METHOD STATEMENT FOR REMEDIAL OF HONEYCOMB AT STRUCTURE MEMBER

Case A: Superficial Honeycomb

To identify the affected area
2.
Removed all the loose particles surrounding the affected area and make sure it was
free from dust, grease and oil.
3.
Estimated the quantity of non-shrink grout and water to be used, gradually add the
grout into the water and mix it by using spatula or slow speed drill to the consistency
required (refer to the mixing ratio guide for water: grout ratio)
4.
Trowel able of stiff consistency mix is adopted to apply onto the affected area by
using the steel trowel and leveled it to flush with the original structure member
5.
Repeat item 1 to 4 for any new affected area
1.

Case B: More Severe Honeycomb (Cavity)

1.

To identify the affected area

Removed all the loose particles surrounding the affected area and make sure it was
free from dust, grease and oil.
2.

Prepare and install the formwork for the grouting work around the defective area
and leave about 25mm gap to pour the non-shrink grout.
3.

Estimate the quantity of non-shrink grout and water to be used, gradually add the
grout into the water and mix it by using spatula or slow speed drill to the consistency
required (refer to the mixing ratio guide for water: grout ratio)
4.

5.

Pour the mix with non-shrink grout at high workability by using gravity flow

6.

Remove formwork after 24 hours and patch the 25mm gap with stiff mix non-shrink

grout.
7.

Repeat item 1 to 4 for any new affected area

Materials
1.

(CAPACITY OF HYDROSEEDER 1, 000 liters)

HYDROSEEDING MIX
1.
Pump water into hydroseeder to level.
2.
Free gear and start engine.

3.
Put in mulch (if paper mulch is used 15 to 20 kg dry weight is recommended)
4.
Next add in 30 kg Soil Tackifier (R1187)
5.
Put in 8 to 10 kg grass seeds. You may add millet if you wish for fast establishment of
greens/ vegitation.
6.
Add one bag (40-50 kg) of Bio-Super 1 fertilizer with the mixture.
7.
Finally top up with water.

METHOD OF APPLICATION
Before engaging the gear, the person who will do the spraying must hold tight the nozzle
and have firm footing on stable ground as he will expect a strong back-kick the moment the slurry
shoots out of the nozzle.

Do not shoot the slurry directly to the soil surface. Instead, it should be done in the form of
raindrops in a uniform pattern. Ensure even coverage of slurry on soil surface. One machine load
with proper application can cover approximately 600 to 700 m2.

Watering (also in the form of raindrops) on the hydroseeded area can start immediately the
next day and must be continued daily in the initial stage to ensure speedy germination and growth.
Light watering will not help much due to our hot climatic condition. Therefore, sufficient and
proper watering must be done ensuring water seep into the soil yet avoiding overflow of water on
the soil surface.
NOTE: Hydroseeding shall never be applied during, before or immediately following rainfall. Avoid
application in high winds. Machines and tools should be flushed and clean with water immediately
after use. All moving parts should be oiled and greased regularly.
