Method Statement of Using Tie Rod For Formwork Rev.01

The document provides a method statement for using form ties for large pile cap formwork projects over 20 cubic meters. It outlines that form ties made of rebar R8 will be installed across the formwork at 800mm intervals at the 1/3 height and 1600mm at the 2/3 height, or as required by the consultant. After removing the formwork, the protruding form tie rebar will be cut flush leaving 50mm diameter holes, which will then be cleaned and filled with Sika 215 non-shrink grout to render the surface smooth.
