2. INTRODUCTION
This method statement describes the construction sequences & methodology
for CUP_A1 BUILDING LEVEL 1 R.C construction works. The 1ST Storey Floor
Slab is built under construction method. The CUP_A1 Level 1 are consist of 1st
Storey floor slab and Pilecap
The CUP_A1 Level 1 length is divided into sections. Each section and each
layer of slab will be further divided into 4-5 panels and each panel of concrete
volumes may easily up to 800 m3 and the casting period may require 8-10 hours.
Such a long period of pouring may have potential to create several major
structural quality issues such as cold joint formation, lack of vibration
(honeycomb), thermal cracking & etc. These are the most common quality issue
occur during the construction stage. Consequently, several prevention methods
will be taken during & after concreting to eliminate or eradicate these issues;
Such as external vibrator will be use to ensure surface quality, casting
sequences & plans to avoid cold joint formation, curing method to avoid thermal
cracking & etc. Vibration effect that generated from external vibrator will be take
into consideration in our formwork design accompanied with relevant details
and documents (we are in the midst of preparing the PE endorsed formwork
design, it would be submitted separately as soon as possible)

6. PREPARATORY WORKS
The following prerequisite works must be completed prior to commencement of
underground R.C Structure works.
7.1 Layout Plan for CUP_A1 BUILDING LEVEL 1 (1ST STOREY FLOOR
SLAB)
7.3. Typical R.C Structure Work Sequences and Methodology for Floor Slab
and Pilecap
Timber 25x75mm
x) The R6 bar shall be removed immediately before the concrete has harden.
y) If the casting related to join of previous cast panel or D’wall, the hydrophilic
water-stop and re-inject able grout tubes shall be securely fixed at the
construction joint.
z) Final inspection shall be arranged with QPS team.
aa) Pre-casting program & plan shall be submitted together with the final
inspection form for each pour. The program shall state down the estimated
concrete volume, casting duration, numbers of concrete pumps and
locations, concrete placing path for each concrete pump, traffic flow
direction, manpower and shift arrangement, plant and equipment
available, standby plant and equipment, lighting provisions, contingency
for rain & etc.
bb) The casting process for the slab basically operated with the help of
concrete pump which stationed on ground level connected with concrete
pipe to deliver concrete materials to the casting area through the
temporary structure opening.
cc) Supervisor shall inform and coordinate with the main contractor supervisor
or engineers closely to ensure the continuous supply of concrete and
checked upon arrival of concrete trucks to ensure the correct grade and
type is received.
dd) Slump and concrete temperature shall be checked upon each delivery of
concrete truck by QA/QC team.
ee) A traffic control measure is necessary for casting of concrete to the
movement of concrete trucks by assigned controllers or traffic wardens.
ff) Mechanics of concrete pump (if require) shall standby during the casting
operation and respond in case of breakdown.
gg) Minimum 3 sets of good condition vibrator engines and pokers shall
provide to serve each concrete pump at the designated casting field and
2 sets shall standby to respond or substitute when the equipment
breakdown.
hh) Sufficient canvas sheet shall standby as contingency plan to cover fresh
concrete in the event of heavy rainfall.

ii) Water treatment tank will be provided with adequate storage to discharge
the rain water to prevent flooding and silty water flow to the public drain.
jj) Concrete shall be placed starting from one direction to another direction
with a horizontal layer approximately 400~500 mm depth. (Details of
length for each layer will be indicated in the casting plan to avoid cold joint
formation).
kk) The concrete shall be deposited in horizontal layers not exceeding 500mm
in compacted depth or the depth of each layer should not be any deeper
than the length of the poker head.
ll) The poker shall extend 100mm below the layer being compacted during
placing of 2nd layers of concrete to knit the two layers together.
600mm 300mm
100mm
Fill 4 ~ 5 & Fill 7~8 shall be placed within Each layer of concrete shall not be
2 hour to prevent cold joint formation place more than 300mm depth
f) The plastic sheet shall be weight down by gunny sack with thin a firm of
water which will increase moisture for curing and also to prevent
displacement which will cause moisture losses.
g) Curing method for construction joint shall carry out similar as above except
for curing compound.
h) For horizontal construction joint, concrete surface retarder StoDivers CSR-
S will be spray on it; where for vertical surface concrete surface retarder
StoDivers CSR-F will be apply to the construction joint formwork.
i) Both surfaces shall washes by high pressure washer (~160bar) at least after
24 hours to achieve the aggregate exposed surface (roughen surface).
Striking off of side formwork and C.J formwork shall be at least 24 hours
or more after the last pour of concrete.
