Method Statement For Post Rebar

This method statement outlines the procedure for post-fixing rebar using chemical anchors. It involves marking locations, drilling holes to a minimum depth of 250mm using rotary hammers, checking drawings to avoid disturbing existing rebar or tendons, and using a coring machine if needed to clear obstacles. Chemical anchors like Hilti RE 500 will then be injected following the manufacturer's specifications. Safety precautions like permits, PPE, and inspections are also described.

Method Statement for Post-Fixed Rebar: Drill &

Fix with Chemical Anchor


1. Introduction
This method statement covers the step by step procedure and action that the contractor
should adopt to undertake rebar drill and fix using chemical anchoring.

2. Scope
The Scope of this method statement covers the various requirements to be provided for
preparation like chipping and expose the existing rebar, marking to position the new
starter bar location, reconnaissance to confirm and ensure that the existing  rebar or PT
tendons (in case of PT slab) don’t get disturbed and then do core drilling to required
depth.

3. Technical Specification & Reference Details


3.1 Refer to the approved drawing issued by the consultant. Post tension tendon
locations as per PT Drawings, and slab/beam, column rebar shop drawings also to be
referred.

3.2 Rebar to be fixed is as per the approved design calculation, for example, T16 rebar
to be fixing hence use the diameter of the hole to be 20mm (this should be supported by
design calculation).

3.3 Hole depth will be a minimum 250 mm. Reference locations of slab inconsideration
or proposed and exiting core wall/column rebar is available for consultant review.

4. Materials
4.1 Hilti RE 500
4.2 Rebar (as per approved Project specification)

5. Tools & Equipment


5.1 Heavy duty breakers/jack hammers
5.2 Rotary combination hammer drilling machine
5.3 Hilti coring machine or Equivalent
5.4 A drill bit, coring bit with extension end
5.5 Air blower & compressor machine

5.6 Miscellaneous hand tools

5.7 Surveying equipment

5.8 Dispenser gun for chemical injection

6. General Procedure
6.1 Column set out is done by surveyors & chipping concrete is done with heavy duty
breakers till the existing rebar are exposed and the area cleaned.
6.2 Once the location is marked, clearance will be obtained by the contractor prior to the
commencement of drilling. The proper safe workplace is ensured and prior necessary
coordination is done with MEP.

6.3 Drilling is commenced using for flute spiral drill bit with carbide head. This will ensure
smooth drilling and penetration into concrete areas, but won’t disturb rebar.

6.4 Wherever the hole making the procedure as narrated above does not work due to
onsite rebar / PT, then the necessary minor shifting of the location is attempted to get
clear of the rebar and normal drilling continued.

6.5 In such specific cases where normal drilling is stopped due to rebar / PT, further site
reconnaissance is done with available drawings to ascertain the reason for obstruction.
The assistance of the coring machine will be utilized to help clear some mirror some
minor rebar, after join inspection by contractors and site supervisors.

7. Coring
Prior to coring, confirm water and power connection to the machine are in order. Hilti
coring machine is properly anchored to slab with mechanical anchors.S tart 16Ø core
drilling to minimal depth to clear the obstacle. Once the specific obstacle like the edge of
rebar, etc is cleared, then the coring machine is withdrawn and the area cleaned. Further
normal drilling activity reinstated to continue drilling holes to the required depth.

8. Standard Installation Procedure for Post Fixing Rebar


Attached to this submittal is a detailed method statement to be submitted by Hilti for RE
500. This will also include their design calculations which are subjected for consultant
approval.
