4) Working space to be clear of rubbish waste mortar etc so that easy access is
ensured
overloading.
6) Lifting, manual transporting of blocks etc have to be carried out by workers who
are properly trained. Otherwise this may cause serious injuries to workers since
7) Chasing in the block work has to be carried using appropriate cutting tools only.
While chasing the worker must wear proper safety appliances like shoes, goggles,
helmets etc.
9) Before commencement of brickwork /block work in front of lift shaft safety permit
should be taken.
12) Net should be provided below the work place at height PPE’s should be used
properly
1. DEPLOYMENT OF EQUIPMENT
IMPLEMENTATION
Preparatory works:
ventilators, exhaust fan openings & other openings, details of door, window,
ventilator frames and their fixing means, anchor bolts etc and their levels,
details of cross walls to ensure proper bond in main walls, location details of
TV Antenna wires and cables, location details of items such as water supply
pipes with details of inlet, outlet and crossings of service lines, sanitary pipes
with details of inlet, outlet and crossings of service lines, openings or holes
conditioning ducts, pipe sleeves to be left in walls for other service pipes
Mark on the surface to establish the wall lines to attain proper layout of block
work & maintain mark till the first course is fully laid
Scrub & clean with proper tool, the concrete or block work surface where new
block work is to be done. Where usage of steel anchor or mesh etc, are
specified for bonding block work with concrete, fix the anchors in position so
Before commencing block work, check reference points such as bench mark,
lintel level, bed block level, cross beam level etc & be sure where to terminate
the top most block course, after the same is studied in detail as stated
above.
Blocks should not be damp at the time of starting masonry. When much water
is present on the blocks then mortar will become watery leading to a weak
Mix quantity of mortar, which will be consumed in next 2 hours only. Mixing
be clean.
Add water to the dry mix of cement sand in required quantity. Neither wet
workers for execution. Ensure safety aspects such as stability, proper joints
Carry out one row of block work with ‘‘dry bond’’, the wall to establish the
Lay mortar for full bed width and for a length of 3 blocks at a time, and to
12mm thickness.
Lay one block at a time & gently pressing it in the mortar bed.
Use a line thread from one end to end with a line pin.
All block work shall be plumb, square and properly bonded. The joints shall
not be broken.
Excess mortar coming out on the edge (while pressing block in position in bed
mortar) to be taken by trowel & buttered to the cross directional joint or head
Use straight edge & sprit levels on top of the blocks laid & check the top
level. Make sure that the spirit level is in working condition & read the bubble
carefully.
Lay the last closure block in the course, to close the bond and locate it to be
near the center of the wall normally. Butter both edges of closure block with
Repeat the above points for building more courses. After every two course of
block work laid, check the verticality using plumb bob, sight down the wall.
Where block are to be used for load bearing walls, the uppermost layer of
treated as directed.
Height of Construction
No part of wall during construction shall raise more than one meter above the
6.0 Curing:
In hot & dry weather the mortar is likely to dry up before it has attained its final set
in the block work. This leads to crumbling of mortar and resulting in weak block
masonry. This shall be prevented, by keeping the new block work constantly wet, for
In load bearing structures the top layer of block work has to be plastered
smooth. (This is to prevent the slab concrete getting attached to the block
work thereby causing cracks just one block after the top most layers).The
junction of block work with the RCC beam or ceiling must be filled with dry
sand or very lean mortar. This is to prevent the cracks afterwards in the wall
plastering
To receive lintel or beam in position in the block work, the bearing must be
