7. METHODOLOGY:
7.1 BEFORE COMMENCEMENT:
1. Activity of casting of starter (with the same grade of concrete of structure) of 100mm (not
applicable in fair finish) to be carried out as per approved GFC drawing within the alignment
for the support of rest of the Form-work.
2. Form-work is to be carried out as per approved GFC drawings.
3. Form-work shall be made to the exact dimensions within the permissible tolerances. The
Dimensional tolerances mentioned in the Inhabit report are applicable for the entire mockup.
4. Broken & damaged shuttering shall not be used.
5. Check for formwork capacity such that concrete is properly and thoroughly compacted.
7.2 ERECTION OF FORMWORK:
1. Formwork shall be of timber, plywood, steel or any other materials depending upon the type
of finish specified.
2. Erect staging/shuttering as per the shuttering scheme.
3. Erect staging/shuttering in such a way that De-shuttering can be done easily including
provision for re-propping, if planned. Formwork shall be capable of being removed without
shock or vibration of the harden concrete.
4. Check the location, line, level, plumb and dimensions of the formwork including cover block
(cement mortar) to ensure that the deviations are within the permissible limits.
5. Provide props and bracing at proper places & intervals as specified by the manufacturer or as
per the formwork scheme.
6. Form-work should sufficiently rigid and tight to prevent the loss of slurry from the concrete.
The gaps/ joints will be filled with joint fill material (Gaps less than 5mm should be sealed with
masking tape or cement grease or equivalent with approved gap sealer / sealant. If gap found
more than 5mm, ply rib of required size or equivalent should be used). Bottom of the shutter
to be packed using cement-sand mortar to prevent slurry loss from the bottom of the shutter.
7. It should be capable of providing concrete of the correct shape & surface finish within the
specified tolerance limits. Apply the mould oil/other coatings as release agents before
reinforcement steel is placed and it shall not get on to the reinforcement. For column
supports, the shutter must be cleaned and from release agent must be applied once the
reinforcement is inspected and ready for installation of shuttering.
8. Apply the mould oil/other coatings as release agents before reinforcement steel is placed and
it shall not get on to the reinforcement. For column supports, the shutter must be cleaned
and from release agent must be applied once the reinforcement is inspected and ready for
installation of shuttering.

Method Statement for Formwork Date:
9. Check all the shutters are properly aligned and fixed firmly with required lateral supports and
ties. For all erected formwork and during concreting work, levels shall be checked with Laser
Level.
10. Check all the spanning members have proper bearing at the supports as per approved
drawings.
11. Wedges or jacks shall be secured in position after the final check of alignment.
12. Check all the inserts/embedment and openings are exactly placed as per approved drawings
before closing of shutter.
13. Forms shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, mortar and other matters such as metals, saw
dust and foreign materials before concreting.
7.3 INSPECTION OF FORMS DURING CONCRETING:
In case of leakages, bulging and sagging is observed during concreting, the concrete pouring must
be stopped and immediate actions shall be taken by tightening wedges or adjusting by jacks,
which must be done before the concrete takes its initial set.
7.4 REMOVAL OF FORMS:
1. Formwork components shall not be dropped shall be lowered without damage to the
components and structures. All the removed formwork materials shall be thoroughly cleaned
as soon as possible & stacked properly for reuse.
2. All forms shall be removed after the minimum period stipulated mentioned below without
damage to the concrete including removal without shock.
Form-work:
a. Wall, Columns and Vertical faces of all 16 TO 24 HOURS
structural members
b. Soffit form-work to slabs (Props to be re- 7 days
fixed immediately after removal of form-
work)
c. Beam soffits (Props to be re-fixed 10 days
immediately after removal of form-work)
d. Suspended slabs soffits (i.e. Cantilever) Formwork shall remain until structures for
counter acting or bearing down have
erected and have attained sufficient
strength (14 days minimum).
Removal of props under slabs:
e. Spanning up to 4.5m 10 days
f. Spanning over 4.5m 14 days
Removal of props under beams:
g. Spanning up to 6m 14 days
