7.5 Plant and Equipment will be provided with back-up alarms, lights, and all other
applicable safety devices.

7.6 For AOA work, safety requirements as defined per Section 107 will be
implemented. Specific safety training will be provided to personnel for AOA work.

8.0 Prior Activities

8.1 Prior to the start of rendering works, it will be ensured that all necessary
equipment and tools are available. The SE will ensure that the site staff is aware
of all the procedures.

8.2 It will be ensured that the materials for rush coat, plasticizer admixture, render
corner and stop beads are approved.

8.3 It will be ensured that the block works and MEP works are completed and
approved.

8.4 It will be ensured that the 10mm thick compressible filler board, for walls, is
installed and secured properly.

8.5 Block work walls shall be left for at least 14 days before the application of render.

8.6 Surface irregularities, if any, shall be filled with mortar (without lime) 24 hours
before rendering is commenced. Joints in block work shall be raked out before
rendering to form a good key.

8.7 Surface to be rendered shall be clean and free from dust, loose mortar and all
traces of salts.

9.0 Procedure

9.1 Rendering to Ceiling (Uncovered Areas)

9.1.1 Mix Plaxit 114, with low speed electrical drill, in a small plastic container.
Leave the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes in the container before application.

9.1.2 Apply the Plaxit 114 rush coat mixture directly to the concrete ceiling surface
by using Tyrolean machine. Wet cure the rush coat applied surface with
potable water, four to five times daily, for 48 to 72 hours.

9.1.3 To ensure the horizontality and to control the level of the surface finish, fix
minimum 10mm thick screed spots, at a maximum spacing of 2.50 meters in
both directions, and leave to wet cure for a minimum period of 24 hours.

9.1.4 Mix rendering material in a small dry mechanical mixture in proportions of

one part of Portland cement to 2 parts of screened black sand, 2 parts of
dune sand, sufficient potable water. The water/cement ratio should not
exceed 0.42. Add air-entraining plasticizer Rheomix 720 at the rate of 150
to 250 ml per 100 kg of cement and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous
mix is achieved.

9.1.5 Prior to the application of rendering material, to control the water absorption
of the rendering, thoroughly spray the rush coat applied concrete surfaces
with potable water and leave for 5 minutes. Apply the rendering material of
desired thickness to the concrete surfaces by means of trowel.

9.1.6 Level the rendered surfaces properly (level control by screed spots) by
using aluminium tube. After levelling, the surface shall be finished smooth
by means of wood or steel float and finally finished with a dry sponge. Wet
cure the rendered surfaces with potable water, three to four times daily, for
72 to 96 hours.

9.2 Rendering to Walls

9.2.1 Mix Plaxit 114, with low speed electrical drill, in a small plastic container.
Leave the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes in the container before application.
Apply the Plaxit 114 rush coat mixture directly to the concrete surface by
using Tyrolean machine. Wet cure the rush coat applied concrete surface
with potable water, four to five times daily, for 48 to 72 hours.

9.2.2 For block work walls, apply a coat of rich cement/sand slurry (450 kg/m3)
directly to the damped surface by means of a Tyrolean machine. Wet cure
the surface with potable water, four to five times daily, for 48 to 72 hours.

9.2.3 Prior to the application of render material, fix render corner beads for all
exposed edges in addition to render stop and movement beads at the
junction of block works and concrete surfaces and wherever shown in the
approved shop drawings.

9.2.4 Fix 18mm thick marine plywood sub-frame for all door openings by means
of G.I. screws and plastic rowel plugs. The width of the sub-frame shall be
equal to the thickness of the applied wall plus the thickness of the render on
both sides.

9.2.5 To ensure the verticality and to control the thickness of the rendering, fix
minimum 13mm thick screed spots, at a maximum spacing of 2.50 meters in
both directions, to the walls and leave to wet cure for a minimum period of
24 hours.

9.2.6 Mix rendering material in a small dry mechanical mixture in proportions of

one part of Portland cement to 2 parts of screened black sand, 2 parts of

exceed 0.42. Add air-entraining plasticizer Rheomix 720 at the rate of 150
to 250 ml per 100 kg of cement and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous
mix is achieved.

9.2.7 Prior to the application of rendering material, to control the water absorption
of the rendering, thoroughly spray the wall surfaces with potable water and
leave for 5 minutes.

9.2.8 Apply the rendering material to the whole height of the wall. In areas of
false ceiling, apply rendering material up to 150mm above the false ceiling
level.

9.2.9 Level the rendered surfaces properly (level control by screed spots) by
using aluminium tube. After levelling, the surface shall be finished smooth
by means of wood or steel float and finally finished with a dry sponge. Wet
cure the rendered surfaces with potable water, three to four times daily, for
72 to 96 hours.

10.0 Responsibilities

10.1 The CM will coordinate with SE and ensure that all necessary resources to
implement the approved method statement, JHA, and AHA have been allocated to
the task.
