Scope of Works

The purpose of this Method of Statement for plaster application is to outline the materials and labor required to undertake the works in a safe and controlled manner, compiling with relevant legislation, standards, and codes of practice etc.
The method statement shall be briefed to all appropriate operatives to ensure that they are aware of the sequence of activities and any Client/Consultant project specific requirements.
A constant monitoring and supervision duty shall be undertaken by Contractor to ensure work activities are carried out in accordance with the method statement. Any irregularities shall be immediately action.
This method statement describes the working procedures for plaster application and all related activities. This will include surface preparation, application, testing and post application.

General

Prior to works commencing, the Site Engineer shall ensure that the following activities have been completed and signed-off by the Consultant:
Drawing must be approved for construction by the Consultant.
Materials Submittals (Plaster, Plaster Accessories) are approved by Consultant.
MEP conduits and accessories lay out and installations has been approved by Consultant
Method of statement was approved by consultant
The Site Engineer shall ensure that the necessary Statutory Authorities approvals have been received.

Plaster on Concrete Surface


Surface Preparation        

 Remove the dust, loose particle, oil, and grease from the surface to be plastered.
 Spray sufficient amount of clean water to neutralize the suction of the background.
 Allow free water to evaporate completely before the application of cement plaster.
 Fixing all embedded items such as pipes, electrical fitting, corner bead and other MEP services / plaster accessories must be carried out before plastering application begun.
The gap of conduit must be tightly packed with cement-sand mortar and cover with wire mesh to avoid cracks.
Points of the plaster mortar fixed to maintain straightness, adequate thickness, and level of the final plaster.

Plaster Application

Once the surface preparation to proceed with plaster application was approved, rush coat will be applied (refer to manufacturers recommendation of the approved rush coat material).
Rush coat must be cured properly for with clean water for 3 to 4 times a day for at least 2 days before application of plaster on it.
Plaster can be applied in single or double coat with average thickness of 18 to 20 mm on prepared surface using plastering machine.

Plaster on Block Surface

Surface Preparation        

Remove the dust, loose particle, oil, and grease from the surface to be plastered.
Spray sufficient amount of clean water to neutralize the suction of the background.
Allow free water to evaporate completely before the application of cement plaster.
Fixing all embedded items such as pipes, electrical fitting, corner bead and other MEP services / plaster accessories must be carried out before plastering application begun.
The gap of conduit must be tightly packed with cement-sand mortar and cover with wire mesh to avoid cracks.
Block wall and concrete wall connection must be fixed with wire mesh firmly across the joint to prevent cracks due to differential movement of the background, apply rush coat and cure it with water for at least 2 days.
Points of the plaster mortar fixed to maintain straightness, adequate thickness, and level of the final plaster. For about 1.5 meter horizontal & vertical interval is required.
Plaster Application

For plaster mixture – Ready mix plaster concrete if used refer to the manufacture’s recommendation. If mixing if mixing in site plaster mix deign will be based on the specification and to be approved by the consultant.
Once the surface preparation to proceed with plaster application was approved, rush coat will be applied (refer to manufacturers recommendation of the approved rush coat material).
Rush coat must be cured properly for with clean water for 3 to 4 times a day for at least 2 days before application of plaster on it.
For block walls only those connection with wire mesh are required to have rush coat before plaster application.
For plane block wall as background, plaster can apply directly without rush coat to thickness of 15 mm in one coat using plaster machine.

When the thickness of the plaster expected to exceed 20 mm, it must be applied in multiple coats with receding thickness. Each layer of the plaster must be fully cured, sufficiently hard and dry before going to the next layer of mortar on it. The base coat must be sufficiently roughened to get the mechanical key for the next layer of plaster. Final finishing of plaster must be done when it became thumb press hard. Finishing must be done with wooden / plastic float. It also ca be done by steel trowel but excessive troweling to achieve ultra-smooth finish and splashing of water during final finish must be avoid due to smooth finish plaster tend to crack.

Do not deviate more than plus or minus 6.4 mm in 3 m from true plane in the finished plaster surface, as measured by 3-meter straight edge.

Finishes flush with metal frame and other built in metal items and accessories that act as plaster ground unless otherwise indicated. Where casing bead does not terminate the plaster at the metal frame, cut base coat free from the metal frame before plaster sets and groove finish coat at junctures with metal.

For straight vertical joints of masonry background, a “V” groove cut must be made on plaster when it is still in wet condition. It should be formed in every 4-meter length of any anticipated movement should be accommodated by forming a straight joint right through the plaster in-line with the change of background. The resulting gap after drying should be filled with suitable joint sealant. For control joints detail refer to the approved drawing.

Plaster finishing surface will be depending on the architectural drawing. Wall finishing need to be known prior to start the plastering for wall surface. Most of the tile finished wall required rough surface and other final finishing requirement to be consider.

Plaster cracks, hollow sounds and uneven finishing required rectification. For the rectification, it is recommended to cut the surface in zig zag pattern to eliminate the future cracks possible to found between the old and new plaster.

Cuing shall be started 24 hours after finishing the plaster. Plaster shall be kept for the period of 4 days. During this period, it shall be protected to avoid any possible damages caused by other activity around it.

Storage of Materials

Storage must be a clean and dry area protected from direct sunlight and extreme heat and cold. Unopened container can be stored for 9 months. Use oldest material first.
