  !         'c c 6.4 THE ERECTION SEQUENCEc c h Before any erection starts, the Engineer shall review erection drawings to determine which bays require permanent bracing.c h Start erection of columns from the braced bay using guy wires and ratchet pullers for stability of frames during erection. c h Install permanent bracing as indicated in erection drawing. c h One set of bolts in the rafter splices are installed and tensioned. c h Raise rafter into position at top of columns. c h Hold rafters in place with hoisting equipment while the required bolts are installed through the column connected splice place, and tightened properly. c h Using above procedure assemble second rafter and place it on top of second set of columns.c h Bolt-up to columns and continue to hold second rafter until both rafters are braced by roof purlins.c h Install permanent bracings between rafters.c h Before proceeding further, a Theodolite shall be used to check if the structure is plumb and square. c h Temporary braces shall be used to align and plumb the columns if further alignment is required.c h Resume erection of columns, rafters and purlins in succeeding bays in the same manner as above.c h Erect the end walls columns after completing the main frames. c h Complete installation of purlins and bracings. c h Make a final check of structural frame for alignment and plumb. c h Check all connections to ensure that all bolts have been installed and that the high strength bolts are tensioned to the correct requirements.c c c h Touch-up any damaged paint on the main frame prior to sheeting.c h Two ground assembly erection crews and one painting crew will precede the lifting erection crews. The ground assembly crews will align and bolt-up the rafter pieces together and the painting crew will apply final touch up. c h Erection procedure shall be as per this sequence up to completion of building. c h Two mobile cranes of 30T capacity each shall be engaged in lifting the assembled rafter pieces.c c 6.5 SHEETING FOR ROOFc c h Prepare the roof panels by segregating by lengths shown on roof sheeting plan. c h Place the first sheet (with the given dimension) for the eave overhang. c h Use a string line projected away (by 65mm) from the eave strut to establish the

correct distance and line.c h Start at the eave and work up the roof towards the ridge from both sides of the building and both slopes finishing with the ridge panel. c h Provide bead mastic over the panel corrugations along panel end laps.c h Make sure that the panel ribs are kept in a straight line from eave to ridge. c h Install gable trims after completing the roofing. c h Eave gutters shall be spliced using two runs of mastic and pop-rivets. The gutter is then hung by means of gutter straps which are screwed through the roof panel. c h Down spouts connections are cut with aviation snips at locations shown on the roof plan. c c 6.6 FINAL CHECKING / INSPECTIONc c Engineer shall ensure after erection of the structural steel members and accessories are checked and inspected as mentioned here below: c c h All bracings are in position and tightened. c h All bolts are in place and high strength bolts are tightened properly. c h All damaged paint is touched-upped and made good.c h Check that roof and gutters are clear of debris and ferrous metals. c h Check all roof penetrations for weather tightness.c h Engineer shall Issue Application for Inspection (AFI) for each of the above activities when it completed.c c c c c c c c c 7.0 MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS:c c h Foremenc h Weldersc h Steel Paintersc h Helpersc h Driverc c 8.0 MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS:c c h Generatorc h Welding Rodsc h Cutting Sets with gas cylinderc h Steel Pipes, angles, beams and columns c h Approved Paintc c 9.0 EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT:c c h Welding Machine 2 Nos.c h Gas Cutting Set 1 No.c
