1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this Work Method Statement for Ceiling Works of Building is to outline and
describe in detail the procedure such as setting out and lay-out plan on actual ceiling location,
delivery and stock piling at lay-down area, delivery and unloading at site, established final ceiling
elevation, installation of hanger rod, installation of main runner and placing of perforated metal
ceiling panel and all other related activity. Inform all concerned supervisor including workers the
value and importance of this activity prior to implementation. This activity should be performed
with strict compliance with the Safety Requirements, Procedure and project specifications to
complete the Ceiling Works.

2. SCOPE OF WORKS

The scope of work of this Method Statement is for works in any Project including Existing
Building or Plant as listed below:

– Ceiling (Suspended perforated type 600x 600 acoustic metal panels with insulation) for:

1) Buildings
 2) Industrial buildings

3. SURVEY INSTRUMENT AND CEILING HAND TOOLS

– Automatic Level or Laser

– Electric Drill

– Pliers and Cutters

– High Speed Jig or Band Saw

4. STEP OF WORKS (Installation shall be as per manufacturer’s recommendation)

4.1 Preliminary preparation

– Concrete and plastered surfaces above the suspended ceiling shall be coated first for dust
proofing prior to start the ceiling works.

– Cleaning of concrete floor and removal of obstruction prior to commence ceiling layout.

– Set out laser or automatic level at the center or at the position where it can be accessible to
cover all area for ceiling.

– Established the centre line on both sides of the wall and marked as final reference to starts
ceiling layout. Only approved and final reflected ceiling plan will be used.

4.2 Scaffolding and work at heights

– Please refer to WMS Scaffolding Installation

4.3 Materials and proper storage

– Only approved materials will be used.

– Damaged or any dent on perforated panels, mineral wool panels, metal stripes and accessories
will not be allowed to use on ceiling work.

– Hanger rod for suspended carrying Main T and cross T runners shall be sufficiently strong
enough to carry out the load of ceiling grid system.

– Store all materials in the original manufacturer’s packaging in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations

4.4 Installation of ceiling grid

– Once the required and final ceiling elevation is set then starts installation of wall bracket/edge
trim.

– Suspended ceiling metal suspension system shall be a standard hung metal suspension system.

– Install hanger rod using hanger wires, hanger inserts or other hanger devices on the slab soffit.

– Hanger wires shall not hang more than 1 in 6 out of plumb unless a counter sloping wire or
horizontal bracing wire is provided.

– Avoid hangers in directly contact and press against ductwork or piping.

– Then install main grid line/main T-runner starting from the center and at same time install the
cross T member at an interval of 1200mm on center.

– Continue installation and check alignment and elevation prior to placing of panels.

– Start partial installation of panels at intermittent location and always check for the elevation
and alignment. Then starts also placing 25mm thick insulation as panels installation progress.
– Panels should be installed as required elevation and shall be no visually apparent angular
displacement of the longitudinal axis of one member with respect to the other.

– The final assembly should be horizontal, flat planar surface and no deviation more than the
required tolerance in any 3M in either direction.

– Assembly devices shall provide sufficient spacing control so that the final horizontal gap
between intersecting panels shall not exceed 510mm.

– Runners supporting lighting fixtures or ceiling vents shall not rotate +2º after the fixture loads
are installed.
