8. METHODOLOGY

Application Methodology for Fire rated drywall partition.

 Before starting the fire rated drywall partition installation work activity, work location should be
inspected by execution team with safety person.

 Area should be cleared & clean before starting the work.

 Sufficient material should be available at site before starting the work.

 Sufficient power & lights should be available at site before starting the work.

 Start the marking on floor as per approved flooring plan GFC/VFC.

 Fix the floor channel (94mm x 32mm x 32mm x 0.5mm) on the floor with anchor fastener
(8x45mm) 600mm c/c in zigzag manner.

 Transfer this line on the ceiling with the help of Laser machine or plumb.

 Similarly fix the Deep ceiling channel (94mm x 50mm x 50mm x 0.5mm) on ceiling with anchor
fastener (8x45mm) 600mm c/c in zigzag manner along with Piece of fire line board to avoid direct
contact of ceiling channel with slab.

 Cut all studs 10mm shorter than actual, place the stud into floor & ceiling channel (92mm x 36mm
X 34mm x .5mm) at c/c 610mm (As per specs) for increasing the length of stud, ensure overlapping
of stud is 600mm.

9
 Ensure that studs are placed in one direction (Orientation), check the vertical alignment of stud
with the spirit level.

 Fix the noggin channel using metal to metal screw on every 1200mm height.

 Put the supports (Plywood) for switch, sockets, DB Etc.

 fix one side boarding with 25mm drywall screw at 600mm for first layer boarding & 35/50mm
screws at 300mm for second layer boarding. Staggered the board joints. Fill first layer board joints
with jointing compound to avoid fire & sound leakage.

 Boards will be pass on height through scaffolding, labours will be stand on every platform for
pasing the boards.

 Keep minimum 5mm gap between floor & board, fill this gap with fire sealant & jointing compound.

 All boards should be installed in vertically on the stud.
