SUBJECT:
CONTROL OF GLASS BLOCKWORK

Preparation of Work, Materials and Components:

i)
When the materials and components are
distributed to the work area, ensure that the
structure is not overloaded.
ii)
Plan for scaffolding material required for work at
heights. Plan for additional manpower for lifting
blocks at heights.
iii)
Set out anticipating the position of openings etc.
in the work above to avoid adjustment of units
leading to incorrect or uneven bonding.

Mortar shall be mixed by machine except for

small quantities only. Hand mixing (if permitted)
may be done on a watertight platform.
ii)
When mixed at site, batch boxes shall be used to
ensure correct and consistent mix proportions.
iii)
Use mortars (other than retarded mortars) within
2 hours of mixing or as specified.
Building walls:
i)
Build work within permissible deviations as
specified.
ii)
Unless otherwise specified/permitted, lay blocks
on a full bed of mortar and fill all joints. Place
reinforcement as detailed in position, use spaces
as necessary to keep courses levelled and
perpend vertically aligned. Plumb quoins and all
faces as the work proceeds. It is preferable to
align vertically every fifth or sixth perpend and
`even out the size of intermediate joints. Try to
keep horizontal joints of uniform thickness.
iii)
Do not carry one course more than the height
specified in the contract specifications.
iv)
Where pointing is specified rake out joints as
work proceeds. The mortar used for the pointing
should be mixed as detailed in the specification.
v)
All work shall be bonded to adjacent structures
by means of stainless steel cramps at specified
spacing unless specified otherwise.
