or other debris.
The formwork will be tightly secured and QC inspected against a Forming
Checklist and the relevant drawings.

Fig.3 Footing Formwork

Form oil will be applied evenly to the inner surfaces of the shutters, and the next
step will be to insert the rebar and anchor bolts.

8.4.2.3 Footings Rebar & Accessories:


The steel reinforcement bar size, number, spacing and clear cover will be
indicated by the production shop drawings. A shaded steel yard will be set up
onsite for the fabrication (cutting bending and fixing) of the steel reinforcement
cages. These will be made ready for insertion into the footing forms. Placement
of reinforcement with regard to cover, lap lengths etc… will be done as per
specifications

Fig.4 Footings Reinforcement Steel

The anchor J-bolts (for the column-to-foundation connection) will be cast-in the
footing. Steel fixers will utilize a template that secures the four bolts in their
relative positions, and the template to be centered horizontally within the footing
form, and levelled properly. Once properly aligned and levelled, the exposed
threads are to be covered with masking tape to avoid being splashed by

concrete during pour.

8.4.2.4 Footing Concrete Place, Finish & Cure:


The Contractor’s QC inspector would have already checked the footing ready for
casting and prepared the Pre-Pour Checklist. Any discrepancies found, the QC
inspector would have informed the Field Engineer or foreman for immediate
rectification. The SE will be informed on the readiness of the work and
requested to inspect it through raising an RFI, and once approved concrete
supplier to be informed of pour schedule.

Depending on ambient temperature, the formwork may be misted with water to


provide cooling. On the arrival of the first batch of concrete, its time ex-plant,
ambient temperature and concrete temperature shall be observed. Cube
samples must be taken at a pre-determined frequency for standard compressive
strength testing. A slump test for assessment of workability shall also be
conducted near placement location. All these observations shall be recorded by
the QC inspector assisted by the lab technician.

Notes:
 Slump of 125mm ± 25 is found within limits, elapsed time between batching
and placing of concrete shall not exceed specs requirements.
 The Temperature of the concrete at the time of placing not to exceed 32°C.
 Ambient temperature shall be 38°C Maximum.
 In hot weather, cooled water shall be used for mixing concrete. If
necessary, crushed or flaked ice shall be added. This procedure shall be
performed under strict control to ensure the total amount of water added
remains under the prescribed limits.

No water should be added on site. Drop height should be restricted to no more


than 1 m, and proper vibration using external needle vibrators (and mould
vibrators where seen fit) so as to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped air.
The vibrator should draw through each successive deposit of fresh concrete into
the previous placement to ensure adequate blending. Screeders will be used to
maintain thickness and levelling after spreading

After initial setting, hand floating & troweling is done to achieve the desired slick
finish of the top face of the elements.

The form shutters will be kept for a sufficient period of time to retain moisture
within the casted footings, and the top surface will be cured appropriately by
keeping moist for three days after casting.

8.4.3 Precast Concrete Panels & Columns Production:-

8.4.3.1 Casting Moulds Design & Fabrication:


The moulds will consist of side steel shutters anchored to a steel base plate.
The steel shutters and base plate will be fabricated to give the concrete finish
required and the dimensions provided in the approved shop drawings. Allowable
tolerances shall conform to project specifications and international precast
standards. The production demands of the approved time schedule will dictate
the total number of moulds that must be made available so as to accommodate
the concrete placing/finishing/stripping cycles without negatively affecting the
construction programme. The steel forms will be laid out on a concrete casting
bed according to shapes and types of elements. 10x10mm chamfers will be
welded to shutter boundaries to give concrete edges cleaner appearance with
no chipping.

8.4.3.2 Preparing the Precast Elements Prior to Pour:

14 | P a g e
Method Statement: Alternative Option - Construction of Boundary Wall
Using Solid Precast Concrete Panels, Precast Concrete Columns & CIS Concrete Isolated Footings

The mould inner surfaces will be cleaned and free of dirt or other debris. After
each casting cycle the shutter surfaces should be cleaned from any concrete
residues with scrappers. The shutters will be visually inspected to identify any
wear and/or deformation that must be remedied before next casting.

The mould shutters will be secured and QC inspected and checked for
squareness and correct dimensions and a Forming Checklist (refer to ITP & QC
Plan) is filled out, where inaccuracies are found, they must be adjusted
accordingly. PCI Manual 120-99 chapter 8 and PCI manual 135-00 shall be
referred to as international standards to govern allowable tolerances in
production of precast/pre-stressed elements.

After approval to proceed is granted, the steel mold may be misted with water
to provide cooling. On the arrival of the first batch of concrete, its time ex-
plant, ambient temperature and concrete temperature shall be observed. A

17 | P a g e
Method Statement: Alternative Option - Construction of Boundary Wall
Using Solid Precast Concrete Panels, Precast Concrete Columns & CIS Concrete Isolated Footings

slump test for assessment of workability shall be conducted near placement


location. All these observations shall be recorded by the QC inspector
Notes:

 Slump of 125mm ± 25 is found within limits, elapsed time between


batching and placing of concrete shall not exceed specs
requirements.
 The Temperature of the concrete at the time of placing shall not exceed
32°C.
 Ambient temperature shall be 38°C Maximum.
 In hot weather, cooled water shall be used for mixing concrete. If
necessary, crushed or flaked ice shall be added. This procedure
shall be performed under strict control to ensure the total amount of
water added remains under the prescribed limits.

Fig.11 Concrete Placement, Vibrating & Screeding

No water should be added on site and cube samples are taken for
compressive testing as per QC Plan. Drop height should be restricted to no
more than 1 m, and proper vibration using external needle vibrators (and
mould vibrators where seen fit) so as to retain no appreciable amount of
entrapped air. The vibrator should draw through each successive deposit of
fresh concrete into the previous placement to ensure adequate blending.
Screeders will be used to maintain thickness and levelling after spreading.

8.4.3.4 Precast Elements Concrete Finishing:


After initial set, bull floats will be used to make way for a smoother and flatter
surface. Once the concrete, gains enough strength to support the weight of a
walk behind trowel, power troweling is used to achieve the desired slick finish of
the top face of the elements. Whereas this technique is practical for the flat wall
panels, it is not doable for the columns, those elements’ top faces will be hand

18 | P a g e
Method Statement: Alternative Option - Construction of Boundary Wall
Using Solid Precast Concrete Panels, Precast Concrete Columns & CIS Concrete Isolated Footings

trowels/floats finished.

Fig.12 Trowel Finishing Top Surfaces of Precast Elements

8.4.3.5 Precast Elements Concrete Curing:


The use of approved curing compound coats to protect against drying out.
This moisture retention procedure should be done immediately after
concrete finishing is completed, and should be maintained by keeping
shutters in place and secured until concrete reaches adequate strength.

Fig.13 Curing Compound Application Immediately After Finishing

8.4.3.6 Precast Elements Demoulding:


Upon achieving required strength (15MPa compressive strength or 3.45MPa
modulus of rupture) the finished concrete elements are demolded by
stripping the side shutters by pinching from both extremities with pry bars
ensuring the concrete edges suffer no damage. Every precast element shall
be permanently marked with a specific name as per its shop drawing and
the followed mark numbering format which must include the Mold_Type in
which it was cast, and the Date_of_Casting. The demolding crew will rig the
elements by attaching the lifting clutches that are attached the sling chains
of the production yard’s mobile crane. The crane should have adequate

19 | P a g e
Method Statement: Alternative Option - Construction of Boundary Wall
Using Solid Precast Concrete Panels, Precast Concrete Columns & CIS Concrete Isolated Footings

capacity, and the stripping process must be done under the supervision and
instructions of the production yard’s rigging supervisor. The elements are
then transported on board a flat trailer to the stockyard. In case of defects or
damages, the QC engineer shall be informed immediately.

The stacking of the panels, columns and footing elements in their final
positions in racks and on sufficient dunnage to eliminate risk of tipping over
or deflection. Damp proofing coal tar epoxy will be applied in the stockyard
to columns’ submerged portions prior to shifting to erection location.

8.4.3.7 Precast Elements Demoulding:


The concrete items will be transported within project site from production
yard to storage and from storage yard to erection site on proper dunnage
and secured to the flatbed with latching chains and belts. Care must be
practiced when securing latching chains and belts by providing Styrofoam
cushioning to prevent concrete damage. During loading the elements will be
placed in a sequence that suits the offloading sequence, keeping in mind the
overall stability of the load.

8.4.4 Erection of the Precast Columns & Panels:-

8.4.4.1 Erection of Columns:


1. Footings anchor bolts masking tape is removed, and a set of nut
and washer connected to each bolt threads
2. Shim pack placed between the 4 anchor bolts (on top of footing)
to achieve desired column’s base plate level.

3. The erection crew will offload the column of the flat bed using the
erection site’s mobile crane with adequate capacity, and under
the supervision of the site erection supervisor. The rigging belt is

8.4.5 Backfilling, Ground Re-instating & Finishing:-

The procedure for backfilling and associated tasks (watering, compaction &
testing) has been discussed in section 8.4.1. It is however re-iterated here.

The backfilling process begins right after column erection is completed. The
tipper trucks supply the approved selected back fill, and the backhoe loader fills
the pits with the soil in layers and each layer is properly compacted, until finish
ground level (FGL) is reached.

Accessories like concertina wire and barbed wire (as per instructions of CLIENT)
can then be fitted after completion of all erection and backfilling works HC.
