TITLE METHOD STATEMENT FOR CIVIL & MEP WORKS FOR LANDING GEAR FACILITY
  Wall ties between steel columns should be done as follow:
For Side Walls
Lay down the first line of Masonry blocks in the open area between the steel columns from the interior side of
the building in respect to the steel columns.
 Ensure to leave the area in front of the steel columns empty of blocks to erect the stiffener column at a later
stage.
 When the sub-level of the concrete lintel has been reached, install a flexible sheet in front of the steel
column, overlap reinforcement steel bars with the existing vertical dowels according to specifications, erect
a one-side shutter for the stiffener column, and pour the concrete in the column according to specifications
and construction drawings. Allow for curing as per specifications.
For End Walls
 Ensure to weld a U shape steel reinforcement bar to the steel column and overlap it with the reinforcement
of the lentils if any.

6.2 DRYWALL WORKS

 Drywalls and accessories should be brought to the job site soon prior to installation to minimize the chance
of damage.
 Gypsum sheets should be handled and stored in an upright position, with special attention paid to
protecting the edges from harm.
 Drywalls should be stacked in a damp-free enclosed location in neat, balanced stacks off the ground/floor.
This will keep the board edges and surfaces from slipping and deteriorating.
 If kept in an open area the gypsum sheets should be wrapped with plastic or tarpaulin to protect them from
direct sunlight.
 The building walls should be properly checked prior to the gypsum board installation to ensure that the
framing is plumb, level, and square and that the other trades have completed their ‘rough-ins.
 The stud and batten layout follow the lining spacing requirements listed in the frame spacing as shown in
the approved drawings. The plasterboard will be finished to the recommended level of finish once the
installation is complete.

METHOD STATEMENT: VR/CIVIL-MEP/MS-001 Page no. 10

TITLE METHOD STATEMENT FOR CIVIL & MEP WORKS FOR LANDING GEAR FACILITY
  Check that the steel framing has been constructed and erected as per the manufacturer’s specifications
and drawings before applying plasterboard to it. The steel frame’s contact surfaces are clean, dry, and free
of contamination such as oil, grease, and dirt.
 Steel furring channels are attached to the underside of joists at right angles with clips or fasteners.
 Anchor clips are used to secure steel furring to a concrete slab ceiling during false ceiling execution.
Furring channels should be spaced according to the thickness of the sheet specified in the Frame Spacing.
 Plan the installation carefully. Sheets should be laid out in a way that ensures maximum coverage while
minimizing butt joints and waste. Plasterboard is typically installed horizontally in residential construction
and is critical if a Level of type finish of 3, 4, or 5 is desired (or as per project specifications). If the sheeting
is to cover the entire wall and wall partition, it can be fixed vertically.
 Install metal wall framing in strict accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Determine and mark the wall
position and make allowance for openings. Determine and mark the wall position and make allowance for
openings. Fix track channel along centre line of floor and ceiling at 600mm centers with suitable fixings.
 Cut stud to a neat fit into the height of the required wall height. Locate the first stud into the track channel,
twist it into position and fix it to the abutting wall at 600mm centres. Locate the next stud at 600mm centres
to a friction fit within the track channel sections.
 In splicing the studs due to height requirement, two stud members are boxed with minimum overlapping of
600mm. In case of designed partition height higher than the plasterboard length, additional track channel
fixed horizontally to support an infill panel is required.
