Workmanship

All work is to be performed by experienced and trained specialists or under supervision by

specialists or trained personnel.

1.1.4

Scaffolding

Scaffolding is to be erected to external facades and any other areas where it is required
before any work is commenced, so that good access is obtained to the whole of the working
area

Scaffolding is to be supported independently of the working area and is to provide

platforms at about 2 metre intervals. A gap of at least 250mm should be left between
the work face and the scaffolding to allow sufficient clearance for working.

Scaffolding to be designed and erected in accordance with BS 5975.

1.2

SAMPLE PANELS AND CONTROL SAMPLES

1.2.1

Samples

Sample panels minimum size 600 x 600mm are to be prepared for all textured coatings to be
used in the Works.

If the Engineer so requires, a control samples of a finishing materials shall be prepared in an

agreed location within the Works (e.g. the floor tiling to a complete room). The area to be
used as a control is to be completed and approved to the standard of workmanship and
appearance obtained before the application of the material is proceeded with elsewhere in
the Works.
