Any process that is adopted that may have a particular safety risk, shall be assessed and addressed as required.MethodUpon removal of the formwork, the concrete surface shall be inspected by the Site engineer & foreman to check surface defects.Where no surface imperfections have occurred, the concrete surface shall be cured according to the relevant procedure. Minor defects as described in A – D below shall be repaired as soon as practical. More significant defects as described in E – H shall be subject to joint inspection / agreement between Civil Contractor, EPC Contractor and Company.A.Pin holes / blow holesWhere small defects to the concrete surface has occurred such as pin holes or holes smaller than 3mm in diameter or depth, the surface shall be repaired using Nitomortar FC with an approved bonding agent. This surface repair shall be conducted as soon as the formwork is removed whilst the concrete is still green. The repair shall then be cured in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions or agreed procedures using water or curing agent as appropriate.B.Sand runs / scouringWater movement inside the shutter can result in a streaky appearance giving loose sandy finish. Where this occurs, any loose material shall be removed by stiff brushing and then repaired as described in A above.C.Plastic shrinkage cracksCracking caused by plastic shrinkage due to inadequate curing and protection of horizontal surfaces usually results in a series of diagonal cracks. These should be repaired by brushing dry cement powder directly into the cracks while the concrete is less than 3 days old and covering with damp hessian.Statements were written by Professional Eng Suraj Singh Project Manager as well as Senior Project Engineer.

D.Minor misalignments (Typically Less than 2cm)Misalignments due to shutter movements etc, should be ground back to provide a smooth transition between areas. Where occurring at joints between panels, the ground profile length should be 2-3 times the size of the maximum misalignment. Following grinding, the surface should be reinstated as in A above. Care should be taken to ensure that concrete cover is maintained per specifications at all times.E.Honey combing / segregation / minor voidsThe repair shall be conducted as soon as the formwork is removed and the repair method agreed with EPC Contractor / Engineer. It shall require chipping the repair area free of laitance and exposing any voids. The repair area shall then be soaked, an approved bonding agent applied followed by working on with an approved mortar such as Master Flow 544 before the area dries out.. The materials shall be mixed using the bonding agent and not water. The mixed material shall be trowelled firmly into the repair area. Incase, the depth of the repair exceed 15mm, the repair shall be conducted in two layers providing a scratch coat on the first layer. The repair shall then be cured in accordance with the agreed procedure using water or curing compound as appropriate.F.Major voids (Typically Deeper than 5cm)This repair shall consist of chipping the affected area to remove any laitance and voids. Where reinforcement is exposed in a void, the surrounding concrete shall be chipped away to provide adequate space to place fresh concrete around the reinforcement including removal of all soft concrete. (Note- a distance of one and a half times the stone size must be allowed around all exposed reinforcement). Formwork shall be provided to retain the fresh concrete. The chipped area shall be soaked in and primed with a bonding agent. The bonding agent shall not be allowed to dry. Fresh concrete of the same grade as the surrounding concrete shall be used to fill in the void. The repair shall be water cured along with the parent concrete. The surface finishes to the repair shall be as the same standard as the surrounding concrete.G.Plastic settlement cracksCracking caused by settlement of concrete usually in deep lifts or at changes in section can result in a series of cracks which mirror the reinforcement pattern in horizontal surfaces or appear to arch on vertical surfaces. Any such cracks should be chased out to a depth of 10-15mm and filled with an epoxy mortar such as Nitomortar FC as in A above.H.Pourous / spongy surfaceWhere inadequate vibration and poor finishing techniques have caused excessive bleeding, horizontal surfaces can appear spongy and pourous. In this case all affected surfaces should be ground back to good concrete usually only 2-3mm below the surface. The surface should then be reinstated using Nitomortar as in A above. This type of defect often occurs with plastic settlement cracks which should be treated as In G above.

The code provides that notwithstanding the satisfactory completion of the test, any evidence of seepage of the liquid to the outside faces of the liquid retaining walls should be assessed against the requirement of the specification. Any necessary remedial treatment of the concrete, cracks or joints should, where practicable, be carried out from the liquid face. When a remedial lining is applied to inhibit leakage at a crack, it should have adequate flexibility and have no reaction with the stored liquid.Should the structure not satisfy the 7 days test then after the completion of the remedial work, it should be refilled and if necessary, left for a further stabilising period followed by a further test of 7 days’ duration should then be undertaken in accordance with this clause.

Any snag observed during his visit shall be notified to the supervisor present who immediately act to bring the safety measures to an acceptable standard ResponsibilitiesAll inspection and repair work related to the concrete floor screeds shall be under the sole direction of a dedicated Site Engineer (SE) who shall have full authority and responsibility for ensuring that the works are carried out in accordance with this Method Statement.Procedure1. Repair activities shall be restricted to a limited number of rooms at any time, and access to

the rooms restricted during repair. Before commencing any repair activity, including preparation, the SE shall ensure that previously completed works are suitably protected from damage and dust, using a combination of polythene sheeting and ply boarding as appropriate.

2. Before commencing any repairs in a room, the SE shall agree the scope of the repairs to be undertaken with the Site Quality Manager, with the agreed repair marked on the floor. The scope shall be recorded on a sketch and identify which type of repair is to be used and the approximate area of the repair. The repairs shall be selected from the following:Repair Type A – Removal and Reinstatement with Cement Screed.This repair should be adopted where the existing screed has completely disbonded and broken up, leaving loose isolated sections of screed.Repair Type B – Repair with Epoxy MortarThis repair should be adopted where there are significant isolated cracks in the screed. It is not intended to repair minor hairline cracks by this method, or construction joints between adjacent panels of screed, unless they have become otherwise damaged.Repair Type C – Repair with Resin InjectionThis repair should be adopted where the screed appears to be disbonded and cracked or lifting but is otherwise intact. This may be carried out in conjunction with repair Type B above. It is not necessary to use resin injection on hollow sounding areas where there is no other sign of failure.

Repair Type D – Surface Epoxy CoatingThis repair shall be applied as a final protective coating to all repaired areas. As well as sealing any un-repaired hairline cracks, this shall also ensure an overall uniform appearance of the repaired areas.

3. The repairs shall be carried out as follows:Repair Type A: Removal and reinstatement with Cement Screed

A1. The affected area shall be sawcut to the full depth of the top layer of screed (typically 35mm) and the affected section removed carefully so as to cause minimum disruption to adjacent areas.

A2. The removed area shall be fully cleaned of all dust and debris, and any loose material removed.

A3. The cleared area shall be thoroughly soaked (not just dampened) for at least one hour before reinstatement.

A4. Immediately before placing the replacement screed, remove any surplus water (the substrate should still be wet) and apply one coat of NITOBOND PVA bonding agent to all surfaces – horizontal and vertical.

A5. Place and compact the replacement screed material. Trowel and immediately cover with polythene sheeting placed flat against the surface.

A6. Remove the polythene sheet after 4 hours and replace with wet hessian, covered with polythene sheeting. Ensure that further water is added to the hessian at least twice daily for a minimum of three days.

A7. Ensure that no-one walks on the repair for minimum three days. If unavoidable, lay ply sheet over repair, ensuring it remains in place.

Repair Type B – Repair with Epoxy MortarB1. Using a hammer and chisel, carefully chase a ‘V’ notch along the length of any crack

and along the edge of any loosened area. This should typically be 5mm from the edge of the crack and 5mm deep.

B2. Physically remove all loose material and clean using a using a wire brush or similar. Remove all dust and debris, using a brush and / or vacuum cleaner.

B3. Mix the repair material – NITOMORTAR FC-B (or FC) – in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and firmly press the repair mortar into place using a steel trowel. Finish the material flush with the surrounding concrete. It may be necessary to apply a second levelling coat if the material settles.

B4. Ensure that the repair area is not walked on for 24 hours.

Repair Type C – Repair with Resin InjectionC1 Drill three 10mm holes in the area to be repaired, to a depth of approximately 35mm,

representing the interface between the two screed layers. This can be determined by the change in sound of the drill.

C2. Fix an injection nipple to the drilled holes using an epoxy mortar e.g NitoMortar FC-B, and seal using a trowel. Allow to set for eight hours.

C3. Mix the repair resin – NITOFILL EPLV – in accordance with the manufacturers reccomendations, and insert into injection gun.

C4. Commence filling the central nipple, and continue until resin is observed at the outer nipples. If neccesary, continue filling the outer nipples. Note that material usage rate should be approximately 1litre per 1m2. Do not attempt to place more than this, or the floor could lift further.

C5. Leave for 6 hours, then remove the nipples and fixing mortar, and make the surface good.

Civil Contractor QC visual inspection shall be conducted to ascertain proper compaction and levels.The surface of the screed shall be cleaned by brush prior to the application of the adhesive. The adhesive shall be mixed with water using a slow speed drill to the water adhesive ratio per manufacturer’s data sheet. Adhesive Nitotile GP mix shall be applied in uniform thickness of 2 to 3 mm over the surface of the cement sand screed bedding and then combed horizontally.

Tiles shall then be laid on the adhesive layer with a twisting motion ensuring good contact between the tile and the adhesive bed. For this purpose the adhesive manufacturer’s instruction shall be adhered to.The tiles shall be correctly positioned in both directions the time these are placed forming joints using a proprietary tile spacer ( 1.5 mm for wall tiles and 3 mm for floor tiles)The tiles shall neatly and accurately be cut to a close fit where necessary at abutments, around outlets, pipes and the like.Civil Contractor QC Inspection shall be conducted for the correct formation of joint alignment and the level profileThe tiles shall be laid level or to 1- % falls in ‘wet’ areas as may be required. Localised variations in level for a nominally flat floor shall be a maximum of +- 2-mm under a 3-meter straight edge. Particular care shall be taken in ‘wet’ areas to prevent low spots that may

promote water pooling. The tolerance in the overall level shall not be more than 10 mm from required finishes. (Reef STQ Q)Excessive adhesive shall be removed with a damp cloth before the material has set.Grouting of the joints shall be carried out after a period of 24 hours after completion of laying of tiles. MOVEMENT JOINTS IN TILED FLOORSUnless otherwise indicated in the documents, a 10 mm movement joint shall be formed at the perimeter of all the tiled floors and where the tiling meets structural features such as columns, machine bases etc.,Where a structural movement joint is provided in the base, a movement joint of the same width in the bedded finish shall be positioned immediately aboveThe movement joint cavities shall extend through the combined thickness of the finish and the bedding mortar, completely filled and sealed after grouting of the normal joints takes place.Major EquipmentMechanical MixerWheel barrowsMason’s tools in generalSlow speed drillAttachmentAdhesive manufacturer’s Datasheet#120

The Concrete Foreman shall ensure that the concrete crew is fully aware of this procedure and the correct methods of working.SafetyThe Safety Officer shall monitor the concrete activities, advising and implementing all safety procedures.MethodThe structure that is to be concreted, shall be inspected and approved as correct, by both Civil Contractor and EPC Contractor.The permission to place concrete shall be authorized by EPC ContractorThe concrete Foreman shall ensure that he has adequate equipment resources (vibrating pokers, compressors, hoses, steelfixer, carpenter, water etc), at the location of concrete placement.When the site laboratory concrete technician, has approved the concrete delivery, the concrete placement activity can commence. Refer to Method statement, Testing of Fresh Concrete.The concrete shall be discharged by one of two methods. For pours greater than two cubic meters in volume, the concrete shall be discharged through a concrete pump. For pours less than two cubic meters, the concrete can be discharged direct from the truck mixer.Regardless of the method of discharge, no concrete shall be dropped from a height greater than two meters, or in a manner that shall cause the segregation of the aggregates.Immediately prior to placement activities commencing, the reinforcement within the concrete pour, shall be sprayed with clean water. The placement of the fresh concrete within the shutters, shall be in a logical sequence. Concrete shall be placed at locations that do not exceed 1.5 meters from the final location of the concrete. The maximum concrete layer thickness of 450 mm shall be observed.The fresh concrete shall be compacted with pokers of sufficient size and number. Consolidation of the fresh concrete, shall commence when the placement of the concrete is adequate, so that uncontrolled segregation does not occur. Concrete shall be placed in a sequence that ensures that cold joints are eliminated. Each subsequent layer of concrete shall be adequately compacted into the concrete layer below.Where encast plates, holding down bolts, or any other critical embedded item is included within the pour, the surveyor shall check the location and elevation of that item, when concrete placement has been completed.

Immediately the concrete finishing has been completed, the concrete shall be covered with white polythene sheeting, ensuring that the edges are sealed to prevent the circulation of air.Upon adequate setting of the concrete, the white polythene sheeting shall be removed. Hessian which has been soaked in water, shall be placed over the set concrete. The white polythene sheeting shall be replaced and sealed at the edges. The hessian shall be kept moist for a period of 14 days.

(Note: it is proposed to apply for a specification concession to use a water based curing compound, in leu of water curing.)When shuttering is removed from a pour, the resultant concrete surface shall be inspected. Where a defect is observed, the defect shall be classified as minor or major. A minor defect is one which does not impair the strength of the structure or is greater than 10mm by 10mm. This minor defect shall be repaired using a patching mortar.A major defect shall be brought to the attention of the QA department. A major defect shall be any other surface defect that is larger than 10mm by 10mm.

It is important that the backfill and compaction of the line is done according to the installation procedures, as this shall prevent the line from moving during pressuring as well as as providing protection against impacts, shade etc. Joints shall not be backfilled; a taped off area shall be delimited around the test pump, the diameter of this area shall be 1.5 times the length of the test pressure hose between pump and blind flange; where only designated personnel shall have access.II Hydrotest Preparation1. Any required temporary piping facilities, make up dummy spools shall be installed.2. The main blind flange shall be fitted inter alia, with a manifold on which a pressure

safety valve adjusted at 1.5 times the piping design pressure shall be connected.3. Calibrated pressure gauge ranging from 0 to 25 bar G. shall be installed on the line.

They must have valid calibration certificate.4. The pressure hose shall be connected to the blind flange manifold through a NPT

connector.5. Venting facilities: All steel blind flanges shall be provided with bleed valves. All high

points shall have a venting facility.6. The line shall be filled with water the previous day to testing to allow for thermal

stabilization over-night.7. The filling of sloped lines shall be done from the lowest point. The filling shall be done

with all vents open, vents should be closed only when clear water with no air bubbles come through the vent. Only when all vents are closed should the filling pump stopped.

8. The pressure test pump, a triplex pump model shall be started and vents reopened to ensure any remaining air in the pipe escapes. Once closed the pressure shall be taken up to the field hydrotesting pressure of 1.5 times the design pressure. During the following time periods.a. Pressure Setting Testing

8.3 At 1.5 operating pressure the starting time shall be logged.8.4 The test shall be monitored during this time. The pressure & temperature shall be

monitored.9. The piping systems are designed to withstand 1.5 times the design pressure of the

pipes and fittings; in the unlikely event the pressure would rise above this point, the safety valve shall release water which shall be kept for re-pumping at the end of the test period.

10. After the holding time, if no pressure drop exceeding 0.3 bar G / 1000 m of line, hydrotest shall be considered as successfully passed.

11. The pressure may then be slowly released and the line gravity drained back.12. If the pressure abnormally drops during the testing, indicating a leak, the pumping may

be continued until the leak is detected. The leak shall then be repaired and after depressurising and draining the line and then procedures 2 to 11 shall be followed.

13. The hydrotest package shall be submitted in advance for COMPANY / EPC Contractor’s review. The required representatives shall complete and sign all paper work pertaining to the test.
