12. Operational Sequence of work

a) Pre-Construction Activities: -
 Ensure all required document and material approvals have been obtained.
 Ensure materials have been obtained from approved suppliers (As per BOQ)
 Ensure sufficient raw materials are available at site prior to start of the works.
 Ensure work area is clear and safe.
 Ensure all constraints on operations have been identified and precautions are taken.
 Ensure QC and HSE monitoring documents and procedures are established and approved.
 Arrange sufficient Man-Power, equipment and services as required for the works and ensure
lighting, power and access arrangements are in place.

c) Survey and Setting Out: -

Setting out and marking will be done as per approved shop drawing ceiling height of various areas
shall be marked based on the benchmark provided by main contractor level will be transferred on all
the corners and chalk lines will be marked.
d) Installation of Gypsum ceilings

Level Markings:

 Draw the require false Ceiling Finish line from the finish Floor by using Laser line marker
or Water Level. Transfer this line on all corners of room. Mark a line on periphery of wall
by using chalk line.

Framing:

 Fix the perimeter channel on the periphery of wall with suitable fasteners (600 mm c/c)-
Hilti HPS 8 x45mm.
 Mark the position of fasteners on true slab at 1220 mm c/c both directions.
 At junction of two lines, drill a hole with the help of 8mm dia. Drill bit. Insert 8mm dia &
45mm long fastener inside a hole. (Diamond Make).
 Fix the soffit cleat to the Fastener (27x37x25mm x 1.6mm) at 1220mm c/c. Ensure the
nut of DIamond fastener is properly tightened with Soffit cleat.
 Fix the Ceiling angle (25x10mm) of suitable length to the soffit cleat at 1220mm c/c with
help of M6 Nut & bolt.
 Using instrument transfer level and fix perimeter top flange level on to the Ceiling Angle.
Then mark the position of Intermediate Channel.
 Fix the intermediate channel(15x45x15x0.90mm) to the flange of Ceiling angle(25mm)
with M6 Nut & bolt. Ensure Intermediate channel resting on Perimeter Channel.
 fix Ceiling Section (80x51x26mm) perpendicular to the intermediate channel by using
connecting clip.
 Ensure the overlapping of Ceiling section & Intermediate channel should not be less the
150mm. Used metal to metal screws.
 Cross -Check the level of all frame work to ensure entire frame is in Line & Level.

Boarding:

 Do boarding by using 6x4ft gypsum board. Ensure that the length of board perpendicular
to Ceiling Section. (Square Joint of Board screw fix on Ceiling section)
 Put the 25mm drywall screws on board at 150mm on periphery of Ceiling & at 230mm
on ceiling section. Staggered the board joints.

 Method Statement
 Ensure that, the drywall screws are 10mm away from tapered edge & 13mm away from
square edge to avoid breakage of the gypsum board.

Jointing Finishing:

 Finish all the joints of boards with the jointing compound & paper tape. Don't remove
paper from square edge joint of Gypsum board.
 Fill the joints of boards with jointing compound & embed the paper tape.
 Spread first coat of compound 100mm -150mm on tape. After drying do the sanding to
remove excess material. Apply second coat – 200mm-250mm wide & third coat 300-
450mm wide.
 Fold the paper tape along the Centre line (crease) & apply with jointing compound on the
internal joints of the partition & ceiling.
 Do sanding after drying of each coat and handover for painting.

13. Manpower
 The sufficient number of workers (Gypsum workers, helpers, Foreman etc.) will be employed as per
site requirement to perform their duties and they will have sufficient tools and tackles to completed
the work assigned to them

14. Housekeeping: -
 All work area shall be kept free from any dirt, debris, unwanted materials, etc.
 All materials placed in piles shall be done so in a manner that maintains safe clearance and that
Prevents tripping or movement.
 All loose materials shall be secured.
 Accumulation of any materials that may create fire hazards is strictly prohibited.
 Excessive amount of materials is not to be stacked on floors or other supported areas in any manner
that may possibly over weights any structural area.
 Passages, stairways shall be kept clear of observation.

15. Material Handling: -

All materials required for site will be unloaded to a designated unloading and storage area which will
be away from the work area as far as is practicable. This area will be kept tidy to minimize trip
hazards. Materials as and when required will be collected from the storage area to the work area. All
staff will take care when handling materials.

16. Interface with other subcontractors & contractors: -

Mysore Lights & Interiors Pvt. Ltd, will be coordinate with all MEP team while working for each area
