 1. PURPOSE & SCOPE OF WORK
The raised floor system is a building feature where a secondary floor is installed above the
structural (concrete) floor, creating an accessible void (plenum) beneath. This space is used to
manage and conceal MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) services such as:
• Electrical wiring
• HVAC (air distribution)
• Data cabling
• Fire suppression systems

✓ Scope: This method statement covers detailed methodology to be adopted in raised

floor Installation as per the applications in sequence complying with the project
requirements.
✓ Purpose: The purpose of this method statement is to set the guidelines to be followed
for raised floor Installation and the responsibilities of the personnel involved and to
ensure that all works are executed in accordance with the contract requirements and
that all QA/QC activities are conducted in a systematic manner & works are inspected
and documented.

8. METHOD AND SEQUENCE OF WORKS

8.1 Pre-Requisite Works (Site Preparation)

Before start of works the following works need to be completed and assessed from all concerned
parties.

✓ Co-ordinated Shop drawing shall be obtained from Electrical, Mechanical and plumbing disciplines
prior to proceed with Raised flooring.
✓ Concrete surface shall be checked for any undulation and shall be informed to civil contactor for
getting required level surface.
✓ Level shall be established on walls at 1 meter height from finish floor level and finish floor level
shall be marked at desired height.( Bench marks level)
✓ All floor surfaces shall be clean, free from loose and powdery material and slab level shall be
checked whether the surface elevation is enough to accommodate the required height of the
Raised floor system.
✓ If the structural slab is found to be higher that will affect the height of the pedestal, main contractor
shall make necessary correction such as cutting the portion if the slab.

8.2 Installation and Fixing Procedure
✓ The benchmark level will be transferred and marked at the corners by using laser level / auto level
as the case may be.
✓ The floor height will be marked on all the walls of each area by snapping the chalk lines.
✓ Carry out the floor grid- marking activities (locate each pedestal)
✓ Install access flooring system and accessories under supervision of access flooring installer’s
authorized representative to produce a rigid, firm installation that complies with performance
requirements and is free of vibration, rocking, rattles and squeaks.
✓ Flat steel pedestal head will accommodate stringers. Zinc plated steel stud and anti-vibration nut
assembled and detent feature. The steel stud will be sized to accommodate existing pedestal base.
✓ The pedestal base must accommodate the pedestal base steel stud referred to above. FFH =
150mm to 200mm. Bottom base plate size 75x75mm and the top base plate size 95x95mm.
✓ A freely Pedestal Head Gasket of suitable rubber construction with permanent attachment to the
Corner lock pedestal head will be provided. This will provide an isolation barrier between panel
and pedestal head. The Gasket materials will have an electrical resistance of <104Ω
✓ Attach pedestals to subfloor by adhesive. Adjust heights by turning the adjustable nut of the
pedestal tube.
✓ Check alignment and level of the pedestals and the secure stringers to pedestal heads.
Subsequently floor panels can be installed by minor level adjustments.
✓ Ensure that pedestals, stringers & all the panels supporting are in proper location and level.
✓ Scribe under floor cavity dividers to closely fit against subfloor surfaces and seal with mastic to
maintain plenum effect within under floor cavity.
✓ Scribe vertical closures to closely fit against subfloor and adjacent finish floor surfaces. Set in
mastic and seal to maintain plenum effect within under floor cavity.
✓ Clean dust, dirt and construction debris caused by floor installation, including vacuuming subfloor
area, as installation of floor panel’s proceeds.
✓ Lay out floor panel installation to keep the number of cut panels at floor perimeter to a minimum.
✓ Securely fix the panels to pedestals with corners matched & panel joints hairline tight.
