8 PROCEDURES PLASTERING LAYING AND REINFORCEMENT
Cleaning all faces patches holes and honeycombs
Chip smooth surfaces of concrete structure to give adherence of the mortar
Chip bended surfaces of concrete structure to give straits alignment
Base –coat of wall and concrete structure : Lay fluid cement mortar mixed with
water in a dosage around 500kg/m3 (1 part cement to 2 part of aggregate and
sand)
check the plumpness and put some bench mark for the alignment
lay the appropriated reinforcement accessories at required locations (angle, edges
joints , connection to concrete or steel structures )
Lay the 2nd bed of mortar in a dosage around 400kg/m3 of cement ( 1 part of cement
to 2 part of sand) in a stickiness of 10 mm this bed don’t need to be smooth.
24h of curing with water
lay the final bed of mortar with a dosage of 400kg/m3 of cement (1 part of cement 3
part of sand )
the final bed must be well finished to achieve approved design surface for plastering
clean all loses material
cure during 36 hours to prevent cracks or color variation
protect against dust, hot weather, men reach and injuries until required strength is
