5. SPECIFICATION CLAUSE

The specification requirements for Rubbed Concrete works are described within Project Technical
Specification of Architectural Works and For Construction Design Drawings as follows:

5.1. Technical Specification for Structural Works

5.1.1.Materials:
5.1.1.1. SKIM COAT
5.1.1.2. Brand Name: GRANDFIX SKIM COAT SF
5.1.1.2.1. Description: Grandfix skim coat is a finishing cementitious surfaces compound
specially formulated for concrete surfaces and pre-casts for indoor and
outdoor use. It is supplied as a ready to use blend of dry powders which
requires only the addition of clean water. The product exhibits excellent non-
sag properties that provide great workability on overhead and vertical
applications.

It is used independently as render of up to 3mm thick to face up most types of

masonry.

5.1.1.2.2. Instruction for use as per supplier/manufacturer:

5.1.1.2.2.1. Preparation
Clean the surface and remove all dust, oil or traces of foreign materials.
Oil and grease deposits should be removed by stream cleaning,
detergent scrubbing or the use of a degreaser. The clean areas should
be blown clean with oil-free compressed air before continuing.

For a durable finish all surfaces should be thoroughly dampen prior to

the application of Grandfix skim coat SF.

5.1.1.2.2.2. Mixing
Using a plastic container, place 5.0 to 7.5 liters of clean water in the
container and add 25 kg of Grandfix skim coat SF. Mix thoroughly using
a slow speed electric drill fitted with a paddle for 3-5mintues until desired
homogeneous paste is achieved. Depending on the ambient
temperature and the desired consistency, the amount of water required
may vary slightly but should not exceed 7.5 liters per 25kg of Grandfix
skim coat SF.

Always add power to water. Yield is approximately 15 liters per 25 kg

bag.

5.1.1.2.2.3. Application
Apply the mixed Grandfix skim coat SF using a steel trowel up to 3mm
thick. Thin skim coating will dry in about 30-45 minutes depending on
temperature and porosity of substrate. Smoothen the skim coat with soft
paint brush or trowelled smooth.

Note: No further addition of water to unused plasteris required.

5.1.1.2.2.4. Overcoating
Grandfix Skim Coat SF may be overcoated with a decorative coating
after about 48 hours depending on the ambient conditions

6. RESOURCES AND MOBILIZATION

The Accessibility at the site will be planned and subject for approval. The Safety of the staff, workers
and material delivery also concentrate on the plan in order to mobilize in accordance from the project
requirements. All the materials to be used are subject for submittal and approval in accordance with
the Architectural Work Technical Specification.

The General Contractor (NGCB) will notify the schedule one day before the actual mobilization of the
staff, workers, equipment.

It is understood that NGCB will be responsible for the provision of appropriate type of crane for the
transportation of materials and equipment to complete the works including temporary construction
water and power supplies and lighting system.

7. CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

This Method of Statement for Rubbed Concrete Works has been envisaged that no major equipment
will be required by this activity. The typical construction equipment requirements are as listed below
and will be used up to the completion of the activities.

7.1. PPE for all staff and workers

7.2. Measuring tapes and setting out markers
7.3. Leveling instrument
7.4. Shovel
7.5. Trowel
7.6. Preparation Tools (chipping tools/gun, cleaning equipment, grinder)

8. PERSONNEL

For this Rubbed Concrete works will be organized by both General Contractor and Nominated
Subcontractor. All the personnel shall be fully competent and trained to carry out all works associated
with the Rubbed Concrete. They shall have attended the required contractor’s safety induction and
will abide by the Health and Safety Plan, policy and procedures as well as environmental plan. It is
envisaged that the installation will be conducted by the followings:

8.1. Site Engineer

8.2. Survey Team
8.3. Quality Control Engineer
8.4. Foreman
8.5. Mason
8.6. Labor

9. MATERIALS
The Materials for rubbed concrete works shall be prepared and inspected at the NGCB site
warehouse before the retouching Works. The retouching works will be done at site using a manual
procedure provided by NGCB and as per specifications by supplier/manufacturer.

All materials delivered to the site will be inspected by NGCB Engineers In-charge together with the
QA/QC Inspectors and EELHI Inspectors to check if the materials are in accordance with the site
requirement and conform to the approved design and material qualification. A sample of mix
materials shall be inspected at site and tested before the retouching works; rejected materials shall
not be accepted and shall be returned to supplier.

The inward inspection of materials will be carried out in accordance with the relevant QA/QC
procedures and or approved Project Quality Control Plan and manufacturer’s / specification of
