5.0. RESPONSIBILITIES
The construction Manager shall be responsible for the implementation of this method statement.
6.0. PROCEDURE
6.1. Quality Inspection Plan (QIP) specific to project requirements shall be made and inspection activities are recorded either in the formats given under “Related Documents” or those supplied by the customer.
6.2. Study approved construction drawings for concrete work carefully and prepare the design of formwork and falsework, which shall be capable of withstanding loads imposed when concrete is placed.
6.3. Issue shop drawings/sketches to the site engineer after discussion with the construction manager.
6.4. Ensure the availability of scaffolding pipes, joints, and shuttering plates. The Formwork shall be constructed from materials specified in the project specifications and approvals.
6.5. Get standard plates fabricated through the head office or site.
6.6. Layout the work such that forms are positioned to correct lines and that they are in plumb & level conforming to the shape, lines, elevations, and dimensions of concrete shown on the drawings. In charge, formwork shall provide supplementary sketches/drawings for correct formwork.
6.7. The faces of the forms shall be true flat and free from any undulation/corrugation that may affect the finished concrete.
6.8. Use chamfer strips of 20 mm on all exposed edges, if shown on drawings.
6.9. Brace the end adequately, support all forms to maintain the desired position during and after concrete placing, and build sufficiently tight to prevent mortar leakage.
6.10. Fix foam tape to all formwork joints and edges to prevent the loss of cement slurry.
6.11. Before any reinforcement is placed, oil all forms with light-colored and bodied petroleum oil to ensure ease of removal of forms and should not stain the concrete.
6.12. The position forms accurately to tolerance and firmly secures anchors, bolts, inserts, supports, hangers, pipe sleeves, drains, water stoppers, etc. before concrete is poured.
6.13. The forms shall be stripped as per project specification requirements. Form sheets shall not be discarded and thrown to the ground. Extreme care shall be taken so as not to damage the formwork.
6.14. After the careful removal of the form sheets, the same shall be taken to the site workshop for minor repairs and oiling.
6.15. Form sheets shall be properly segregated according to size and stored under the shelter for onward usage.
6.16. Cut back rods and ties in a manner that prevents spalling.
6.17. Check request will be submitted to the consultant for approval of formwork.
6.18. In case of non-conformity at any stage of inspection the segregation shall be covered by method statement: No. QA&QC/ Use Doc. [Reference No. Here] and Corrective Action Request (CAR) shall be raised as per standard operating procedure: No. QA&QC/ Use Doc. [Reference No. Here]

8.0. HSE INSTRUCTIONS
8.1. Formwork should be inspected before concreting.
8.2. Vertical & horizontal bracing of formwork at standard intervals and equal distances.
8.3. Embedded parts (if any) should be checked carefully from the drawing before fixing of formwork.
8.4. Formwork should be removed after wearing PPE to prevent accidents.
8.5. Minimize the disturbances to the natural drainage system.
8.6. Any liquid fuel spills and accidental waste disposal should be avoided and properly cleaned up.
8.7. All hole ditches and sumps should be backfilled to prevent the subsurface water from contamination.
8.8. Preserve your natural environment.
