4.0 METHOD OF WORK

4.1 EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS

The quality and efficiency of an installation is reflected in the tools chosen for
performing the works. The following tools and suppliers should be considered
for use on access floor installation projects.

4.1.1 Torque Limiting Screw Gun With #3 Phillips Tip

This type of screw gun is absolutely essential to providing an acceptable
installation. The use of drywall screw guns or variable speed drills may cause
damage to components and result in an unusable floor. All
fasteners are to be installed to 40 inch pounds of torque. A standard
torque wrench should be used to check the screw gun setting. Torque limiting
screw guns are also available in cordless/power pack models.

4.1.2 Laser Level

The laser level is an electronic device which sends out a rotating extremely
narrow beam of light and is an ideal leveling device for installing an access floor
system. One man can operate it to an entire installation easily and quickly. The
laser level is especially useful when the area is large and more than one installer is
placing and leveling pedestals. Each installer can work independently, al
leveling pedestals simultaneously from the same level. Laser levels are most
accurate and easiest to us of all levels, and can be rented.

4.1.3 Band Saw

14” throat preferred, 12” throat can be use. Use fine toothed diamond metal
cutting blades.

4.3.4 Other Tools

Metal tape, 30 metre and 5 metre or longer "hand" tape

Saber saw with diamond metal cutting blades
Chalk line
Hammer, metal and rawhide or plastic
Hand drill with bits
Pop rivet tool
Hand tools - screwdrivers, chisels, etc
Safety equipment - glasses, car plugs, hard hats
Extension cords.
4.4 PREPARATION WORK

Before taking possession of site, floor area must be clear of debris, floor surface
also to be smooth and ceiling works must be completed first to avoid from being
damaged later.
(Protection and learning of raised floor shall be done by others after completion
installation)

4.5 INSTALLATION
In the installation of an acces floor, there are certain criteria that should be
followed. These are listed in the general order of sequence.
4.5.1 Step 1
Verify The Room Dimension

Check the room dimensions and configuration

against approved drawings. Using a builder's
transit or laser, shoot in the areas to receive
access floor to determine how much variation there
is in the level of the sub floor within the room and at
the termination points, such as elevator and door
sills and concrete ledges. If the floor cannot be
installed per your drawings, notify the general
contractor superintendent for agreement on
corrective action. The FFH may have to be
changed.

4.5.2 Step 2
Determine Starting Points

Find the starting point in the room as

shown on the drawings. Seek approval to
change the starting point if cut panels at
the perimeter will be too small to allow
proper support. Recommended minimum
size of the cut panels for proper support
is 6inches wide.

4.5.3 Step 3
Layout Grid
Find the starting point in the room as shown on the
drawings. Seek approval to change the starting point
if cut panels at the perimeter will be too small to allow
proper support. Recommended minimum size of the
cut panels for proper support is 6inches wide.
NOTE: When starting the installation in the corner of
a room, stretch a dry line for line "B" before laying
down chalk. Check the distance from "B" line and the
"A" chalk line to the walls. If the distance to the walls
is over 24 inches at any point, move the entire line
closer to the wall so that the greatest distance is 24
inches or less.
4.5.4 Step 4
Check Control Line

Chalk the two control lines and spread

pedestal assemblies in an area
approximately 48 feet x 24 feet, making
sure to start at the approved starting
point.

4.5.5 Step 5
Target Finished Floor Height

Using a laser or transit, shoot in a

pedestal assembly to the proper FFH
every 8 or 10 feet in both directions
(depending on the length of your
leveling bar.) By spanning two
pedestals at proper FFH with the
leveling bar, adjust all the pedestals in
between to the bottom surface of the
bar. As you adjust each pedestal
assembly, center it on the two-foot
marks permanently marked on the bar.

4.5.6 Step 6
Glue Pedestal

Glue each pedestal base in the spread area

to the sub floor. Using a spatula
type device, tilt up base plate without
changing its location and apply adhesive to
bottom of base plate.

.
4.5.7 Step 7
Bolt Stringers

If stringers are a part of the

system, bolt them to the pedestal
heads beginning at the starting
point.

4.5.8 Step 8
Lay Panels in one Direction

Beginning again at the start

point, lay four rows of panels
along the longest wall. Check
to see that you are staying on
control lines, and that panels
do not rock.

4.5.9 Step 9
Check for Rocking Panels
If a panel rocks diagonally when placed in the
system, turn it one quarter (90°) turn and
check it again. If the panel continues to rock
when rotated, some debris may be between
the panel bottom and the pedestal head or
stringer.

Also check to make sure pedestal is not

tilted, stringers are properly seated and that
panel edges are flush. (See figure 4.) If the
panel still rocks, set it aside to be used as
perimeter cut panel.

The pedestals should not be adjusted unless

three or four panels supported on it are
rocking. At this point, make a minor elevation
adjustment to the pedestal.
4.5.10 Step 10
Lay Panels in Opposite Direction
After laying the first four rows of panels along
the long wall, begin again at the starting point
and lay four rows of panels perpendicular to the
first rows.

Follow the same previous steps (8 through 9) for

laying panels and be sure to follow the control
lines. If you do not stay on the control lines, the
floor will not be square and your grid lines will
not be straight.

After laying in the ELL section, check and re-

check to be sure it is square. When you are
certain the ELL is square, continue to install
rows until the ELL becomes a rectangle or
square.

4.5.11 Step 11
Align Grid
After the first section of a floor is installed, check
to see that all the grid lines are straight. If the
grid is not square, you can make them square by
bumping the rows of installed panel with your
foot. If this fails, take up every third or fourth row
of panels and tap the bases in the direction of
the panels that have to be moved. All grid lines
should be straight before cutting in the perimeter
panels.
***Caution
Be sure not to create a lightness problem
that will result in difficult removal and
reinstallation of panels.

4.5.12 Step 12 After installing the first section of A/F, only one chalked
Proceed With Next Row control line along the long wall needs to be used for the
remainder of the floor. The initial section of floor
normally dictates the square ness and location of the
rest of the floor. However, it is possible in a long room
to allow a curve to develop in small increments in the
grid. Therefore, a dry line should be kept stretched
along the short wall until at least a four-panel-wide
section of the floor is installed the entire length of the
room.
In setting this dry line, secure one end at the starting
point on the grid line between the first two panels.
Raise the line about one inch off the panel, then stretch
the line to the other end of the floor and do the same
there. The line should not override the panel edges.
5.0 INSPECTION AND TEST PLAN

Examine structural floor for unevenness, irregularities and dampness that would
affect the quality and execution of the work. Do not proceed with installation
until the structural floor surface are level, clean and dry.

Very dimensions show on contract drawings, especially interfaces such as

level of abutting floors, ledges and doorsills.

6.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Please follow the below term & condition in order to prevent the condition in protect
the Raised Floor System;

6.1 Prior to allowing other trades on the access floor, the general contractor
and/or owner shall access the floor system.

6.2 When replacing or removing panels after initial installations, extreme care must
be taken not to chip or damage the edging. The tapered edging has been
designed to allow cays removal and installation with the proper tools. Do not
handle without using the special lifter. Do not drop or kick panels into position.
FORCE MUST NOT BE USED IN REPLACING PANELS.

6.3 Rest heavy equipment on pads 10cm x 10cm (Aluminium/steel) to distribute

point loading at panel junction. Install additional pedestal as required under
panels wherever heavy equipment is resting on the floor and/or under cut
panels. With regard to long period of heavy load, auxiliary support shall be
added at the relative part of floor.

6.4 When installing cable, no more than 5 panels or approximately 3 meters should
be removed at one time to avoid misalignment of the floor when re-installing.
This applies to all types of understructure.

6.5 The installer should exercise caution when pulling cable to not loosen the
adjusting nuts on the pedestals. This can happen when cables rub against the
nut and sufficient friction will tend to loose the nut

6.6 NEVER flood panels with water or a cleaning agent. This could cause damage
to the panels and affect electrical communication wiring underneath.
Aluminium Chequer Plate Panel & selected and approved floor tile requires
little maintenance and can be easily cleaned by dry mopping and
periodically damp mopping with mild detergent when necessary. Use of strong
cleaning agents, waxing, bugging or refinishing is not needed. Under normal
environmental conditions, do not clean floor surface with steel wool, nylon
pads or abrasive of any kind, manually or with power equipment.

6.7 Owner should clean the panels twice yearly and vacuum of understructure
and subfloor at least two times a year.

6.8 In the busy area such as corridor, gateway etc. excessive load shall be
avoided. Otherwise the floor will be easily damaged.

6.9 Areas for storage and installation must be clean, dry, ventilated and free from
both excessive and rapid variations of temperature and humidity.
If necessary, you can spot clean stubborn stains with a non-flammable organic
cleaner. But if you do, take care that the cleaner does not get into cracks between
the support panel and the laminate where it could adversely affect the bond.

DO NOT clean with mop saturated with oils or chemicals. A film on the floor will affect
performance
