Method Statement Template for Epoxy Floor Coating Work.


PURPOSE and SCOPE.

The purpose of this Method Statement for Epoxy Coating works is to outline and describe in detail the procedure, material and labor required to undertake the work or activity in a safe and controlled manner. 

This activity should be performed with strict compliance and implementation of Safety Requirements & Procedure, standard practices, and project specifications to complete the work.

REFERENCES.

  • Material submittal.
  • Shop drawings.
  • Project specification.

TOOLS & EQUIPMENTS:

  • Shot blasting machine fitted with dust collectors.
  • Grinding Machine
  • Industrial vacuum cleaners.
  • Low speed mixers.
  • Short hair rollers & squeezers.
  • Saw cutting machines.
  • Small tools, masking tape.
  • P.P.E

PROCEDURES:

Prior to the commencement of this activity or work, necessary work permits shall be obtained as required in the contract condition.

All HSE activities related to the Project, will be based on the Company issued HSE Management System guidelines.

All quality assurance and quality control activities will be in line with the specified requirements of the contract and QMS.

PREPARATION/PLANNING:

Approvals.

Before commencing, main contractor shall obtain the necessary approval for the Epoxy Coating works.

Ensure to obtain the approvals for the detailed shop drawings for the Epoxy Coating works.

Ensure that this Method statement is approved by the Consultant.

Ensure that subcontractor is qualified to carry out the Works.

Ensure that third party laboratory is approved by the consultant to carry out material and field testing (if any).

Preconstruction Activity.

A toolbox talk will be initiated by the HSE Team to the personnel who will perform this activity.

Review the relevant documents to verify whether the preceded activity was completed and approved by the consultant.

QA/QC Representative will verify that all the apparatus and instruments used to check the quality of material and conditions were all calibrated with supporting documents.

Allocate a dedicated Site Engineer to supervise this activity that will ensure that this Method Statement, ITP, and other specific documents related to this activity.

Delivered materials should be verified by the QA/QC Representative and should be inspected by the Engineer.

Store materials in dry area out of direct sun light and as directed by the material manufacturer.

Limited access zone shall be provided with entry restrictions to all operatives.

EXECUTION.

Delivery, storage, and handling.

Ensure the materials fully comply with the approved Material Submittal.

Store all Epoxy coating materials on raised platforms and under ventilated area.

Substrate Conditions:

Reinforced concrete slab sound & dry with properly finished surface joints & edges having some surface undulations that should be relatively flattened before the application of the epoxy floor coating system.

Surface Preparation.

New concrete or cementitious substrates should be at least 28 days old and have moisture content not exceeding 5%.

Prior to starting preparation, close the area to be prepared to all traffic and other trades.

Run shot blasting machines or grinding machine onto the concrete surface to achieve medium sandpaper roughness and open concrete surface pores.



If any part of the floor is contaminated by oil, grease or fuel, the contamination should be removed before other forms of preparation are undertaken (if any). (By Main Contractor)

At free edges such as aisle ways and doorways the floor topping should be terminated properly. (By Main Contractor)

Minor surface defects exposed during surface preparation such as shrinkage cracks, blow holes, minor honey combing, minor damage to joint arises shall be filled with by epoxy mortar.



When floor preparation is complete, vacuum the area to remove all dust and debris.

Place 50mm wide masking tape along free edges.

Mixing.

Epoxy flooring is supplied in two pre-weighed packs (base & reactor), which are ready for immediate on-site use.  Part mixing of these components is not acceptable and will affect both performance and appearance of the finished floor.

Mixing should be carried out using slow-speed drill with proprietary mixing paddle attachment.

The entire contents of the reactor container should be added to the base container and mixed, until a homogeneous mix is obtained.

CONTROL.

  • To acquire the specified requirements, follow the Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) in this method statement that will serve as a guideline for the Construction Team and QA/QC Team in monitoring, inspection, and testing.
  • A checklist for this activity will be used by the Construction Team to identify each point to be inspected at every stage of the activity.
  • The QA/QC Representative will verify the compliance and completeness of the work by inspecting it and reviewing the same checklist.
