Internal plaster works.

1- Purpose: :
This proposed method of statement is prepared to carry out the Cement plastering works

2- Scope of Works:

To define the execution plan for provisions of Cement plastering works for internal plaster to
give consistent and uniform colour to surface finishes which are not to be painted,
(ENTRADA PROJECT TYPE A. A1.A2 AND C.C1 and AC ) where required
commencement of work for this item shall take place as needed during progress of work on
site and as per last version of approved time schedule.

3-References, Standards:
The following references and Standards shall be applicable for the work items in this
Method Statement either totally or partially:
- Project Specifications section 09 24 00 plastring
- BOQ Items.
- Approved shop drawings.

4- Objective: -

5.2Products:
 Gray Portland cement to ASTM C150 type 1
 Sand to ASTM C 897 graded 3 mm free of chlorides and sulphides
 Water.
 Trail mix
 Plaster Accessories:

1. Fiber lath for interior plaster

2. Metal corner reinforcement: expanded large mesh diamond lath
fabricated from welded wire mesh from 1.2mm diameter galvanized
wire, specially formed to reinforce corners of Portland cement plaster
where exposed while allowing full plaster encasement.
3. Expanded Metal Lath: Galvanized steel diamond mesh comply with
ASTM C 847-95 & shall have minimum weight of 1.85kg/m².
4. Control Joints: Prefabricated, galvanized steel one-or two-pieces type
as required.

5.3Preparation:
 Assure that all materials used are from approved sources
 mixing will be done manual
 Check that all embedded pipes for mechanical and electrical work are
tested and inspected.
 Check that all opening frame or sub frame installed as approved shop drawing.
 Clean the surface of walls and concrete from any dust or contaminated materials
 Sprinkle water on wall or ceiling surface for at least one hour prior to starting spatter
dash coat
 Assure that all safety measures are according to the approved safety plan.
 A preparatory meeting should be held in site prior the commencement of works

5.4 Construction Procedures:

5.4.1 Surveying:
 Set out offset axis for plaster walls location which previously approved to start dots.
 A surveying inspection request shall be submitted to the consultant for final approval.
 Set out a bench mark on a previously approved location leveled to 1.00m from
finishing floor level& protected (location by consultant).
 A surveying inspection request shall be submitted to the consultant for
final approval (checking level)

 5.4.2 Application of Internal cement plastering:

 Apply force fully dash coat (450 kg ordinary Portland cement to 1m³ sand) manual on surface
indicated for plaster application, spatter dash coat is to cover full surface and provide
rough surface, spatter dash coat thickness to be approximately 4- 5mm.

 Spatter dash to be cured by spraying water not curing compound for three days to be
continuously wet.

 Bonding agent to be used with spatter dash for smooth surfaces as approved material.

 start applying dots to produce plaster surface level and true, Dots shall be plumb
of 50x100mm dimension and thickness not less 15mm made of cement mortar at intervals
not exceed 2x2m in horizontal and vertical direction, 50cm from ceiling and 50 cm from
F.F.L, Ceiling dots should be at the same level by inspection request.

 Dotes locations should be coordinated with grills or opening.

 Beads & stops shall be fixed plumb, square and true to line & level.

 Install corner beads at all external corners of plaster.

 Install continuous casing beads to determine plaster at head and jambs of doors & windows,
each side of expansion joints.

 Damp the complete area of spatter dash by spraying water then apply one coat instead
of 2 coats with thickness 15mm to 30mm with mixing ratios (250kg ordinary Portland
cement to 1m3 sand) for internal plaster.

 Dotes from cement shall be removed and filled with plaster mix.

 All faces shall be true and flat and angle shall be straight, level and plumb.

 All internal opening (doors and windows) should have exact dimensions as mentioned
in approved shop drawing.
 Ceiling plaster to be spatter dash coat and one 15mm thickness coat and should be checked
by surveying level inspection.

5.4.3 THICK PLASTER

 In case of the plaster thickness increase than 3cm, determine this area as square
shape then apply a rough coat plaster about 2cm as previous steps, should be
scratched in two directions to make a good bonding surface.

 After that fix galvanized wire mesh to cover this area over the rough coat plastering
and apply final coat up to required thickness and to be troweled as previous.

5.4.4 PATCHING AND REPAIR

 Prior to start painting operations, patching and repairing shall be carried to the limits
as determined and where necessary for the following areas.
1- Damaged portions of plaster shall be repaired.
2- Where plaster surfaces are marred, discolored, stained or otherwise damaged.

 The finish coat shall be removed and be replaced with new acceptable work.
Patching, repairing and joining work shall be neatly done. Repair Procedures

 Cut out broken or damaged portions of plaster and repair with new work.

 Cut out cracks not less than 2.5 mm wide and plaster full and smooth.

 Moisten edge of patch area before new plaster is applied.

 Match plaster patches to adjacent existing work that is to remain.

 Utilize bonding agent between old and new plaster with a suitable curing method
to avoid cracks (Material to be submitted for approval).

 Repaired areas to be inspected by consultant before starting paints activity.

5.4.5 Surface Curing:

4
 Internal walls and ceiling plaster work will be cured by spraying water twice per a day
for five days to be continuously wet once per day.

or other surfaces carrying plaster droppings.

5.4.7 Plaster Mix:

 Ingredients of the plaster mix shall be proportioned & measured by means of calibrated clean
boxes so that the quantities can be readily & accurately checked.
 Mortar shall be mechanically mixed.

6- Quality Control Procedures:

6.1 General:

 Each activity should be performed by the assigned employee within

the organization chart.

 Approved materials and Suitable equipment’s should be used.
