shall be prepared to receive Portland cement plaster either by bonding compound or by
metal lath or both referring to the approved drawing.

14. Each plaster coat shall be applied to an entire wall or ceiling panel without
interruption to avoid cold joints and abrupt changes in the uniform appearance of
succeeding coats. Wet plaster shall abut set plaster at naturally occurring interruptions in
the plane of the plaster, such as corner angles, rustications, openings, and control joints
where this is possible.

Joinings, where necessary, shall be cut square and straight and not less than 152 mm
away from a joining in the preceding coat.

15. After plastering completion any additional services in the wall shall be cut by a saw
machine to cover the metal lath then plastering shall be done.

be placed.

17. Control Joints shall be located as per the approved Shop Drawing.

18. The distance between control joints shall not exceed 5.5 m in either direction or
a length-to-width ratio of 2-1⁄2 to 1. A control joint shall be installed where the
ceiling framing or furring changes direction.

19. A control joint shall be installed where an expansion joint occurs in the base
exterior wall. Wall or partition-height door frames shall be considered control joints.

20. Lath shall not be continuous through control joints but shall be stopped and tied at
each side.

21. Where load-bearing walls or partitions butt into structural walls, columns, or floor or
roof slabs, the sides or ends of the wall or partition lath shall be terminated at the
internal angles with a casing bead, expansion/control joint, or similar device designed to
keep the sides and ends of the wall or partition lath free of the adjoining elements as
shown on the drawings.

22. Partially completed walls shall be covered at all times when work is not in progress.
Protection shall be maintained for at least 24 hours after masonry placement and grouting
operations are completed, and water curing for at least 3 days after plaster installation.

23. Where fire-rated construction is required for walls, partitions, columns, beams, and
floor-ceiling assemblies, the construction is to be the same as that used in the fire-rating
test. Construction requirements for fire-rated assemblies and materials shall conform to
BS 476.

24. Mortar shall be made on-site by either a portable batch mixer using weigh batching
or manual mix using volume batching. For larger quantities, it can be mixed in the batch
plant.

25. Inspection of the plasterwork shall be carried out in strict accordance with the
approved ITP for the stages mentioned and related records shall be maintained.

26. For fire-rated construction, the type and size of the fastener shall be as used in the
fire-rating tests.
