Concrete Pavings Method Statement
1. SCOPE
The scope of this procedure covers the control of the installation of in-site concrete paving
surfaces including finishes to ensure compliance with the contract specifications.
2. PROCEDURE
1. All activities connected with concrete pavings will be carried out by the contract
specifications. In any circumstances where specifications are not provided or are unclear,
clarification will be requested from the consultant’s representative.
2. Where necessary a method statement shall be prepared and approved by the project
director/manager. It shall include:
• The agreed tolerance on level and surface regularity.
• Site protection and safety.
• Mix design details for wearing surfaces.
• Method of placing, compacting, and finishing concrete.
• Method of curing.
3. Source certificates of basic constituents of concrete are to be obtained from the supplier
to verify compliance with the specifications.
4. Ensure that the proposed sequence of work is commenced in compliance with the
contract program. While framing the construction schedule, additional allowance shall
be made for the following:
• Laying underfloor services.
• Curing and drying of the base concrete before the flooring is laid.
• Curing of the flooring,
• Period of protection of the completed floor from damage by other trades, including
restriction of access.
5. Special care while laying concrete finishes and wearing surfaces:
• Where a structural concrete slab itself forms the flooring or where a topping is laid
monolithically or bonded to a hardened base, the wearing surface shall be
sufficiently protected against damage during successive building operations.
• In hot or drying conditions, care shall be taken that the concrete mixes do not stiffen
or dry out to an extent that prevents full compaction. After compaction and
finishing, the surface shall not be allowed to dry out quickly and this may be
achieved by protection by plastic sheeting or other suitable means. In addition,

where concrete is laid in open locations, its surface shall be protected from the
effects of the sun and wind to limit the risk of cracking.
• Compaction of concrete shall be carried out in such a way that an excess of `laitance’
is not brought to the surface.
For the highest abrasion resistance, the final trowelling shall be made when considerable
pressure is required to make any impression on the surface. However, excessive trowelling
should be avoided to prevent the production of a polished or slippery finish. Water shall not
be applied between trowelling operations as this may cause surface weakness.
• Curing shall be done as specified.
• When the topping is laid separately and bonded, the surface of the base shall be
carefully prepared as specified to ensure a proper bond between the topping and
the base concrete.
