VACUUM DE - WATERED FLOORING

METHOD STATEMENT
ACTIVITIES
 The floor front will be cleaned and levels will be recorded. Final sub base leveling
 Flooring level marking will be fixed on the prepared leve base surface as per approved floor layout
growing.
 Antitermite BIFLEX TC apply in 1:49 ratio as per specification
 HDPE sheet laying in floor area as per specification
 The M25 concrete will be poured inside the panel. Concrete mixes per specification
 Double beam screed vibrator will be placed over the two rail (floor frame) of the panel for
Self-movement vibration. Where in the vibration will transfer through the both frames of the panel
to ensure the proper vibration, precise strike off and conslidation to the full depth of concrete which
will achieve the nearest flatness of the floor.
 Tailor made bottom mat ( sieve mat ) will placed overthe screed operated concrete surface to
Prevent the escape of concrete particles during the vacuum dewatering process
Over the bottom mate, the tailor made size top mate will be placed to create the vacuum zone around
the bottom mat. Where in the periphral area of tpo mat wlll be in contact with the green concrete to
ensure creation of vacuum zone
 The fixed one end of suction pipe will be fitted on the top mat the otherendwill be fixed with vacuum
pump. Now the vacuum dewatering process will be started for easy removal of water from the
concrete to ensure the reduction of water cement ratio and optimization of water presence in the
concrete.
 The vacuum will be maintained for at least 5 - 10 minutes at vacuum pressure of 2 to 3 kg/cm2
After the vacuum dewatering process power float /discfloatwalk behind type which is fitted
With round plate will be used to remove the surface undulation, prior to finish the concrete
surface.lf crusting occurs the floating operation will be delayed till the concrete carries the
Machine the higher speed floating operations will be carried out
 The passes with the floating disc will be made in the junction of two mate in order to avoid
Risk of cracking
 The trowel ling operation with walk in power trowel willtake place before the concrete has hardened
enough to carry machine, i.e. the trowel ling blades will not leave any marks on the concrete. This
operation will result in base coat preparation of floor finishing the disc floai has to put in use one two
times or more depends upon the site condition after placement of concrete to ensure the surface is
ready for power trowel operation. Repeated trowel ling with intervals betveen the passes will be
adapted to the setting of the concrete, greatly improves the surface characteristics.
 The smoothness of concrete finishing can be achieved by the operation of power trowel one or more
times as directed.
 The controljoints will be marked over the flooring as per layout and cutting tool of size 3 mm* 20mm
shall be done within 24 hour of placement of concrete.(Polysulphide sealand)
 Now, the flooring is ready for curing.
 Water curing will be done for 14days from the date of casting
 No Men and Vehicle moments at least four weeks only.
