VI. Tools

1. Big pointed trowel (Kutsara ) - not less than 6"W x 8"L

2. Hammer (Martilyo ) - must be not less than 12"L
3. Square (Eskwala )
4. Plumb Bob (Hulog)
5. Strings (Tansi ) - 1 roll (75m)
6. Oil Marker (Pitik )
7. Water level hose
8. Level Bar (Bara )
9. Measuring Tape

VII. Delivery, Storage aand Handling

1. Form a group of materials handling to focus on supply of materials per
floor as identified by Operations. Delivery must be one floor ahead
of actual working level.
2. It is advisable to boost night shift handling when Elevators and
Cranes are less use for Concreting related activities.
3. Use pallets/pallet cages and pallet trucks for handling CHB, cement
and sand to reduce satandby time of elevator for loading
and unloading.
4. If handling of sand is thru passenger elevator , put the sand in sacks
already measured in 1cu.ft. each to eliminate double measurement.
Allocate a measuring box for this purpose (i.e Free standing box with
hook for sacks and operated by single person).
5. Recover sacks for re-use.
6. Ensure stockpile of cement is free from water.
7. Do not place materials (CHB) in concentrated location. Distribute to
floors on locations near supports and easy accessible to workers to
prevent damage to structural members.
8. For the mixed mortar, allocate one (1) laborer as mason assistant
equipped with one baggy to supply mortar for every three (3) masons.
This is to eliminate downtime of masons from waiting mortar supply.

VIII. Quality Assurance / Quality Control

1. Ensure that all required submittals are approved prior to start of work
including mock up.
2. Ensure that all walls installed undergo first layer inspection prior to
full height.
3. Double check drawings and specification requirements if strictly
followed on site as the work progresses.

4. Re-tempering to replace water lost by evaporation on mortar is

encouraged until initial set begins. Mortar which has begun its
initial mixing must be rejected and may not be re-tempered.
5. Request to eperation conduct of Pre Activity Training highlighting
quality standards prior to scheduled start of installation of CHB.

IX. Installation Procedure

A. Preparatory Works

1. Ensure correctness of set Grindlines and elevations reference

(1.0meter offset elevation). Agree color coding and critical locations
that these markings shall be placed.
2. For condominiums and residential floors (where floor area is critical to
sales), set more references to ensure compliance of wall layout to
required dimensions on plans.

B. Layout

1. Study the approved Wall setting lay-out plans prior start of lay-out.
2. Using the given reference of Line and Grade (Gridlines, offset mark,
etc.), lay-out the wall line on the floor . Use oil marker (pitik) to mark
this line. This line shall be the "Finished Wall Line".

Note:

Determine the finish requirements of the wall as reflected on the

approved wall setting/layout plans (plaster, stone, cladding, bare, etc.).
From the Finished Wall Line (again using oil marker) mark another line
inward deducting the thickness of the required Finish. This line shall
be yours "CHB Wall Line".

Site team and Inspector must agree to the layout reflected on site if
Finished Wall Line or CHB Wall Line. (Red Marking)

Always provide 300mm offset (White Marking) from Finished Wall Line
for easy checking during inspection.

3. Identify locations of Concrete Mansory Openings (CMO such as doors,

windows, block-outs, M&E requirements for openings, others). Lay-out
the Centerline (Yellow Marking) for these openings and provide
markers at both edges to mark the termination of CHB laying to epenings.

METHODOLOGY WPCS-AGS-SRF-CPO2AR-01-21

Notes:

For door openings, agree or prepare shop drawing for the CMO to consider the
grouting of jambs. Always mark on the flooring the center line for door
considering the correct width of doors indicated on the door schedule plus 75mm
on both sides and this will serves as your masonry opening. Normally, a 75mm
gap at both sides and top of the jamp edge is enough for the grouting in case not
specified in the plans.

All M&E blocks -outs must have approved shop drawing of CMO, so that the CHB
installer may adjust the allowance fir finishing the CMO with plaster only (less
than 20mm allowance anly.)

4. Mark on the flooring location of stiffener columns as stated on

structural specification.

C. Mortar Mixing

1. Measure mortar materials in proper containers to maintain control and

accurancy of propotions. Do not measure materials with shovels.
Unless specified otherwise, mix mortar in proportions by volume.

2. Introduce and mix aggregate in such a manner that the materials will
be distributed uniformly throughout the mass.

3. Mix in a suitable mixing machine until a uniform blending of the

components is achieved.

4. See table below for standard mortar mix design.

D. CHB Laying

1. Straighten dowel provisions on slabs and walls and provide required

splice bar. Refer to S-AG01-102 for standard details and General Notes
on Masonry Wall Construction.

In case dowel is not installed during slab concreting, Drill vertical/

horizontal reinforcement with structural epoxy with a minimum depth
of atleast 100mm of 10db maximum. Make sure that drilled hole is clean
prior to application of structural epoxy (Sonobond A & B).

2. Provide string guide or strips to ensure alignment and plumbness

following the surveyors layout and setout points.

3. Roughen the floor surface where CHB will be laid. Clean and wet lighty
before spreading mortar bedding evenly.

4. Lay the first course of CHB starting with the corner units and fill all cells
solidly with filler mortar by rodding. A level will be used to check for
alignment, grade and plumbness.

5. Before installing the succeeding layers of CHB, CQC will be notified for
inspection to check conformance to requirements.

6. If inspection is satisfactory, proceed with the installation of the

succeeding layers, stepping back each course by one half a unit length.
A string is stretched tightly from corner to corner to assist the mason in
laying the top outside edge block for each course to proper line
and grade.

7. Position reinforcing steels accurately as per required on General Notes.

Embed horizontal reinforcing in grout as grouting proceeds. Lap splice
should be strictly followed as per specs.

8. After a section of the wall has been laid, tool the joints to assure
weather tightness, compaction of mortar and neat appearance of
the wall.

9. Provide lintel beams at window and door openings (extended 200mm

from the masonry opening) and at walls exceeding 3 m. in height with
a depth of at least 8 inches. Likewise, stiffener columns will be
provided at every 4 m. interval of wall span. Make sure to remove
formworks on lintel beams and stiffener columns after 24 hours and
patch with mortar tie rod holes. Refer to S-AG01-102 for standard
details and General Notes on Masonry Wall Construction.

10. For CHB walls terminating on reinforced columns, beams, and slab,
provide polystyrene sheet at the end of CHB wall with a 12mm gap
(vertical) and 25mm gap (horizontal) for sealant application for these
construction joints.

11. When you reach the last two layers, it will be difficult o install the CHB
from top because the vertical reinforcement already reached the
dowels drilled on the soffit. At this stage, place the seismic isolator
(normally felt paper or polyethylene sheets) if required in plans.

12. Identify the locations of vertical reinforcement within the length of

the CHB face and then cut that loaction. Install the CHB parts
separately around the reinforcement and insert mortar.

Tips: For the last two layers, before placing the CHB, fill the cells while
in the scaffold level then carefully insert to place. It is very hard to
insert mortar from the top due to tight space. This way minimal
insertion is needed.

13. Carefully and patiently fill the voids on the cell on the topmost lip
of CHB before placing the Styrofoam spacers.

X. Environment, Health and Safety

1. All works shall comply with safety procedures or instruction set out in
the project safety plan and municipality rules and regulations. Avoid
direct contact with concrete materials.
2. Use power tools and lifting equipment in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations and instructions.
3. Use proper PPEs during preparation, installation and cleaning.
4. Provide adequate lighting when working at night.
5. Make sure to provide barricades, caution tapes and signages prior to
start of work especially on areas with deep excavation and with
overhead working equipment.
