RC design

This submission presents the method statement and corresponding temporary work design for the construction of low-rise building (LRB). Footing foundation will be chosen for the foundation of structure. Design calculation and drawing for the structure, Including beams, columns, foundations, walls, floor slabs will be shown in the following categories. Furthermore, formwork will be adopted for the construction of structure and timber formwork will be the first priority. .

The overall sequence of construction is generally divided into following stages:

Stage 1 (Excavation)

1. Carry out underground utilities detection
2. Excavate down to +4. 3mPD to 3. 1 mPD
3. Perform compaction

Stage 2 (Foundation) A. Steel preparation

1. According to the drawings, prepare the steels with appropriate length, bending angle and diameter.
2. According to the drawings, placing the steels in corresponding location and spacing.
3. Pack the steel together, extra steel bend inwards to prevent exposing outside the concrete.
4. Leaving some space for trimming bar

B. Formwork

5. Ensure the working area is clean and clear, and with appropriate ligament.

6. According to the drawing, install the timber on the surrounding and fix tightly with nails and screw. Make sure there aren’t any gaps.

7. Brush an oil layer on the inner face of timber.

C. Concreting

8. Ensure the strength of concrete is with required slump

9. Placing blinding layer on the bottom of foundation.

10. Placing concrete evenly on the area. For separated injection, each layer should not exceed 450mm tall

11. Perform compaction with vibration tube. Note that ibration tube should not place next to the timber and not to control the flow of concrete.

12. Flatten the top of concrete when appropriate level of concrete is placed.

13. Timber can be removed after 16 hours and check whether there are cracks.

14. Perform curing by cover the concrete with plastic sheet and Floor Slab

1.  According to the drawings, prepare the steel with appropriate length, diameter, bending angle, shape.
2. According to the drawings, placing the steels in corresponding location, and spacing.
3. Pack the steel together, extra steel bend inwards to prevent exposing outside the concrete.
4. Leaving some space for trimming bar
5. Placing concrete evenly on the area. For separated injection, each layer should not exceed 450mm tall
6. Perform compaction with vibration tube. Note that vibration tube should not place next to the timber and not to control the flow of concrete.
7. Flatten the top of concrete when appropriate level of concrete is placed.
8. Timber can be removed after 16 hours and check whether there are cracks
9. Perform curing by cover the concrete with plastic sheet

Environmental Protection Measures Any spoil, debris or silt from construction works area shall be deposited at esignated area within the site as specified in the waste management plan. Such spoil, debris and silt shall be immediately removed and avoid falling into adjacent areas. Drip/ spill trays will be provided to all machines and the fuel storage tanks or drums. All power equipment shall have proper silencers. Construction plant will be kept in good condition and will be properly maintained. Construction activities will be limited to daytime hours as far as possible. All construction works will be carried out limited to the approved working hours subject to the approval of Environmental Protection Department (EPD) and Drainage Services department (DSD).

Frequently cleaning and watering the site area to minimize dust emissions. Burning debris or any material shall be prohibited on site at all times. Air and noise pollution will be monitored on a regular basis in accordance with the Air Quality & Noise Management Plan. Noise permit shall be obtained from the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) prior to any construction work beyond normal working hours. Chemical waste discharge license shall be obtained before any chemical waste disposed offsite. Surface runoff water arising from the site shall be collected by temporary drainage system.

Such temporary drainage system composed of sand bags and temporary channels along the site boundary. The collected surface runoff shall be de-silted at the sedimentation tanks before discharged to public drainage system. The temporary drainage management plan has been submitted separately. Wheel washing bays will be located at the entrances in order to keep a good housekeeping condition inside the site.

Contingency Plan

Lifting appliances such as mobile cranes can be deployed on site in order to speed p. Catch up the progress of works. In addition, some major heavily E&M equipment will be handled by the addition cranes on site. Material availability such as concrete, reinforcement and formwork can be delivered on site shortly. Normally, 1 – 2 days’ advance ordering period is required for the processing from ordering to on site delivery. In view of the current market, no shortage of aforesaid material supply is found. Disposal of the material system has already been set-up. All disposal records and submissions are in order in compliance with statutory requirements.
