould 1 day after casting and earth will be will up surrounding the pipe
cap for the next construction job.

3.2 Ground beam & Slab

The leveling of the platform need to carry out before construct the ground beam and slab.

Rebar is cut and bend according to the construction drawing and specification that
provided by engineer. Brick with cement morta used as formwork and construct according to
the size of the beam After that hardcore is lay and compated up to the required level and lean
concrete is casting on above the hardcore as the base of the slab. All rebar and reinforcement
that have been ready is place inside the formwork.

Before casting the structure, engineer is invited to inspect on the ground beam and slab
that have been constructed. On the casting day, slump test need to be check for the workability
of the concrete before pouring the concrete. Conctete Cube need to prepare for the concrete
strenght test.

Formwork is de-mould 3 days after casting but the super-structure work will be constructed
1 day after casting.
3.3 Super-Structure

3.3.1 Structure Work

Reinforcement of column is cut and bend according to the drawing. The location of the
column is mark on the ground slab that have been casted. After that the reinforcement is place
on the marked location and engineer is invited to inspect the reinforcement. Timber formwork
of the column will be close up the reinforcement and level its verticality.

On the casting day, slump test need to be check for the workability of the concrete before
pouring the concrete. Conctete Cube need to prepare for the concrete strenght test. Formwork
is de-mould 3 days after casting but the formwork for roof beam and slab will be constructed
1 day after casting.

After formwork for roof beam and slab was finish assemble. Reinforcement of roof beam
and is cut, bend place according to the drawing. Before casting the structure, engineer is invited
to inspect on the roof beam and slab that have been constructed.

On the casting day, slump test need to be check for the workability of the concrete before

3.3.3 Plastering Work

3.3.3.1 Materials for Application

1. Portland Cement
2. Sand Aggregate.
3. Plastering Accessories: Metal Lath, angle beads, special pieces for internal angles and
corner.

3.3.3.1 Preparation

A. Clean the surface and remove any dust, contaminated materials on plaster bases and
substrates for direct application of plaster, removing loose material and substances that may
impair the work. Form ties and other obstruction shall be removed or trimmed back even with
the surface of the solid base.

B. Dissimilar Backgrounds: where rendering is to be continued without break across joints

between dissimilar solid backgrounds which are in the same plane, cover joints with 200mm
wide galvanized steel lathing as specified & approved fixed with corrosion resistant fasteners
at not more than 600mm centers along both edges, apply mesh over electro-mechanical
embedded conduits.

C. Apply forcefully dash coat on concrete and concrete masonry surfaces indicated for direct
plaster application. Dash coat is to cover full surface to be plastered and is to provide rough
surface of sharp protrusions ranging 3.0mm and 5.0mm. Dash-Coat Mix: 2 volume parts
Portland cement to 3 volume parts fine sand, 1 part bonding agent to 3 part clean water mixed
to a mushy-paste consistency shall be left untroweled, undisturbed and moist cured for at least
24 hours after application and before plastering.

D. Install temporary grounds and screeds to ensure accurate rodding of plaster to true surfaces.
Check the straightness in each corner and add grout to hold the external corner beads in correct
and internal position to be fixed using corrosion resistant fasteners.
E. Before plastering starts, dampen, by spraying water concrete dash coat surfaces that are to
receive plaster with clean water.

3.3.3.3 Application

A. All plaster shall be prepared in a mechanical mixer mix 1:5 (1 part cement and 5 part sand)
using sufficient water to produce a workable consistency. Mix fiber 0.6 kg/m3 of the mortar or
plaster by first mixing with some water (30%). After all the ingredients have been added
including the remaining mixing water, the plaster should be mixed for a further few minutes
until uniform fibre dispersion. Plaster not used within 1.5h from start of mixing shall be
discarded.

B. The second coat shall be applied with sufficient material and pressure to ensure tight contact
with dash coat.

C. The surface of the second coat shall be brought to a true, even plane with a rod or
straightedge, filling surface defects in place with plaster.

D. Applied plaster shall be floated as smooth as possible and then steel-troweled. Steel
troweling shall be delayed as long as possible and used only to eliminate the uneven points and
to force aggregate particles into the plaster surface.

E. Each plaster coat shall be applied to an entire wall or ceiling panel without interruption to
avoid cold joints and abrupt changes in the uniform appearance of succeeding coats. Wet
plaster shall abut set plaster at naturally occurring interruptions in the plane of the plaster, such
as corner angles, openings and control joints where this is possible.

F. Make internal angles and corners square.

G. Finished grooves shall be neat, of uniform width and depth, sharp straight edges and exact
vertical and horizontal lines. Elevation grooves shall be cut before plaster sets by using molded
guide or wooden strip and fixing it in temporary grout and screed. Regarding recessed, follow
the procedures same as grooves.
H. Form cornices by plastering additional coats against pre-formed wood templates fixed onto
plastered elevation. Make form wood templates to shapes, dimensions and projection indicated
on drawings. Apply additional under coats in thickness not more that 10mm until obtaining
required projection. Final finishes refer to item D.

I. Plaster should not deviate more than plus or minus 3mm in 3m from a true plane in finished
plaster surfaces, as measured by a 3-m straight edge placed in any location on surface.

3.3.3.4 Curing

A. Provide sufficient moisture in the plaster by spraying water as frequently as required at least
twice per day.

3.3.3.5 Cutting and Batching

A. Cut, patch, replace, repair and point up plaster as necessary to accommodate other work.
Repair cracks and indented surfaces. Repair work to eliminate blisters, buckles, check cracking,
and dry out as necessary to comply with visual effects.

B. To correct inaccuracies, dubbed out in thickness of not more than 10mm in same mix as
base coat and total thickness of dubbing must not exceed 25mm unless otherwise approved. In
areas where thickness is more than 20mm, apply dashkeying mix before adding new layer.

C. To correct inaccuracies in beam, column together with block work, chip carefully the
concrete structures by using hammer and chisel to receive dash coat (follow the procedure in
1.C). For 25mm thick plaster repair apply it one time as per 2.B. For 45mm thick, apply 20mm
first coat and apply keying mix before adding the new layer. Each layer must not exceed 10
mm, start again same as from 1C.
