Method Statement - Concreting Work

This method statement outlines the structural concrete work for a construction project. It describes the materials and equipment used, safety requirements, formwork procedures, work methodology, risk assessment, and conclusion. The key steps include erecting scaffolding and formwork according to design, placing reinforcement bars and mesh, inspecting formwork, pouring and compacting concrete, and curing. Personal protective equipment like hard hats and safety harnesses are required during erection and concrete work.

METHOD STATEMENT STRUCTURAL CONCRETE WORK


INTRODUCTION Concrete is composed of cement, sand, aggregate (sized stone), and water. When mixed in the correct amounts, concrete is a stable and versatile building medium which can be used in a variety of applications ranging from roads, bridges and buildings, to septic tanks and even countertops for household use. The versatility in building application is accomplished by altering the proportions of air and other variables in the mixture. Strengthening materials such as re-bar, fiberglass strands, and plastic rods are then added. OBJECTIVE Method on how the concreting works are carried out safely. PLANT, MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT Tower Crane / Mobile Crane, Concrete Pumps, Concreting Buckets, Vibrators, Wheelbarrows, etc. as applicable SAFETY REQUIREMENT The following personal protective equipments (PPE) are required: 1. Hard Hats 2. Rubber hand gloves 3. Rubber water boots 4. Safety Goggles 5. Safety Harness Applicable to working at height FORMWORK Formwork is the surface, supports and framing used to define the shape of concrete until the concrete is self-supporting. It includes the forms on which the concrete is poured, the supports to withstand the loads imposed by the forms and the concrete and any bracing added to ensure stability. WHEN USING CONCRETE FORMWORK 1. Certification of design must be provided by suitably qualified person (PE Practicing Engineer) 2. All framing must be completed so it complies with on site design documentation and manufacturers requirement. 3. Erection of formwork scaffold supports must be supervised by competent scaffolder registered with DOSH (Department of Occupational Safety and Health)

PREPARATORY WORKS 1. Request for design mix based on the concrete grades specified on the structural drawings. 2. Submit the proposed design mix to client / clients representative for approval. 3. Carry out trial-mix of the design mix under the supervision of clients representative. 4. Prepare and conduct concrete test cube testing under the supervision of clients representative to determine the concrete design strength. Submit the results for approval. WORK METHODOLOGY This is a generic Work Method Statement. All works beyond the scope of this WMS shall be subject to a Job-Specific Job Safety Analysis (JSA). All construction workers engaged in the concrete pouring shall be inducted into the job-specific JSA. 1. Erection of scaffold supports for formworks supervised by a competent scaffolder in accordance with PEs design. All scaffold components supplied must be SIRIM approved. 2. Lay framings for beams and floor slabs as per PEs design. Ensure all framing timbers are of specified size in good condition free from defects. 3. As the floor installation is proceeding, it is imperative that the electrician follows closely behind, to install the various conduits/wiring. All conduits and similar service installations are to be placed under the top chord bar of the lattice.beam girder to ensure sufficient cover to the mesh reinforcement. Similarly, the plumber should be on-site to locate his service penetrations and fire collars, which should fall within the area of the void formers. 4. The specified mesh reinforcement is placed over and tied securely. 5. Reinforcing mesh fabric shall be lapped two (2) traverse wires Plus 50mm. and spacer chairs to be used in between layers of mesh. 6. After all reinforcement re-bars and mesh are placed and tied in accordance with design drawing and prior to concrete pouring, the formwork is given a final blowing and cleaning out the dirt and scraps. 7. Submit request for inspection of structural members with client / clients representative prior to concreting works using Structural Work (Reinforcement / Concrete) Inspection Checklist and Inspection and Test Plan. 8. Final inspections of formwork scaffold supports and props to be carried out and certified by competent person.

9. After approval sought, formwork is ready to receive concrete pouring. Pour the concrete on designated locations using concrete pumps and / or crane assisted concrete buckets. 10. Pour concrete from the lowest point to the final concrete level in one operation in horizontal layers. 11. Compact concrete by mechanical vibrators. Ensure that concrete is worked into corners of the structural members. 12. After the concrete has set, carry out curing works by applying curing compound. RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION During Erection of Formwork Scaffold Support 1. Falling Object Wear hard hat. 2. Fall from height Wear safety harness and proper working platform. 3. Human Error - Training and Safe Operating Procedure. During Formwork Framing and Decking 1. Fall from height Wear edge restrain safety harness and erect barricades. 2. Trip and Fall carry out regular housekeeping During Concrete Pouring 1. Chemical Contact Wear rubber hand gloves ,rubber boots and safety goggle 2. Hit by concrete bucket Safe Hoisting Procedure 3. Failure of Support site surveillance and monitoring.
