    METHOD STATEMENT FOR CEMENT RENDERING

    PROCEDURE
     The floor must be cleaned well before the cement rendering is started.
     The cement mortar remains on the floor surface and other loose materials should be
    removed from the concrete surface using the chipping hammer or crowbars
     The floor is chipped using the crow hammers to get the required roughness of the
    surface, and is cleaned well with water.
     5mm thick glass strips should be laid on the surface at a 200mm distance from all four
    sides of the walls. Also a glass strip should be kept right in the middle of the room.
    After the completion of the rendering work, glass strip should be visible. Top levels of
    the rendering and the glass strip should be the same.
     For corridors, glass strips should be laid at a distance of 150mm from either side of
    the walls. A glass strip should also be kept in between two columns of the corridor
    with 2 rooms distance.
     First of all, cement skirting should be done at a height of 100mm from the floor finish
    level and should have a thickness of 15mm.
     Cement mortar with a cement-sand ratio of 1:4 is used
     Before applying the cement-sand mortar, cement powder mixed with a bonding agent
    should be applied on top of the concrete surface in order to provide the maximum
    bonding between the concreted surface and the cement mortar.
     However, as soon as the cement-bonding agent mix was applied and before it dries,
    the cement-sand mortar should be applied on top of it. This would ensure maximum
    bonding between the concrete surface and the cement-sand mortar.
     The applied cement-sand mortar should be compacted well.
     Cement paste is applied with a thickness of 3mm on the cement-sand mortar when it
    achieves the required dryness.
     Using the masonry finishing handles, the floor surface is finished smoothly.
     Colour variations should be avoided as much as possible. To avoid the colour
    variation, pigment should be applied.
     Curing should be done carefully in order to avoid any thermal cracks appearing.
     Water is poured on the rendered surface and polythene is laid on top of it, to avoid
    evaporation.
     Curing period should be no less than 4 days.
     For dropped areas, curing is done by ponding the area.
     After a period of 2 weeks, hollowness of the surface should be checked by the QA
    officer.
     If any hollowness is observed, then that area is removed using grinders, to avoid the
    effect of vibration to other areas.
