2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to define the procedure for the sequence of Rectification for MEP chasing at
Block walls considering all safety and quality requirements.
3. SCOPE OF WORKS
The scope of this method statement is to rectify the chasing done for the MEP services. All the situations caused by
chasing for MEP services is grouped in to five case and a solution for each case to reinstate the block wall after getting
the MEP clearance and approval for the embedded conduits, boxes & pipes and prior to the commencement of the
plaster work in accordance with the contract drawings and specification.

2. Prior to start the rectification of the MEP chasing at the block wall, a clearance shall be obtained from the MEP
engineer that the installation has been completed properly, inspected and found acceptable.
3. Cases of concern
4. Based on the joint investigation done by all parties at the site, certain cases have been observed and need to be
rectified as follow:

8.1. Demolition of the block at the base of 100 mm block wall due to installation
of double switch boxes back to back.

For this case, the following procedure will be followed:

1. Shutter will be fixed at both sides of the wall, leaving a chute at the top.
2. Approved flow able concrete mix (C30/10), as per the submittal number above will be cast to fill the total void.
3. Approved metal lath will be fixed at the junction between the concrete & block as per the approved method
statement.

8.2. Chasing of block wall from one side with width of chasing not more than
100 mm.

For this case, the following procedure will be followed:

1. Cement sand mortar with ratio of 1 part cement to 4 parts sand will be mixed with water and applied at the chasing.
2. Approved metal lath will be fixed at the mortar as per the approved method statement of plaster.

8.3. Longitudinal Chasing of block wall from both sides.

For this case, the following procedure will be followed:

1. Shutter will be fixed at both sides of the wall, leaving a chute at the top.
2. Approved flow able concrete mix will be cast to fill the total voids.
3. Approved metal lath will be fixed at the junction between the concrete & block as per the approved method
statement of plaster.

8.4. Chasing at the AAC block

For that case and as agreed earlier based on the AAC block supplier recommendations, the following procedure will be
followed:
1. Cement sand mortar with ratio of 1 part cement to 5 parts sand will be mixed with approved bonding agent of 10-15
% of water and applied at the chasing.
2. Approved metal lath will be fixed at the mortar as per the approved method statement.

8.5. Chasing at the concrete structural elements.

For this case and as agreed earlier via our response to certain NCR’s the following procedure will be followed:
1. The filled mortar will be removed to check the status of the steel reinforcement.
2. Prior to the repair material application, the chased area will be cleaned properly and dampen by water.
3. Approved bonding agent PVA LATEX RIPRESA as per the approval as above will be applied. Manufacturer
instructions will be strictly followed.
4. Approved repair material, Conrep 311 mc non shrink micro concrete for grouting and general void filling, will be
mixed, prepared and applied as per the manufacturer instructions.
5. RFIA will be raised to the consultant to inspect the methodology of rectification.
