Method Statement for Interlock Works

There are projects that sometimes can proceed for interlock or paving block
works while progressing the main project. This is sometime a technique of the
management to avoid workers to be idle if they have extra people while the
project is at starting stage.
So here are the method statement for interlock work that you might want to learn how it will be
done.

1. Title
Method Statement for Interlock Works
2. Purpose and scope
The purpose of this method statement is to describe the measures and ways
of proper installation of interlock or paving block within our project. The
workwill be as per the project specification and approved drawing.
3. Work procedure
1.

Preparation
o

Before interlock work starts, make sure that sub-grade is

compacted when the area is above natural ground.

The sub-base shall be compacted with vibratory roller, size of

roller shall be suitable for the area where it could maneuver and can
move back and fort.

Once compacted and met the specification requirement for

compaction and approvedby Engineer, base course shall then be
placed above compacted sub-base but make sure thickness of the
bases are as per approved drawing.

MEP rough-in or underground embedments (wherever applicable)

shall be in placed before interlock work commences.

In the areas where there are kerb stone, the blinding shall be
constructed first serve as the base but make sure it shall be as per
drawing.

The importance of pre-installation of kerb stone is to prevent the

migration or dis-alignment of interlock or block, and it will serve as
reference line or level.

After compaction of base-course, the black sand shall be laid on it

of 50 mm thick. There are cases that the bedding is mixed with

cement to adhere cohesiveness but it will be as
per specification requirements.
2.

Installation of Interlock or Paving block

The minimum thickness of interlock shall be 60mm with various

colors. Approvedinterlock or paving block shall be used in

the installation.
The dimension, thickness and design shall be as per approve

shop drawing.
Land surveying shall be made to mark the required levels,

alignments, setting out lines for interlock as per approved drawing.

Once the whole area is completed, fine sand can then laid on the

installed interlock or paving block. Sand shall be spread evenly on

the whole area.
Plate compactor shall be used to compact the installed interlock

or paving blocks.
Once compacted, cleaning shall be followed to remove all excess

sand and damaged pieces.

Inspection request will then be submitted to the Engineer for

approval.
4. Safety
1.

All works shall comply with safety procedure or instruction set out in
project safety plan andMunicipality rules and regulations.
