METHOD STATEMENT FOR CONCRETE SLAB CUTTING (HOLLOW CORE and Half SLAB)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This document outlines the procedure for rectification through cutting of concrete due to the excess length of
hollow core and half slab for Clark International Airport Project. MCC - Precast is the contractor for
manufacturing and delivery of the required precast units and responsible for compliance with this procedure .

SCOPE

This Method Statement directly addresses the non-conformance on the dimension of the hollow core and
half slab due to the revision of framing plan as per MCC-Precast Engineering Department letter dated January
03, 2019. (Subject: Rectification – CIA Hollow Core Slab and Half Slab)

DATA

Below is the list of Hollow core and Half slab need to be cut at site.

At MCC-Precast Factory

EQUIPMENT / TOOLS

 Diamond Blade (7’’ Diamond Cutter)

 Grinding Machine – (Makita)
 Chisel (Handy)

REPAIR MATERIALS

 Protective Paint for Rebar and PC Strand (epoxy paint)

PREPARATION

 An exclusion zone is established around the area to be sawed at CIA Project Site.
 The precast slab shall be identified
 The slab cutting length shall be identified and mark.
 A cut-line is pre-marked on both side of the slab as per specified cutting length
 Cutting tools and equipment shall be checked and tested.
 Ensure engine is warmed up and the blade is spinning at the correct speed before commencing cutting.
 Appropriate PPE should be worn.

PROCEDURE

 Work should be done at Project Site and in MCC Precast factory.

 Provide a pre-marked at both face of the slab. Be sure that correct layout marked as per specified cutting
length
 Cut Straight. Make the first cut about 50-75mm deep from the top of the slab using diamond cutter (See
cutting sequence)
 Start the cutting and chipping of concrete from top portion going down at every 50mm-75mm using
diamond cutter and handy chisel
 Never leave a running machine unattended
 If cutting was done, remove the extra concrete using hand type power chisel or small diameter grinder
 Use a handy chisel to chip off loose concrete and diamond cup wheel to get correct dimension of the slab
 Protect the exposed cut reinforcement by applying epoxy paint
