Method Statement For Ductworks

General:
Items: - The Method Statement for Air Distribution Installation Works.

Aim:
The aim of works is to describe mechanical works associated with installation of Air
Distribution Installation Works and to ensure compliance with contract requirements,
specification and quality control.

Scope of Works:
The scope of work for this method statement shall include all the Ductworks for the
SAIGON M&C TOWER Project.

Methodology:
