Method Statement Concrete Coring

This document provides a method statement for extracting concrete cores from a parking structure project in Penang, Malaysia and testing them to determine the in-situ concrete strength. It involves drilling 75mm or 100mm cores from the slab, patching the holes, trimming and capping the cores, and conducting compressive strength testing according to British standards. The method statement outlines using a coring machine, diamond bit, extracting the core, marking it for identification, and patching the hole with non-shrink grout.

METHOD STATEMENT FOR EXTRACTING AND TESTING CONCRETE CORES

Introduction : This method statement describes a method for extracting cores from concrete and
preparing them for testing to determine the estimated in-situ cube strength.

Scope of Work 1) To drill out 75mm / 100mm diameter cores from concrete slab.

2) To patch back core holes with cementatiouns non-shrink grout.

3) To carry out trimming and capping on the concrete cores.

4) To carry out compressive strength test on the concrete cores.

(I) Core Drilling : (1) The position to be cored shall be identified and marked by the client or the
Engineer.

(2) A bar detector will be used to scan the concrete surface to enable a bar-free
core to be drilled through the concrete.

(3) The coring machine will be secured firmly to the beam by fastening anchor
bolt to the concrete.

(4) Water supply will be connected to the drill, the thinwall diamond bit will be
screwed onto the drill and by switch on the handle on the drill, the bit will be
slowly pressed against the concrete surface to commence coring works.

(5) After a length of 150mm has been drilled into the concrete, the core will be
carefully extracted from the concrete structure.

(6) The core will be marked for identification and signed by the Engineer.

(7) The core holes will be patched back by using cementatiouns non-shrink
grout.

(II) Capping and Testing : All the related tests are carried out in accordance with
for strength B.S. : 1881 : Part 120 : 1983 Method for Determine of the
Compressive Strength of Concrete Cores.
