5 Construction of Methodology
5.1 Logistic Management
5.1.1 Concrete blocks, lintels and fixing accessories, c/s mortar will be transported by
material hoist to designated floor for storage before the erection works.
5.1.2 All materials should be stored in a tidy manner.
5.2 Preparation and General Works
5.2.1 Metal scaffolding working platform or scissor platform should be provided if working at
height (over 2m from ground or floor). The working platform should be erected with proper
guardrails and toe board. If scissor platform is adopted as working platform, critical part
inspection (CPI) should be conducted. Meanwhile operational training and certificate should
be provided to the concerned workers before using scissor platform.
5.2.2 Implement proper housekeeping practice by allowing sufficient storage area, good
ventilation, proper temporary lighting and access to the working area. The working area
should be maintained clean and tidy after each stage of works.
5.2.3 All plants and equipments should be checked in line with the current statutory
requirements. Also, all plants should be inspected by Gammon Plant Dept (CPI) at 6-month
interval.
5.2.4 All nearby drainage outlets should be plugged up before the laying of blockwall and all

5.2.5 The working area should be fenced off before the commencement of works and
maintain the fencing until blockwall erection works was completed.
5.2.6 All electrical equipments should be inspected and labelled before use. All electrical
handheld tools should be from 110V.
5.3
Follow Section 5.2 to prepare the working area and fulfil the safety standard as
required.
5.3.2
Provide set-out for blockwall in accordance with the construction drawings. Erect
the door sub-frame with fixing lug if any.
5.3.3
5.3.4
Drill holes for installing the wall tie at the interface between block and concrete
wall. Install 6mm round mild steel rod in 350mm long with 2 coat of bitumenbased coating. The embedment length into concrete should be at least 100mm
and the interval of wall tie should be 320mm c/c vertically.
5.3.5
Install all concealed conduits and junction boxes at the designated location based
on approved combined services drawings (CSD) prior to the blockwall erection.
Method statement for E&M installation will be submitted separately for approval.
5.3.6
(if any) Install pre-fabricated blockwall stabilizing post in the spacing not more
than 3m for block wall over 3m in height. The details of steel posts should follow
the details shown in the construction drawings or other approved by Architect.
5.3.7
Provide plumb with string to control the verticality and straightness during the
blockwall erection.
5.3.8
Prior to laying of 1 st row concrete blocks, lay approximate 10mm thick hand-mixed
cement sand mortar in the proportion of 1:3 as bedding on sound concrete floor.
The cement mortar should be laid within the set-out lines of block wall.
5.3.9
The block wall should be erected at least three course in accordance with the
floor height so that the cement sand mortar could acquire sufficient strength. The
height of block wall should not be more than 1.5m high in each course. Concrete
blocks should be erected layer by layer, bottom up in alternative joint segment.
5.3.10
Lay the block on a full bed of mortar with the joints filled soild to a consistent
thickness of 10mm. Rake out joint to a depth of 10mm to provide keying for
subsequent plastering / rendering.

provided, steel angle cleat with anchor bolts fixing to concrete should be provided
as support (details refers to construction drawings or other approved by Architect).
5.3.13
Clean the squeezed out cement sand mortar at the joints upon the completion of
each stage of works.
5.3.14

filler and sealant. Install the restraint brackets based on approved details if
required.
5.3.15
Fix the metal lathing on the block wall surface where at the concealed conduits
location and interface between concrete and block wall. Fix corner bead at the
blockwall corner if required.
