Method Statement
for Post-Fixed Rebar: Drill & Fix with Chemical Anchor
1. Introduction
This method statement covers the step-by-step procedure and action refers to Pile
Cap PC5B-DP30 with Stump Column CR3 on Grid (X12-X13 & Y9-Y10) using for stair
support for Ground Floor, 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
Page 1 of 5
additional starter bar location, reconnaissance to confirm and ensure that
the existing rebar doesn’t get disturbed and then do core drilling to required depth.
3. Technical Specification & Reference Details
3.1 Refer to the drawing approved by the consultant. Pile Cap & Stump Column
locations as per Drawings, and stump column starter rebar shop drawings also to be
referred.
3.2 Stump Column Starter Rebar to be fixed is as per the approved drawing, 16DB16
rebar to be fixing. Due to drawing misunderstanding at site, only dowel rebar 8DB16
was already fixed before casting concrete pile cap. Hence there are 8DB16 more
shall be added/drilled to follow approved design drawing. So, use the diameter of
the hole to be 20mm for 8 holes.

3.3 Hole depth will be a minimum 150 mm. Reference locations of column starter
rebar is available for consultant review.

6. Procedure
6.1 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.
6.2 Drilling is commenced using for concrete spiral drill bit with carbide head. This
will ensure smooth drilling and penetration into concrete areas, but won’t disturb
rebar.
6.3 Wherever the hole making the procedure as narrated above does not work due
to onsite rebar, then the necessary minor shifting of the location is attempted to get
clear of the rebar and normal drilling continued.
6.4 In such specific cases where normal drilling is stopped due to rebar, 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 power connection to the machine are in order. Start 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.
