PART-4:

Scope, Purpose, Description, Delivery, Storage and Handling Identification & Arrangements of Risks

The purpose of this Method Statement is to highlight the main points in gypsum board installation to the
ceiling as per the approved shop drawings, ensuring health and safety, perfection and durability. In which,
there two types of the board to be installed, the Water Moist Resistant for T&B ceiling installation and the
ordinary gypsum board as the interior ceiling board up.
Description of Work
 The work methodology of installation covers various tasks e.g., ceiling, bulkhead, opening, and
other design described and mentioned in the work activity plan to cover the ceiling with the
required & recommended dimension, elevations and levelness all following the shop drawings.
 Standard and calibrated accessories, equipment and devices required in gypsum ceiling include
the advised and required steel furring, C-channels, and the carrying rod that will fasten to the
concrete slab.
Delivery, Storage and Handling
 To minimize the risk of deterioration, plasterboard should be transported to the site just before
installation.
 During handling and storage, gypsum sheets should be transported in an ‘upright’ or vertical
position with particular care taken to protect the edges.
 Gypsum/Plasterboard should be kept in tidy, balanced stacks off the ground/floor in a dry covered
area. This will prevent sliding and minimize the possibility of damage to board edges and surfaces

1. Before installing plasterboard, a building or facility should be completely examined, inspected and
checked to ensure that the framing is plumb, level and square other trades have finished their
‘rough-ins’.
2. When the installation of gypsum/plasterboards is accomplished, the recommended level of finish
should be maintained.
3. Prior proceedings to install the plasterboard, a facility should be completely inspected/examined
to make sure that the framing is plumb, level and square other trades have finished their ‘rough-
ins’ appropriately and as per the required standards
4. The spacing of studs, joists or battens takes into account the spacing recommended by the linings
given as per the plan schedule/methodology. When the installation is accomplished, the
gypsum/plasterboard will comply with the required standard of finish.
5. Prior proceedings to install the plasterboard to steel framing, completely inspect/examine that
the framing has been assembled and erected as per the manufacturer’s instructions. All contact
surfaces of the steel frame are dry, tidy and free from external materials contaminants such as oil,
grease and dirt.
6. Steel Furring Channels (SFC) are installed at correct recommended angles to the underside of
joists using clips or other sources such as fasteners.
7. Anchor clips are utilized to adjust/install steel furring to a slab ceiling properly as per the design.
8. Furring Channels (FC) should be spaced as per the sheet thickness provided in the Frame Spacing.
9. Installation of the ceiling must be done carefully as per the plan.
10. Gypsum sheets should be set out to make sure the best coverage and to minimize butt joints and
or waste from the installation material or ceiling.
Proper and essential Provision of control joints in walls and ceilings:
 at maximum 12 meters intervals in both directions
 at every change of material
 over control joints in the substrate
 at every change of substrate material.
Plasterboard should be adjusted/installed to the substrate using one of the below-highlighted systems:
 Combination adhesive and fastener.
 Screw fixed only. Nail fixed only.
 A variety of clips and or trims available for finishing corners, edges and joints of plasterboard
appropriately to make neat sharp lines, reduces cracking and to offer a higher level of impact
resistance.
 Trims may be installed /adjusted with nails, or with cornice adhesive and then stopped and
finished with the normal 3-coat system.
