1.1 Scope of the Works / Project

This project report of this task is comprised of the works related to the planning exercises

relating to a construction project including pre-tender planning, method statements, work

breakdown and resource planning. The works will also comprise of preparing a preliminary

construction sequence sketch and program of work for the construction of a three-bay ten-storey

concrete framed building for a given floor plan and cross section

1.2 Location of the Project

Construction of three-bay ten-storey concrete framed building.

1.3 The Team

Designer

The team for design (the "Designer") includes a designer, a structural engineer, a capacity

inspector and a structure facilities engineer. The architect must carry the following tasks:

Makes sure that constructions are intended to evade hazards to well-being and protection

or decrease hazards at foundation if they cannot be evaded completely.

To deliver passable evidence on well-being and care and safeguard this is agreed by the

development manager for addition in the well-being and care strategy.

Planning Supervisor

In the meantime, a Planning Supervisor has also been selected for this plan. The Planning

Supervisor is a high-ranking designer from the same section. The Planning Supervisor have to
co-ordinate the well-being and care features of the project design and early preparation and to

safeguard the organization of the below:

A pre-tender well-being plan is organized

A protection file is ready
Architects abide by the well-being and care responsibilities, are capable and collaborated

with one another.

Contractor

The contractor certainly has his role to play as well.

1.4 Nature of the Work

The building is of flat slab construction and contains 32 columns per floor. Table forms

are to be used for the floor slab construction. A fixed tower crane is to be used for all lifting

operations, formwork, reinforcement and the column concrete pours. The larger floor pours are

to be concrete pumped.

Formwork resources are critical for the success of the project. Sufficient formwork is to

be available for 16 columns. These may be used two times on each floor level with some degree

of remaking taking place after the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th floor has been completed. Sufficient table

forms are to be made available for two complete half-floor slabs. These can be moved up the

building as each floor slab is completed.

Formwork removing times are of critical importance to the construction sequence.

Vertical column sides can be stripped overnight. However, horizontal slab soffits must be left in

position for a minimum period of 7 days.

 A list of activities is given below:

Activities:

Columns per floor (durations per 16 columns):

Make column formworks (3days)

Fabricate column reinforcement (3days)
Fix column rebar (1day)
Fix formwork to columns (2days)
Concrete columns (1 day)
Remove columns formwork (1 day)

Floor slab construction (durations per half a floor):

Fix table forms in position (4 days)

Fabricate and fix rebar (4 days)
Concrete floor (1 day)
Remove floor formwork (2days)

1.5 Assumptions

Underneath the ground is equal ground rock

Ground is made up of an suitable Bearing Capability
Facilities on location are above ground-rock in the topsoil
The 3 Upper levels above ground will abide by the same procedure
Sub-Contractors will supply their own Machinery, Gears and Material etc.

Site and structural civil engineers must understand that concrete suppliers execute a thorough

examination of existing formwork resolutions to aid select the finest arrangement for the

building development. For the reason that circumstances differ for each single project, there is no

easy method for selecting the correct formwork supplier or arrangement.

Additional influences the contactor will assess when selecting a formwork system comprises of:

Is the compulsory material easily obtainable? Does the supplier make the material or do

they buy it from another company?

Can the supplier pre-assemble some or all of the formwork prior to provision? This can

reduce rental price, save labour requests, and diminish assembly area necessities.
Does the supplier offer on-site field service to train and decrease the knowledge curve of

the formwork team?

How safe is the arrangement to mount, use and disassemble? Can the forms easily be

ascended and are tie-off points built into the arrangement where compulsory?
What knowledge does the firm have with your sort of project?
Does the supplier offer engineering services? Will the supplier deliver general sketches of

the system or particular assembly sketches for the formwork for the project?

It is suggested that the horizontal slab formwork must be left in position for a minimum period of

7 days because for site planning and management it is very important to keep the formwork in

place till the cement material cultivates adequate power. Though, if the formwork is kept too

lengthy it will effect in additional price and therefore a stability has to be reached at between

budget and power of concrete.

It is not possible to reduce the duration of the project.
