• MANAGER/COMPANY. All mandatory precautions shall be taken.

PROCEDURE

Preparation

• Before interlock work starts, make sure that the sub-grade is compacted when the area is above the sub-base shall be compacted with a vibratory roller, and the size of the roller shall be suitable for the area where it could maneuver and move back and forth.
• Once completed and fulfilled the specification requirement for completion and approved by the project/site 
• Engineer, the base course shall then be placed/applied above the completed/compacted sub-base but ensure that the thickness of the bases/primal is as per the approved drawing and required standards and quality of work.
• In the areas where there is kerbs stone, the blinding shall be constructed first to serve as the base but make sure it shall be as per drawing.
• The significance of pre-installation of kerbs stone is to save you the migration or dis-alignment of interlock paintings or block mendacity interest/work, and it will serve as a reference line or level for the paintings that is being executed for interlock or plastering.
• After completion of the primary course, the black sand shall be laid on it of 50 millimeters thick. There are cases where the bedding is mixed with cement to adhere to cohesiveness but it will be as per specification requirements.

Installation method

• The minimum thickness of the interlock shall be 60 mm with various colours.
  
• Approved material, chemicals, and or substances for interlock or paving block shall be utilized in the installation accordingly.
  
• The aspects, dimensions, thickness, and design for the interlock and plastering work shall be as per the approved shop drawing and required standards and quality.
  
• Land surveying shall be made to mark the required levels, alignments, and setting outlines for interlock as per the approved drawing.
  
• Once the entire location is completed, excellent sand can then lay on the mounted interlock or paving block. 
  
• The Sand for interlock/plastering paintings can be unfolded flippantly on the complete region.
  
• A plate compactor will be used to compact the set-up interlock or paving blocks.
