\u2022 Company QA\/QC Engineer for the site will take responsibility for implementing the QA\/QC Work as spelled out in the quality plan.<\/p>\n
9. Methodology<\/h3>\n9.1 Before Installation<\/h4>\n
9.1.1 Air blower to be used for cleaning everything, from removing concrete waste and sand to any other harmful materials.<\/p>\n
9.1.2 Temporary barricades to be placed around the area that is planned for the installation project.<\/p>\n
9.1.3 Adequate lighting to be provided in Basement 1 and Basement 2 prior to and during the installation to ensure the safety of workers.<\/p>\n
9.1.4 All operatives are required to take safety induction training prior to entering the site and working to install the kerbstone and interlock tiles.<\/p>\n
9.2 Process of Laying the Precast Kerbstone<\/h4>\n
9.2.2 The approved kerbstone is to be made accessible near the specified work area.<\/p>\n
9.2.3 The design, pattern, levels, and etc. shall match approved contract or shop drawing.<\/p>\n
9.2.4 Surveyor is to check and clearly mark all the required levels, alignment, set outline where the Kerbstone is to be installed according to the drawing.<\/p>\n
9.2.5 Generally, Kerbstone is to be laid on a cement-sand (1:4) mortar bed with a concrete substrate \/ foundation.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> To fix Kerbstone on a concrete ramp\/slab inside the building, a separate
\nconcrete substrate\/foundation is not a requirement. Thickness of bedding will be determined according to the condition of the site, (i.e. to follow the top level of kerb).<\/p>\n9.2.6 Kerbstone\u2019s joints are to be fixed side-by-side and touching one another. Joints to be pointed\/flushed with cement-sand mortar bed.<\/p>\n
9.2.7 Curing is to be achieved for joints and mortar bed with 2 days of spraying water.<\/p>\n
9.2.8 Approximately every 6.0 meters or every 6th joint of Kerbstone is to be left free to expand or to be provided with a 10mm Flexcell sheet. At all rounded corners, the Kerbstone is to be cut into a smaller size to meet the required alignment and curve.<\/p>\n
9.2.9 The line, alignment and level of Kerbstone are to be checked periodically throughout
\nthe installation to ensure that it complies with the drawing and site requirements.<\/p>\n
9.3 Process of Laying Interlock Tiles<\/h4>\n
9.3.1 Approved interlock tiles of the correct types and thickness to be made accessible near the work area.<\/p>\n
9.3.2 Precast Kerbstone is to be laid according to the line, alignment, and level indicated
\non the drawing, which are to be checked before laying the interlock tiles.<\/p>\n
9.3.3 Interlock tiles inside the building in Basement 1 & 2, and on the Ground floor are to be laid over a semi-dry cement-sand bed (1:6).<\/p>\n
9.3.4 Interlock tiles are to be laid according to the pattern shown in the sample or drawing after receiving approval by the engineer.<\/p>\n
9.3.5 While laying the interlock tiles, great care is to be taken to make sure the joint between each interlock does not exceed 3 mm. Sand is be spread around and brushed into each joint. A plate compactor\/vibrator is to be used in compacting the area.<\/p>\n
9.3.6 To prevent any damage to the Kerbstone\/interlock tiles, great care is to be taken using the plate compactor.<\/p>\n
9.3.7 Where the interlock tiles need to be properly sized, the pieces will be cut by machine into their correct sizes.<\/p>\n
9.3.8. After completing the work in a given area, workers will clean the space, removing excess sand and Kerbstone. Interlock tiles that have been damaged will be repaired or replaced.<\/p>\n
10. Quality Assurance and Quality Control<\/h3>\n
\u2022 QA\/QC staff will be responsible for monitoring the work to ensure that this method statement and other documents are approved prior to starting the project to install the kerbstone and interlock tiles.<\/p>\n
11. Safety<\/h3>\n
\u2022 All project work is to be done in complete compliance with the safety procedures as spelled out in the approved HSE plan for the project as well as all safety recommendations by local authorities.<\/p>\n
\u2022 All work is to comply with the safety procedures spelled out in the project\u2019s safety plan.<\/p>\n
\u2022 All workers will wear basic PPE for their safety.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sufficient lighting is to be arranged while the project is being worked on.<\/p>\n
