Method Statement

Concrete Slope Protection on Earth Surface


1) Objective:
The objective of this method statement is to outline the procedures and
precautions for the application of concrete slope protection on an earth
surface to prevent erosion and stabilize the slope.
2) Preparatory Work:
a) Site Inspection:-
i) Conduct a thorough site inspection to assess the slope conditions, soil
stability, and potential erosion risks.
ii) Identify any existing utilities, structures, or obstacles that may affect the
concrete placement.
b) Material Procurement:
i) Procure high-quality concrete mix, reinforcement materials (if required),
and any additives or admixtures specified for slope protection.
ii) Ensure that all materials comply with relevant standards and
specifications.
c) Equipment:
i) Arrange for the necessary equipment including concrete mixers, pumps (if
applicable), formwork, reinforcing steel, measuring tools, and safety
equipment.
d) Safety Measures:
i) Ensure that all personnel are trained in safe work practices and have the
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including helmets,
gloves, safety boots, and high-visibility clothing.
ii) Erect safety barriers and warning signs to prevent unauthorized access to
the work area.
iii) Conduct a toolbox talk to discuss potential hazards, emergency
procedures, and safety precautions before commencing work.
3) Execution:
a) Site Preparation:
i) Clear the work area of any debris, vegetation, or loose soil.
ii) Excavate and grade the slope according to the specified design
requirements.
iii) Install any necessary drainage systems or erosion control measures as
per the engineer's recommendations.
b) Formwork Installation:
i) Erect formwork along the contour of the slope to define the shape and
dimensions of the concrete protection layer.
ii) Ensure that the formwork is securely anchored and properly aligned to
withstand the pressure of the concrete placement.
c) Reinforcement Placement (if applicable):
i) If reinforcement is specified, place it according to the design drawings and
secure it in position using chairs or spacers.
ii) Ensure proper cover to the reinforcement to prevent corrosion.

d) Concrete Mixing and Placement:


i) Prepare the concrete mix according to the approved mix design,
considering factors such as strength, durability, and workability.
ii) Transport the concrete to the work area using wheelbarrows, concrete
pumps, or other suitable means.
iii) Place the concrete evenly within the formwork, taking care to avoid
segregation or over-vibration.
iv) Consolidate the concrete using vibrators to ensure proper compaction and
eliminate voids.
e) Finishing:
i) Smooth the surface of the concrete using trowels or floats to achieve the
desired texture and finish.
ii) Provide appropriate surface treatments or curing methods to promote
hydration and prevent drying shrinkage.
4) Quality Control:
a) Inspection:
i) Conduct regular inspections during the concrete placement to ensure
compliance with the specified standards and tolerances.
ii) Check for any defects, honeycombing, or segregation and take corrective
actions as necessary.
b) Testing:
i) Perform slump tests, compressive strength tests, and other relevant tests
on the concrete as per the project requirements.
ii) Record test results and maintain proper documentation for quality control
purposes.
5) Post-Construction:
a) Clean-Up:
i) Remove formwork and any temporary supports once the concrete has
achieved sufficient strength.
ii) Clean the work area and dispose of any waste materials in accordance
with environmental regulations.
b) Inspection and Maintenance:
i) Inspect the completed slope protection regularly for signs of damage,
erosion, or deterioration.
ii) Implement appropriate maintenance measures such as reapplication of
surface treatments or repairs as needed to ensure long-term performance.
6) Conclusion:
By adhering to this method statement, we aim to ensure the successful
application of concrete slope protection on the earth surface, thereby
safeguarding the integrity and stability of the slope while minimizing the risk of
erosion and other potential hazards.
