method of statement for interlocking block and curb stone

Summary: This Method of Statement applies to the following;
Materials for Application;
1. Pr-Cast Curb Stone
2. Interlocking Block,
3. Aggregate Sub-base & Base Coarse
4. Geo textile, Separation Layer-Geotextile Fabric 140
5. Mortar
6. Soil Sterilizer

1. DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING OF

CURB STONE AND INTERLOCKING BLOCK:
A. After the material samples have been approved, all materials shall be delivered to site
in the manufacturers original unopened containers and packages with seals unbroken
and labels intact and shall be stored in a dry place. Materials such as cements, which are
partially caked, the containers for which show water stain or which are damaged or
unsuitable for use shall be removed from site.

B. Damaged curbs shall not be allowed to be used so that precautionary measures shall
be undertaken to prevent racking, chipping or other damage during unloading and
storage at the site. Any damage curb installed shall be immediately removed from the site
and replaced with a new material.
C. The work shall be coordinated with other sections of work which adjoins other
materials before installation of the material herein.

2. INSTALLATION :
1-curb stone:
A. Set lay-out for curb stone according to plan with reference to lines and grades.
B. The base coarse shall be compacted to attain sufficient compaction prior to its final
placement.
C. Set curbs in full bed of mortar that it will be stable and can resist lateral force exerted
by the adjoining elevated interlocking blocks.
D. The joint of the curb stone shall be spaced for at least 10 mm and the same will be
filled with mortar so that there will be no lack of bond between adjoining curb.
2- Interlocking Blocks
A. Prepare sub grade for the installation of the interlocking blocks. Any soft soils shall be
removed so that it will not create unstable foundation.
B. Place aggregate sub base and base as indicated in the plan.
Compact by tamping with rubber mallet and screed to depth
required to allow setting of paves.
C. Place geotextile over compacted base course, overlapping ends
and edges at least 300 mm.

D. Place leveling course and screed to a thickness of 25-38 mm,

taking care that moisture content remains constant and density
is loose and constant unit pavers are set and compacted.
E. Treat leveling base with soil sterilizer to inhibit growth of grass
and weeds.
F. Set pavers with minimum joint width of 1.6 mm and maximum
of 3 mm, being careful not to disturb leveling base. If pavers
have spacer bars, place pavers hand tight against spacer bars.
Using string lines to keep straight lines. Fill gaps between units
not to exceed 10 mm with pieces cut from full size unit pavers.
G. Spread dry sand and fill joints pavers, vibrate pavers and add
sand until joints are completely filled, remove excess sand.
H. Do not allow traffic on installed pavers until sand has been
vibrated into joints.

3. CLEANING AND PROTECTION:

A. Remove and replace unit pavers that are loose, chipped, broken,
stained or otherwise damaged or that do not match adjoining units as intended.
B. Protect the finished work from damage until substantial completion.
C. At the end of each day of work, remove from the site rubbish and debris resulting from
this work.
