4. Sequence of Work
4.1. For Reinforced Concrete Wall
4.1.1 Preparation
A. Verify that area is ready to receive the work and field measurements are as
shown on the FC Drawings. Line and grade references must be stablished
by project surveyor.

B. Clean the area and remove all obstructions.

C. Layout the wall, based on the reference points given by the project
surveyor.

D. Prepare all the materials that will be used.

4.1.2 Execution
A. Install a strip off phenolic board at the base of the wall to avoid the
misalignment of the first layer of the precast wall form.

B. Install nylon string at the top level of the precast wall form that will be
installed, this will be the guide to ensure the precast wall form is in a uniform
line. Use 150mm precast concrete forms.

C. Lay the precast concrete form, make sure that the first layer is leveled and
squared with respect to the grade level.

D. Ensue that the horizontal and vertical rebars are in the middle of the precast
wall form, install horizontal and vertical rebars as per RC wall design rebars
spacing.

E. After laying 2-3 maximum layers of precast wall forms, check plumbness and
alignment of the wall, make sure that all the precast wall forms connection
has a smooth surface connection.

F. Upon reaching the planed elevation of wall, if needed adjustment has been
done, prepare for concrete pouring. Provide support props in the connection
of precast wall forms if needed. Concrete shall be 28MPa and 34.5MPa @ 28
days for RC walls and parapet walls respectively, as per design
specifications.

G. Pour the concrete manually and gently to prevent any movement on the wall
form. When all the forms have already filled with concrete, provide a shear
key to serve as construction joint if another lift of wall shall be done.
 H. Provide construction joint or shear key between the joint of layer that will be
extended and new layer that will be installed.

4.2. For Non-Load Bearing CHB

4.2.1 Preparation
A. Verify that area is ready to receive the work and field measurements are as
shown on the FC Drawings. Line and grade references must be stablished by
project surveyor.

B. Clean the area and remove all obstructions.

C. Layout the wall, based on the reference points given by the project surveyor.

D. Prepare all the materials that will be used.

4.2.2 Execution
A. Install a strip off phenolic board at the base of the wall to avoid the
misalignment of the first layer of the precast wall form.

B. Install nylon string at the top level of the precast wall form that will be
installed, this will be the guide to ensure the precast wall form is in a uniform
line. Use 100mm and 150m width precast forms as replacement for CHB in
accordance with the design CHB wall thickness.

C. Lay the precast concrete form, make sure that the first layer is leveled and
squared with respect to the grade level. If necessary, cut the Precast Forms
using diamond disc blade to fit the layout. Infill performed every layer of form
block piled up. The infill mortar per layer in necessary to prevent dealignment
of form block.

D. Ensure that the horizontal and vertical rebars are in the middle of the precast
wall form, install horizontal and vertical rebars as per RC wall design rebars
spacing.

E. After laying of precast wall forms, check plumbness and alignment of the wall,
make sure that all the precast wall forms connection has a smooth surface
connection.

F. Upon reaching the planed elevation of wall, if needed adjustment has been
done, prepare for concrete pouring, use concrete mixture (1:3:6)
approximately 2500 psi.
 G. Pour the concrete manually and gently to prevent any movement on the wall
form. When all the forms have already filled with concrete, provide a shear
key to serve as construction joint if another lift of wall shall be done.

H. Provide construction joint or shear key between the joint of layer that will be
extended and new layer that will be installed.

I. Provide gauze tape or its equivalent in between form block for painting
preparation.

5. Quality Assurance / Quality Control

5.1 For Reinforced Concrete Wall:

 Inspect every precast wall form that will be installed. Dimensions, and
physical appearance shall be checked prior to installation.
 Horizontal alignment must be frequently checked. Require reference points
and guide while performing the activity.
 Reference guide for verticality must be always available to easily check
layers verticality.
 Verify and check reinforcement spacing prior to concrete pouring.
 Secure necessary inspection request prior to proceeding each and every
activity.

5.2 For Non-Load Bearing CHB:

 Inspect every precast wall form that will be installed. Dimensions, and
physical appearance shall be checked prior to installation.
 Horizontal alignment must be frequently checked. Require reference points
and guide while performing the activity.
 Reference guide for verticality must be always available to easily check
layers verticality.
 Verify and check reinforcement spacing prior to concrete pouring.
 Secure necessary inspection request prior to proceeding each and every
activity.
 Conduct weighing of coarse and fine aggregates separately with uniform
container that will be used for job mixing.
  Determine the volume of coarse and fine aggregates needed to get the right
ratio of aggregates against the cement standard package with respect to the
design mixture. Water-cement ratio shall be 0.45 – 0.50.

6. Safety Measures
5.1 PPE requirements:
 PPE needs will consist of the following: safety glasses/goggles, closed-toed
shoes, gloves, proper work clothes (no shorts).
 Additional PPE Requirements: Harness, Hard Hat
 All equipment shall be inspected before use to verify it is in good condition

5.2 Specific Procedures to be followed:

1. Secure necessary permit before proceeding the activity. Log all the activity
and the personnel that will be working in the area.

2. Conduct frequent housekeeping to ensure a safe and neat work area at all
times.

3. Always wear PPE at all times and secure that the entry/exit point has no
obstruction.

4. Provide proper container for any chemicals or materials that may harm
people and environment. Make sure to properly organize or disposed if
necessary.

5. Make sure that scaffolds are properly tagged, to avoid using of unsafe or
undone scaffoldings
