Method Statement for Repairs - Repair Procedure

Surface Preparation: For any type of repair, the surface must be prepared before applying the
repair material. Whatever the repair method that is adopted the first step
is, the surface must be sound and thoroughly cleaned. All loose particles
and mortar laitance, dirt, paint, etc. must be removed by brushing with
stiff wire brush or other suitable means until sound material is completely
expose. This will ensure a bond between the bonding agent and the
structure. Repair shall be applied directly to the original surface. In case
steel is exposed, all exposed reinforcement should be thoroughly cleaned
of any loose rust, scales or any contamination that might interfere with
bond. Steel has to be cleaned with no signs of rust.

This initial preparation is vitally important and no reinstatement should

be permitted unless it has been done.

Classification of
Repair: Repair maybe broadly classified in the following categories:

A. Repair to spalled / chipped edges and corner of 0 to 50mm

B. Closing of lifting pockets / recesses, spelled edges 50mm or more.
C. Hair line crack with width of 0.25mm or less.
D. Hair line crack with width of 0.25mm or more.
E. Fixing of new dowel (missing or relocation).
F. Closing of underneath pocket/recesses for non exposed grey
