Chapter One, Materials Organization
1. The principle of material supply
1.1, Master material supply information, optimize material supplier.

1.1.1, Improve material inspection system especially for
approaching materials.
1) All the materials must be inspected according to stipulation and
stored on different site as classification.

2) For those materials which will be used in important structure or
parts have to be confirmed carefully including variety, specification,
model and performance to make sure the materials are able to fulfill the
engineering feature and design requirement.

3) For those unqualified materials, they cannot be used in
construction.
1.1.2, Pay attention to sample test to make sure the materials are
qualified
1) For all the main raw materials, semi-manufactures and out
sourcing parts, they must have factory certificate and quality inspection
report.
2), Inspect and retest raw materials on time. All the construction
materials can only be used after inspection.

3), Attention to materials' qualification in case of using wrong or
unqualified material.
5
4), Samples must be provided in advance before placing order for
main decoration material and construction parts from factory.

5), Be aware of materials' performance, quality, usage and
construction requirement in order to select and put material in use,
especially for additive agent, they must be used according to instruction
in case of bad quality.

6), New materials must be inspected and match design requirement.
1.1.3, Pay attention to materials' delivery, reducing material damage
rate
The material usage should be calculated by QS, meanwhile,
improve materials delivery, storing, management and distribution work,
enhance the management system for materials on site to avoid damage
and deterioration which contributes to materials' quality and economy.

1.1.4, Improve scientific material supply plan in order to reduce the
period of storage
Purchase, process, store and deliver materials reasonably and
scientifically, establish tight plan and dispatch system, accelerate
materials' turnover, reduce materials' use level, match construction
requirement by quality, quantity timely is the key to improve efficiency
and fluent construction.

Form tight plan for materials' purchasing, inspecting and keeping,
improve materials' quality control and purchase materials timely and
correctly to make sure the materials can be inspected and supplied on
time which guarantees smooth construction.

drawings and programme, prepare in advance for those large amount
materials such as cement and steel as well as new materials.

To purchase materials, procurement department is responsible for a
thorough investigation of the local commodity market and the material
resource, on the basis of full investigation and purchasing organization
for bidding, choose a good supply capacity and supply quality to achieve
the design requirements.

2.2, Measurement for material supply guarantee
The emergency supply plan for peak period and special
circumstances should be worked out: an emergency team including
material procurement department, construction department, supplier and
main person in charge of transportation unit should be set up. In the rush
hour and special circumstances, the emergency plan should be started
timely according to the situation.

Improving communication with suppliers: keep in touch with
manufacturers, grasp production situation in time, improving
communication with manufacturers according to programme, and ensure
production and supply of materials.

To expand the supply of raw materials, on the one hand, it is
required that the suppliers expand their production capacity. On the
7
other hand, we should implement alternative manufacturers, and
organize the material sources from the alternative manufacturers in time
when the suppliers are in short supply.

Increase the intensity of rush operation: according to the material
plan, organize transport in time, according to the manufacturer's capacity
and transportation situation, arrange full-time procurement officer to rush
for transportation when it is necessary. Formulate a scientific
transportation plan and choose various modes of transportation.

Expand inventory: according to the construction plan, material
market and supply situation, we should make the order in advance.

2 Construction Survey plan
2.1, Construction survey object and control target
The contents are the construction setting out and the axis control, the
leveling and elevation control, the settlement observation and so on, and
the setting out control targets are as follows:

1).Axis displacement: within 5 mm.
2).High elevation +- 10 mm, 30 mm high.
3).The verticality of each layer is less than or equal to 5M is 8 mm, 10
mm, 5m; full height is H/1000 and less than or equal to 30 mm

2.2, Preparation for survey
1), Equipment preparation
1 Total stations, 1 laser plummets, 1 J2 theodolites, 1 DS2 level, 3
50M steel tapes， 5 30M steel tapes， 100 5M steel tapes，the others
such as wire line, nylon line, ink and other auxiliary tools.
2), The inspection and verification of the previous datum points
According to the site datum point and level point provided by the
consultants, the setting out control network is set up, and the necessary
23
check for the existing datum point and the leveling point is carried out.
2.3, Construction survey
According to the site topography, environment and engineering
construction, through site investigation, a plurality of setting out control
points in selected locations, elevation transfer and permanent settlement
construction surveying control network observation etc. standard point
set in the stable and reliable soil layer or a stable building.

1). The construction plane survey network is set up in this project.
The control network is based on control coordinates given by architect.

The control line of the wall must be marked during the construction
of the main structure and the construction of the secondary structure.

2). Elevation control: use the elevation control O point coordinates
given by architect.
3). Setting out and control of axis
(1) Axis control
The total station control method is used in the basement stage, that
is to use the total station to measure the traverse reference points to the
base side, and then to set up the location pile survey control network on
the basis of the datum point.

The stage of the main structure
The setting out and control area of the axis of the main structure are
large, and the internal control method is adopted, and the multiple check
method (multiple control axis positive and negative checking) is used.

The axis of the main structure is controlled by GF of axis. The
24
vertical axis is used to measure the underlying axis to the floor. Then the
floor is laid out according to the control axis.

（2) layout control
Two-way observed strictly control points for all layout control
network used in the theodolite, the same as a coordinate system.

After the end of the observation, all observations were calculated by
rigorous adjustment and succeeded. Then, the control points were
normalized and adjusted to the center point. The accuracy of the
measured control network must meet the requirements of the technical
standards involved in the bidding documents and the relevant
specifications and documents.

（3) Elevation control
Based on the leveling point near the site, the elevation control point
is specified. The use of precision is not lower than DS2 grade level,
according to level measurement accuracy of elevation control points
were closed or annexed leveling line observation, according to the needs
of each part of the project construction, according to the selected control
point of security and stability as well as elevation control points, the
plane elevation control network to achieve both economic and
reasonable practical and reliable.

The first is to control the level of elevation control points, setting up
of steel pipe and concrete, forming a base level control network, each
setting out of leveling point retest, floor elevation control, the use of side
25
column vertical wells measured by steel tape on the floor, with level to
check the point, reduce errors.

In order to ensure the correctness of the relative position of the
building's overall plane and elevation, we check the control points
regularly. When we check, we can use the total station to directly
measure the coordinates and elevation functions, and directly measure
the three-dimensional coordinates of the control points according to the
triple tripod method. Because the control point should be used
frequently, in order to prevent the setting out error caused by the
collision, the construction site should take the necessary safety
measures to control the control point.

(4) Settlement observation
According to the design requirement or standard choose settlement
observation points. The settlement observation uses DS2 level station.
The observation times and accuracy requirements are carried out
according to the requirements of the technical standards in the design
and bidding documents.

2.4, Setting out control
In order to minimize the error of construction survey and improve the
accuracy of setting out, we will analyze and control all factors that cause
the setting out error.

2.4.1, Verification and identification of measuring equipment
Due to various reasons will affect equipment’s precision,so it need
to be carried out regular and irregular verification and identification. Our
26
company stipulates that in the following cases, the setting out equipment
must be identified by the competent accreditation department, and can
be continued after the qualification is certified.

(1) New equipment
(2) Equipment that have been subjected to collision or vibration
(3) Equipment and utensils that have doubts about the results of the
setting out
(4)Equipment with lots of setting out errors
(5)Utensils and equipment that are not used for a long time
(6)Equipment and appliances arriving at the valid identification
period
2.4.2. Arrangement of the surveyors
In the setting out work, the equipment quality and the experience of
the operator are the key factors to cause the setting out error. In this
project, our company has an excellent professional surveyor with rich
experience in this project.

2.4.3. Management and inspection
The setting out work of axis and elevation shall be carried out by the
survey team. No other person is allowed to proceed without
authorization. All setting out devices and appliances shall be collected by
surveyor. Without permission, any group of personnel shall not use the
setting out equipment and appliances privately.

All axes and elevation should be rechecked many times, and the
results of rechecking should be less than half of the standard error, and
27
the line can be fixed. The setting out and inspection are well recorded
and the archival work is done in time. The main axis and elevation must
be reviewed and identified by the general engineer.

d, Set out dimension and level line on, such as walls, columns and
beams, have been marked on the supported form-work.

e, According to the setting out line, check the position, quantity and
length of reserved reinforcement bars of low level, process the bars for
those failed to meet requirement, process outstretched bars, remove
stain and mortar, chisel the loose part concrete and clean up.
f, Set up the scaffolding for reinforcement fixing, prepare horizontal
and vertical transportation machine and checked.

g, The quality and safety technical disclosure to the operator.
3, Operation procedure
(1) Set up two steel yard and processing field at the site. In the field
of the tower crane, the steel bar is directly suspended from the tower
crane to the construction floor.

(2) After entering the field, the rebar is stacked in accordance with
the different specifications and different time of delivery, and it is listed to
show the origin, the time of the purchase and the situation of the re
30
examination.
(3) Before making the steel bar, we first calculate the blanking length
and fill up the bar bending schedule according to the design drawings
and and design specifications. After the audit, they are strictly numbered
and stacked according to the material list.

(4) Spacer blocks need to be provided for fix reinforcement bars.
The mix design for spacer block is 1:2 cement mortar.

(5) Wall, column reinforcement.
a, The reinforcement inside wall or column should be fixed and
mechanically connected as design required.

b, The manufacture of hooping should follow design requirement,
the bending angle at the end of the hooping should be 135 degrees, the
length of the straight part beyond bending section should not less than
10 times of the diameter of hooping, the joint of the hooping inside
embedded column should be staggered placed on the vertical
reinforcement bars on four corners, edge beams should all cross on the
top.
c, The reinforcement fixing for wall and column should be done
before form-work, the position for vertical reinforcement should be
correct.
d, Setting out the position for reinforcement bars before fixing and
arrange them uniformly, then fix them by designed distance, set up
support block with the same specification as main reinforcement every
square meter to ensure the position of reinforcement inside and outside
31
the wall is correct.

e, The order for fixing reinforcement is vertical first then hooping and
vertical first then horizontal. Temporary support must be applied when
there is inserted reinforcement in wall and column in case of falling down
to injure people or displacement.

f, Set up necessary operation platform when fixing reinforcement for
wall and column, it is strictly prohibited to climb up and down by stepping
on horizontal reinforcement or hooping which will cause the distance in
between are changed or reinforcement deformation.

(6) Beam and slab reinforcement
a, According to design requirement, frame beam is connected by
fixing or machine, the length for joints should follow the specification
requirement.
b, There are two layers reinforcement in slab, in order to make sure
the position for both layers are right, diameter 8-12 reinforcement is
placed as support in every square meter.

c, On the crossing of slab, sub beam and main beam, the
reinforcement of slab is on the top, sub beam in the middle and main
beam at the bottom, meanwhile, ensure the thickness of protection cover
of slab.
d, Inspecting reinforcement’s specification, diameter, shape and size
before fixing.
e, Supervisor need to organize to inspect conceal work on time,
reinforcement for cantilever structure should be inspected one by one,
32
rectification need to be done on time once unqualified reinforcement was
found. Send assigned person to inspect when concreting to adjust all the
reinforcement are placed in right position.

f, Supervisors will inspect reinforcement when concreting, the
position and distance between reinforcement bars must be corrected on
time once unqualified reinforcement bars were found, it is very important
to make sure all the reinforcement bars are in right position.

4, Construction corporation
The corporation is between reinforcement fixer, carpenter and
scaffolder, on one hand, carpenter need space when fixing
reinforcement and provide standard formed steel skeleton in order to
make sure form-work’s size and position; on the other hand, it should
provide convenient for reinforcement fixing when setting up form-work,
for all the beams whose height is greater than 600, one side of the beam
will have no form-work in order to fix the reinforcement at the bottom of
the beam. When the covers are placed in right position then form-work
for the other side can be carried on, one more thing that need to be
noticed is adding additional reinforcement as required wherever there is
reserve or embedding work and take care of this section to avoid
damage, guarantee slab’s thickness when concreting, and make sure
the inserted reinforcement are in right position.

5, Protection for finished reinforcement
(1),For the processed bars, put them separately according to their
33
specifications and sizes, square timber is applied so as to prevent
bending deformation and make good drains around the bar, avoid the
steel bars falling into the soil, and the storage period can not be too long,
so as to prevent the steel bar from rusting. When the steel is transported
and installed, it should be lightly loaded, avoiding random throwing and
collision, and preventing the deformation of steel bar. A temporary
scaffold should be set up when the bar is lash up to avoid stepping on
the steel bar.

(2), After the reinforcement process or reinforcement Fixing, avoid
pedestrians, stacking materials or setting up springboards on the already
tied steel bars, especially preventing the reinforcement position of
cantilevered structures. Avoid touching the pre embedded iron and hole
form-work when lashing the template.

(3), When installing MEP pipe or other pipelines, avoid cutting off
the steel bar and touching the steel bar.

(4), Do not place concrete pumping pipe on fixed reinforcement, but
set up special support.

6, Measurement for reinforcement construction safety
1), The operator of steel process machine has to be trained.
2), The reinforcement machine need perfect insulation performance
and grounded, every single machine need its own switch, hood is
applied in the rotation section and the power should be cut when stop
working.
3), When operating steel bending machine, operator should stand
34
on the opposite direction of steel bars' movement especially when
bending 400mm steel bars.

4), When cutting thick steel bar, two angle steel block pipes should
be applied to prevent steel bar move. Flammable objects can not be
placed around electric welding machine.

1), Form-work for wall
Reinforced concrete wall form-work: advanced installation
inspection, installation of doors and windows, install form-work (both
sides), adjust the corrugated to a horizontal level, installation of tie rod
through the wall, add braces and straight the form-work, the column, wall
and floor connection. Using marineplex in the project, after the
completion of inspection by consultants, client comply with the design
requirements, can also set the form-work construction, with 12/14
diameter’s tie rod, vertical and horizontal spacing is 500, at the bottom is
300, to ensure the bearing force applied to tie rod is within the allowable
37
range to avoid deformation of form-work which is good for sizing.

2), Form-work for column
(1), The installation procedure for column form-work: set up frame
for installation, form-work installation, check diagonal, verticality and
position, stirrup installation, install the form-work for column at the joint
with beam, surface inspection, fix in group.

(2), Draw the axis of vertical, horizontal and the sides on the floor
before column form-work installation, the axis for column on both sides
are drawn first then the rest.

(3), Marineplex is used for column form-work, the form-work can
only set up after the inspection of cross steel, column reinforcement,
reserved hole and embedded parts, 50*100 square timber or steel tubes
with same strength is nailed on marineply plus temporary support, then
12mm/14mm diameter steel is used for tie rod, after check the verticality
and horizontality, fasten the nut and fixed by column hoop eventually, the
distance between hoops should not greater than 600mm, for the position
1/3 below the top of the column is 300mm, fastened by steel and cross
fastener. Support piles and support frame should link together to improve
entirety.
(4), Inclined strut is applied to support the main column, avoiding
form-work crack and displacement. Set up a cleaning pot at the column
root used for cleaning waste before concreting.

3), Form-work for beam
The arrangement of form-work and all the components for beams
38
and slabs should follow the drawings given by carpenter, and inspected
by supervisor and engineer, then it can be used in construction. The
procedures are: draw axis for beam and horizontal line and inspected,
set up form-work for beam and support, nail square timber on the soffit
and fastener, install soffit form-work, form an arch at the soffit,
reinforcement fixing, install the form-work for beam’s sides, install fixing
screw at top and bottom, inclined strut, middle screw and spilt bolt,
recheck beam’s size and position, connect to neighbor form-work. Add
more support steel pipes on both sides of the beam on the basis of full
support system, the soffit should be support by a horizontal pipe and the
form-work on both sides need to be fastened by short pipe and fastener,
the support pole can not stand on the floor but timber. The form-work
should be firstly done bottom and one side, after the reinforcement
inspected, then the other side’s form-work can be carried on. The order
for set up form-work is from middle to side.

4), Form-work for staircase
(1), Locate the stair form-work based on the real height, platform
beam and foundation form-work comes first, then come with the inclined
beam of stair or bottom slab of stair, and side form-work comes last.
Draw lines show the thickness of bottom slab of stair on the inner
marineplex, draw the position of step board with set plate, fix the location
timber and nail the side plate on site.

(2), The height of stairs should be the same, especially the height of
39
the first and last step, considering about the thickness of plaster, to
make sure uniform step height.

5), Protection of finished form-work
(1), The surface of the form-work contacted with the concrete is
carefully coated with the mould release agent to avoid leakage. After
being painted, if it is caught in the rain, the mold release agent should be
re-added. After the form-work is removed, it should be cleaned and
trimmed in time, with the marineply release agent applied, and is stacked
in specifications. When hoisting the form-work, the operation should be
light, to avoid concrete collision, and prevent the deformation of the
form-work. After the form-work is fixed, keep the marineply clean,
prevent falling into bricks, mortar, sawdust and other debris, and do not
hit the assembled form-work and its support. It is not allowed to set up
springboards on horizontal tie rods to ensure that the form-work is
stable. When scaffolding is erected, it is forbidden to connect with the
form-work support, avoid driving and stacking a lot of materials and
heavy weights on the form-work. Gently remove the form-work, make the
form-work leave the concrete surface, do not hit by hammer or pry by
crowbar, avoid damage concrete.
3.4, Concrete construction

concrete dispenser, welded with embedded iron inside lift shaft.

(3), Concrete pipes can not supported by rebar, form-work or
embedded parts but fixed by frame set up by steel pipes.

(4), Operating concrete pump should strictly follow instruction and
other relevant previsions, the operator should be trained.

(5), When the slumps are too small and hard to concrete, same mix
ration of cement can be added into mixing bucket, it is strictly prohibited
to add water directly.

(6), Wash the discharge port of mixer after the concrete is run out,
the water can not be poured into hopper.

(7), Clean pump and pipes on time when finish concreting, and
inspect concrete truck for further use.

2), Inspect and test for self mix concrete
(1), Once mixed concrete arrive on site, the inspector must check
the slump, only qualified concrete can be used.

(2),The inspector must take the sample from concreting surface
42
under the witness of client and consultant to test sample’s strength,
impermeability grade and so on.

(3),The inspector need to check concrete’s slump every two hours,
the difference between real slump and designed one is allowed less than
30mm, and record test result.

3), Concrete vibration
(1), Concrete vibration for columns
Vibration should be done layer by layer, the thickness for each layer
is 300-400mm, pay attention that the time gap of vibrating upper and
lower layer should not longer than 2 hours,internal vibrator should be
inserted more than 5cm under the surface of lower concrete layer to
ensure two layers can be joined tightly. The vibrator’s movement can not
exceed 1.5 times of its radius, and time for vibration is till mortar appears
on the surface, the vibrator should be inserted fast but pull out slowly,
and vibrate uniformly, at the cross section or the connection with column,
pay attention to the stuck problem of concrete because of rebars close to
each other, concrete should be added on time by carefully watching to
avoid quality failure. Avoid hitting on steel embedded parts or form-work
when vibrating. Place 3-5cm thickness mortar in advance to connect with
concrete before concreting. The column should be concreted at one time
and the order is from sides to middle.

(2), Concreting for shear walls
The shears walls should be concreted by several times and the
period for each time should not exceed 3 hours, 3-5cm thickness mortar
43
is placed in advance. To avoid the opening of windows and doors be
crushed, concrete should be conducted on both sides at the same time.
Pay attention to the concrete status under the windows in case
appearance of empty space or forget to vibrate.

(3), Concreting for beams and slabs
The order for concreting beams and slabs is beams come first then
slabs, pay attention to the position of reserved parts and pipelines, after
concreting slabs, use plate vibrator to vibrate by several times, and
plasterer will use 3 meters long float plate to float a smooth flat surface,
compact and check the elevation and cure the concrete on time. Ensure
the right position for rebars and thickness of protect cover. Never move
the position of reserved openings or embedded parts nor step on the
rebars, if any displacement was found, rectification need to be done on
time. Attention should be paid to ensure the right position of anti-crack
rebars in cantilever beam structure.

(4), Reservation for concrete construction joint
a, Measurement and reservation position for columns
The construction joint for column is normally reserved on the
horizontal surface located on the upper section, and perpendicular to
component’s axis. Wet before concreting and then pour 3-5cm thickness
concrete with half contain of ballast, then concrete. Vibrate carefully
when concreting to ensure dense concrete. The construction joint is
placed on 1/3 to the middle of span.

b, Measurement and reservation position for shear walls
44
There is no vertical reserved construction joint in shear walls,
horizontal reserved construction joint is in slab or beam, vibrate carefully
to make dense concrete. Wet before concreting and pour 1cm thickness
mortar then concrete.

3, Protection for finished main structure concrete
When concreting, it is strictly prohibited to step on the rebars or hit
inserted rebars and embedded iron parts to ensure the right position of
rebars and embedded parts. Avoid impacting form-work by heavy
objects when concreting, set up bridge slab across corridor to avoid
people walking on beam or stair’s form-work. The strength need to reach
1.2Mpa then further step can be taken. All the falling concrete need to be
cleaned on time after concreting.

4, Measurement for safety construction of concrete
1), Testing vibrator before concreting, the operator should ware
rubber boots and isolation gloves, the vibrator can not be hang up on the
rebars and it is not allowed to touch the switch with wet hands.
2), Set up cover or rails on reserved holes, life line is compulsory
when working at height, sufficient light should be provided during night.

5, Measurement for quality control and matters need to be noticed
The aggregate grade, water and cement ration, additive agent,
slump and work ability of concrete should flow the standards of technical
requirement and calculated by corresponding Rwandan specifications
and only can be used after passing inspection; the installation of
pumping machine should meet requirements and be taken care.
45
3.5, Masonry Construction
1, General situation of masonry

Using nature stone cut by machine or solid cement block, the height
for each layer is 200mm and adhered by mortar with the ration of 1:3,
connected by 0.9mm thick*25mm wide flat and hoop iron in every two
layers or follow design and specifications.

2, procedure: recheck axis and elevation, mark elevation for layers,
masonry work, reserve opening, set up lintel, walling to soffit, clean the
wall.
3, Important points
(1), Procedure: leveling, setting out, place bricks, mark elevation,
walling, clean, inspection.

(2), Leveling: set up elevation before walling and flat with mortar or
fine stone concrete to make each level match the standards

(3),Setting out: draw lines according to construction axis and
drawings.
(4), Set up of construction column and stubble: the reserved space
for stubble should be wide on the floor, then narrow, and turn up as
orders, the width and height of stubble is 60mm and 300mm.

(5), Brick laying: leave a space for plaster and pay attention to the
position of windows and doors when laying bricks. The layout for the
bricks should be staggered, and the laying method should be same in an
independent wall.
46
(6), Set up elevation pole before laying bricks, mark important
figures on the pole. Leveling should be taken when setting up elevation
pole to make the pole is on the same height of designed position, poles
should be set up in four corners and the distance in between should not
exceed 15 meters.
(7), Clean up the wall when finished.
a, Important parts for quality control: quality control of masonry and
mortar, the methodology and reinforcement for structural column.

b, Certification and inspection report should be provided when
masonry approach, the age of solid concrete brick should match
specification requirements.
c, Humid treatment should applied to bricks 1-2 days in advance
and the water content should match with mortar.

d, Confirm the mix design for mortar before laying bricks which is for
mixing in construction, inspection should be conducted.

e, Draw the layout for brick laying before start, the number of rows
of bricks should be calculated by the masonry size, vertical and
horizontal mortar joint to ensure the size of the wall; the layout should
follow requirement, starting from various levels, whole piece of brick
must be used in the opening.

f, Axis line and side line must be drawn before laying bricks, clean
up the base. Work can only be started after inspection by engineer.

g,The control for the size of openings, clear height of wall and
verticality of wall must follow requirements.
47
4, measurement for masonry quality control

1), the variety and strength must match design requirement.
2), the variety strength of mortar must match design requirement.
3), the mortar for masonry must be dense, the fullness of mortar in
the joint should not less than 80%.

4),the mortar in the joint must be dense, the average width of the
joints is 15-20mm.
5), the quantity and length for flat iron should match specifications
and should be put every two brick layers or follow design.

6), the position for construction column should be correct, the
reserved space for stubble should be wide on the floor, then narrow, and
turn up as orders, residual mortar should be cleaned up.

7), no horizontal groove is allowed on the wall surface.
8), preventive measure.
(1), displacement of wall axis. Reason: the recheck of wall and axis
does not be conducted.

(2), uneven thickness of joints. Reason: the mark on elevation pole
is not correct and the reference line is not fastened.

(3), the level of same brick layer is different by on layer. Reason:
leveling does not be conducted and elevation pole does not be used
when laying bricks.

(4),the surface of wall is crude. Caused by: Joints due to
concentrated use of snapped headers during masonry work. The
flatness deviation of the back of one-brick thick wall is large; gray
48
stains overflowing the wall surface are not scraped smoothly.

(5),construction column is not built up as stipulated in the
standards. Caused by: The brick wall on both sides of the
construction column is not built up in the form of toothing. The steel
tie bar is not set up properly. The toothing is not of first-backward-
then-forward. When the height of toothing is 120mm, the brick on the
upper layer is not built up in the way of “60mm outwards first, another
brick after, then 120mm outwards”. Litter such as ash and brick debris
which has fallen into the construction column is not cleaned up.
5. The Major Safety Measures
(1)Wetting the Bricks
The bricks shall be sprinkled (or flooded) on the ground ahead of
time till becoming wet, which shall not be carried out when the blocks
are delivered to the site of operation. This is to avoid causing the site
ground to be slippery.
(2)Blocks delivery
1) The vehicles shall not run at high speed when delivering bricks
and mortar to ensure vehicles’ stability, during which the distance
between two vehicles shall be more than 2m; the distance shall be
more than 10m when vehicles are going down a slope. Parallel
vehicles or overtaking is prohibited. The height of material loaded
shall not exceed the top of the vehicle carriage.

2) When the blocks are pushed into construction lifts for vertical
delivery, the quantity of loading and the number of vehicles shall not
49
exceed the lifting capacity of the cage.

3) It is prohibited to tossed bricks upwards during manual
delivery. Instead, the passing and catching shall be stable, and the
two positions for passing and cathing shall not be in the same vertical
line.
4) Stack materials temporarily on solid and flat ground of site. It is
not allowed to place the materials on wet puddles or spots where the
soil is soft and cracked.

5) When placing the materials on the floor slab or bridge road,
ensure that the weight of materials do not exceed its designed load
capacity, and pile the materials separately to prevent the materials
from being too close.

(3) The Construction of Scaffolding
1) The construction of scaffolding; when the scaffolding is
installed on the ground, the ground must be flat and solid. If the
ground is not in above condition, it shall be tamped to be flat without
subsiding. Or, expand the bearing surface by paving wooden plates
below the scaffold foot. When it is installed on the floor slab, a
wooden wedge shall be put on the uneven spots to make it stable.
Check if there is any change in the scaffolding on the ground after a
heavy rain.
2) Fixing steel mesh as platform.
(4) Bricklaying
1) It is not allowed to stand on the wall for marking off, hanging
50
plumb bob or cleaning the wall surface, etc.

2) Cutting the bricks inwards to prevent brick debris from falling to
damage pedestrians.

2. Operating Conditions:
(1) Form-work design:
1) Determine the construction area and section of the project.
According to the form-work system, characteristics and site conditions of
the project structure type, flow process of form-work construction should
be reasonably determined so as to reduce the qty of the marineplex,
increasing the usage times of form-work recycling and balance the
workloads of the process (such as steel bars, form-work and concrete
work).
2) Determine the general layout of structural form-work. In the
general layout, mark the type, position, quantity, size, elevation of all
kinds of components, and mark the substitution relations between same
components or the components which will be the same by slight repair,
so as to reduce the types and quantities of fabricated form-work, confirm
form-work and alternative flow direction and the location.

3) Determine the form-work layout and support layout. According to
the beam, slab, column size and number in the general layout, design
slab form-work diagram and mark the layout with different type and
dimension as well as vertical and horizontal keel specifications, number
and length; types and space of ties; model and space of vertical support,
53
lateral support, horizontal connecting fittings of support system. When
prefabricating the assembly, draw and mark the size of assembled part
and the relation.

4) Drawing and Checking: According to the form-work arrangement
and support system layout, strictly draw and check its strength, stiffness
and stability. After qualified, draw a full set of form-work design,
including: form-work layout, steel frame detail, assembly drawing, node
detail drawing, parts and non-standardized splicing pieces processing
diagram.
(2) At the bottom of the vertical elements, use 1: 3 cement mortar to
seal along the edge of the form-work. Accurately level according to the
given elevation line. At the outer edge of external walls and column, set
the form-work padding wooden cube according to the elevation line,
which shall overlap leveling mortar to ensure accurate elevation with no
mortar leakage.
(3) Set the form-work (spacer control) positioning bar on the main
re-bar of wall and column 5-8cm above the ground. According to the
form-work line, weld horizontal struts according to the thickness of the
protective space to prevent horizontal displacement of the form-work.

the quality of the installation → columns form-work fixed

(4) Key points of single piece pre-assembled column form-work
process:
55
1) Single piece form-work (four pieces per column). Form-work set
shall be reserved a cleaning hole as per the drawing. After assembled,
check the form-work diagonal, flatness and dimensions, shape and
dimensions. It shall be numbered, brush stripping agent and stacked into
different categories.
2) Hoisting the first form-work into position, and set up a temporary
support or temporarily fix with wire and column reinforcement lashing.

3) Then the second column form-work shall be hoisted, forming a L
shape with the first column form-work with internal form-work (or
connection angle form-work). The U - shaped fitting is used to tighten the
edge rib of the form-work and the one side of the angle form-work, so as
to support or fix it.

4) Finish the placing and connection of third, fourth column form-
work as described above to make it square barrel type.

5) The column hoop is installed from bottom to top, which is
compared with the axis displacement, vertical deviation, cross section,
diagonal line and support.

6) After installation of a flow process of column form-work and a
comprehensive inspection for installation quality,fix horizontal pull
(support) rod and scissors strut in a group.

(5) Key points of integral pre-assembled form-work installation:
Assemble and check the whole column form-work→ hoisting in
place→ installation of support→ comprehensive quality inspection →

group column form-work fixation
56
(6) The key points of the installation of the integral pre-assembled
column form-work are as follows:

1) Before hoisting, check the sectional size, diagonal deviation, the
number of connectors, clamps, column hoops and tightness of the upper
and lower openings of the overall pre-assembled column form-work.
Check whether there is a set on column bar which hinders column form-
work, and tie the re-bar with the top of the column with lead wire to
facilitate the column form-work to be installed from the top.

2) When the integral column form-work is installed on the reference
surface and behind the line under the form-work, use four diagonal
bracing or hawser cable with turnbuckle to connect four corners at the
top of column. The other side shall be anchored to the ground. Fix it after
checking central line, column edge line, barrel twisting direction and if
being vertical. When the height of the column is more than 6m, it is not
suitable for single support. It is suitable for several columns to support
continuously to connect as a truss at the same time.

3) When the beam column form-work is set in two times, the form-
work at the top layer is not to be disassembled, which facilitates the
connection of the secondary beam column form-work and the connecting
with joint part.

2. Wall form-work installation process:
(1)Wall form-work single-piece in-pace group assembly installation
process:
Pre-assembly inspection → Installation of the window form-work →
57
Installation of the first step form-work (both sides) → Adjust the form-
work straight → Install the second step to the top of the form-work on
both sides → Install the steel plate flat → Install through the wall Bolt →
install outer corrugated steel → add bracing and adjust form-work
straight → connect with column, wall and floor form-work

(2) Wall form-work single block in-place installation key points:
1) Before installing the form-work, install the window and door
opening form-work according to the position line, fix it on the re-bar on
the wall, and install the embedded parts or wood blocks.

2) Installation form-work shall be adopted at the same time on both
sides of the wall. The first form-work shall be installed while being locked
and plugged through the wall or split bolt and casing, and the two sides
of the mold aligned with the wall to make it stable. And then use the
steel clip or dish-shaped fastener and hook bolt to fix on the rib edge of
form-work and adjust both sides to make it horizontal and straight.

3) Hook-head bolt, wall bolt, connecting bolt and other connecting
parts should be connected firmly, and the tightness is consistent.

(3) Pre-assembled wall form-work process:
Pre-installation inspection → Installation of the window form-work →
One side of the wall mold hoisting in place → Installation of bracing →
Insert the wall bolts and plastic casing → Clean the debris in the wall →
Install the other side wall form-work → Installation bracing → Wall bolt
getting through the other side wall form-work → adjust the form-work
position → fasten wall bolt → bracing fixed → connect with the adjacent
58
form-work
(4) Pre-assembled wall form-work installation key points:
1) Check the reference wall line and wall form-work number where
the wall form-work is installed. If it complies with the drawing, install
doors and windows form-work and embedded parts or wood tiles.

2) One side of the pre-assembled wall form-work will be hoisted in
place according to the position line. Install the bracing or tool-type
bracing and adjust form-work 75 °to the ground, so that it is stable on the
reference plane.
3) Install through-wall or split bolt and support plastic bushing. To
make the bolt rod end up, the casing sleeved on the bolt, clean the
debris inside the form-work.

4) In the same way, place the other side wall form-work so that the
through-the-wall bolts can pass through the form-work and fasteners and
nuts can be put on the ends of the bolts, and then adjust the position
and vertical of the two form-works and, at the same time, brace out an
angle at a high speed. After qualified, fix the bracing and fasten nuts of
all the bolts through the wall.

5) After the form-work is installed, a comprehensive inspection for
fasteners, bolts, bracing is tightened, stable, form-work seam and lower
opening is tight.
Fourth, The form-work Removal Technology
1. General of form-work removal:
(1) Side form-work removal: When the strength of concrete can
59
ensure that the surface and edges of the concrete will not be damaged
by the removal of the form-work it can be removed.

(2) For removal of the bottom form-work for construction, the
relevant provisions of the norms and standards must be implemented.
Operational team cannot remove the form-work after application for the
removal is approved by the technical department.

(3) The structure of removed form-work and the support can bear all
loads after the concrete reaches the design strength grade. When the
effect of the construction load is more unfavorable than the effect of the
used load, temporary support shall be added after the calculation.

2. General of form-work removal:
(1) Removal application shall be submitted in accordance with the
provisions of form-work design. If there is no design requirement, follow
the principle of “remove supporting first, then keels ， then marineplex”.
And also should follow that form-work with no load shall be removed
first, while the form-work with load shall be removed later.

(2) Form-work organization shall follow the principle that the
installation and removal of form-work shall be carried out by one
operation team . The advantage is that the convenience and safety of
the form-work removal can be taken into account. During form-work
removal, if the staff is familiar with the situation, it will be easy to find the
key point of form-work removal, which will facilitate removal schedule,
safety, protection of form-work and accessories.

3. Column form-work removal process:
60
(1) Decentralized removal process:

Remove the tie rod or diagonal struts → Remove the studs or tie rod
shall be removed from top to bottom → Remove the vertical flutes and
remove the steel frame marineplex form-work from top to bottom→ form-
work and accessories transportation and maintenance

(2) Removal of form-work piece by piece process:
Remove the lever or bracing → remove the column hoops from top
to bottom → remove the U-shaped fasterner on the side of the
connection angle by two pieces or four pieces→ lifting film form-work

(3) Key points of column form-work removal:
1) When removing the column form-work dispersively, remove it
from top to bottom and layer by layer. When removing the first floor, use
a wooden hammer or hammer with a rubber pad to tap the top opening
of form-work to loosen it off the column concrete. Followed by the
removal of a layer of form-work, tap the form-work edge and do not use
crowbar to pry it away from the column foot. Removed form-work and
accessories shall be slided to the ground using a sliding plate or bound
by a rope and hoisted down.

2) When removing the column form-work, tap and pry the
connecting angle form-work outwards from the upper opening to make it
loose. Add temporary support or reserve a loosen tie rod on the top of
column to prevent the entire column form-work from falling down and
damaging people.
4. Wall form-work removal process:
61
(1) Wall form-work decentralized removal process:

Remove diagonal struts → removed tie rods and external wood from
top to bottom → remove internal wood bar and marineplex form-work
from top to bottom layer by layer→ form-work and accessories
transportation and maintenance

(2) Averall wall form-work removal process:
Remove tie rod → adjust the triangular skewed legs screw to leave
the foot off the ground → remove the big form-work to join the narrow
seam at the end of the form-work → Strike the upper end of the large
vertical wood to set it off from the wall → pry form-work side rib using a
crowbar, so that all will fall from the wall → lift group-assembled form-
work
(3) Key points of wall form-work removal process:
1) Decentralized removal of wall form-work has the same key points
as decentralized removal of column form-work. However, during the
removal of single form-work on every layer, remove the narrow form-
work near the seam at both ends of the wall, and remove the rest in
order till the centre of the wall.

2) For integral removal wall form-work, adjust the triangular skewed
leg screw to make it off the ground, the angle between removed form-
work and the ground be 75° for the best.If there is no tool-type oblique
leg, leave some of the bolts on the toppest row and middle row when
removing the tie rods, so that nuts and fasteners will be loosen without
falling to prevent falling of the form-work when it is being pried.
62
Fifth, Quality Standards

1. Precautions: the form-work and its support must have sufficient
strength, stiffness and stability; its support part shall have sufficient
support area. If installed on a foundation soil, the foundation soil must be
solid and drained.

Inspection methods: As per form-work design, conduct field
observation or ruler inspection.

2. General
(1) The joint width shall not be greater than 1.5mm.
Inspection methods: observe and check with a wedge feeler.
(2) form-work surface shall be cleaned. Take measures to prevent it
from bonding.
Inspection methods: calculation after observation and measurement
Sixth, Finished Product Protection
1. Pre-assembled form-work shall be put in a storage space, where
the site should be flat and compacted. When laying form-work flat, there
must be wooden frame. When making the form-work strainght up, set up
a form-work frame for classification. The form-work where it touches the
ground shall be padded by wooden cubes to ensure that the form-work
does not distort or deform. Do not stack or place the form-work friviously
or put scattered form-work and accessories on assembled form-work.

2. For all installed wall and column form-work in a working area, it is
are not allowed to collide other form-work against above form-work
during hoisting, it is not allowed to make form-work as a temporary chair
63
before t is pre-assembled in place to prevent the form-work from
deforming or having vertical deviation. For all installed flat form-work in a
working area, it is not allowed to make temporary material and operating
platform to ensure the stability of the support and prevent deviation of
elevation and flatness of flat form-work.

3. For removal of the form-work, do not use sledgehammer, crowbar
to smash, so as to avoid the appearance of concrete and internal
damage.
Seventh, Quality Precautions
1. Column form-work:
(1) Swelling of form-work, cross-sectional size is not accurate:
Prevention method is that based on column height and section
size ， design and calculate cross-sectional size and spacing of column
hoop, and use tie-rod to ensure the strength and rigidity of the column is
enough to resist the side pressure of the concrete. During
construction ,the operation shall be carried out as per design
requirement.
(2) Column twist: prevention and control method is that before form-
work installation, column bar shall be checked and adjusted so that it
does not twist first. And after install the bracing (or tie rod),should hang
the wire to find if it is vertical, the adjacent two column form-work
hanging from the top shall have two points of each side, so that the line
falls to the ground.If the two lines shown that the distances from each
64
point to the column position line are equal, it has made the column form-
work without twisting.

(3) Axis displacement, i.e. a row of columns are not on the same
line: prevention and control methods are, for rows of columns, axis and
side line of the column shall be painted on the ground before form-work
installation, and respectively mark the other axis of the other direction for
each column , then determine the other two side lines of the column.
When install form-work, column form-work on both ends shall be erected
first. After checking and confirming that it is vertical and on the right spot,
line will be drawn on top of column form-work, and then form-work of
each column the in the middle. When the column spacing is small, the
horizontal rod and bridging are arranged in the row. When the column
spacing is large, each column is respectively supported on four sides to
ensure being vertical and the correct position of each column.

2. Wall form-work:
(1) The thickness of the wall is uneven, and the flatness is poor. The
prevention method is that the form-work design has sufficient strength
and rigidity. The size and spacing of the keel, the spacing of the tie rod
through the wall, the supporting method of the wall, etc. should be
correct during operation.

(2) Deformation of concrete on the door and window openings: the
reason is that the door and window form-work and wall form-work or wall
re-bar is not strong, lacking of support within the window form-work.
65
(3) Deformation of concrete on the door and window openings: the
reason is that the door and window form-work and wall form-work or wall
re-bar is not strong, lacking of support within the window form-work.

3. Management of steel frame form-work shall be improved during
use. During installation, removal and delivery of form-work, move and
put down gently; If anyone found steel frame and stiffener is damaged or
deformed, timely repair shall be carried out; form-work shall be classified
as per the code, and the steel frame, steel rib shall be regularly painted
using anti-rust paint; sealing paint shall be applied to the side and cutting
surface of marineplex.
Eighth, Security Assurance Measures
1. While preassembling large pre-assembled form-work, vertically lift
with two lifting points. During installation, align and install the connectors.
It can be unhooked after connection is firm. When lifting scattered form-
works, the form-work shall be put into the cage, to prevent falling and
damaging people.
2. form-work stacking site and at the construction site shall not have
open flame welding and cutting. If welding is necessary, there must be
reliable fire precautions when cutting.

3. When pouring concrete, assign special workers to look after the
form-work. If form-works are found to have tilt, displacement, local
bulging, timely tightening measures shall be adopted to continue
construction.
4. During form-work removal, it shall be done block by block without
66
prying of pulling down a whole piece. Removed form-work and other
accessories cannot be thrown. Instead, assign workers to pass and pile
it on designated location, and promptly clean, repair and brush release
agent to make it ready for use.

5. When loading and unloading the form-work at high place, no person
below shall be standing on the ground except the operator, and a
warning sign or red signal sign shall be set.

3.7 Waterproofing Construction Plan
First, Waterproofing overview

4mm thick APP modified waterproofing membrane or follow design.
Second, Waterproofing Practices
1. Material requirements
The quality and technical performance of sheet coil and other
materials used must meet the requirements of design and construction
acceptance specifications. Product must have certification, and retest
must be done.
2. Operating conditions
(1) When paving the surface of the base layer of the waterproof
67
layer for sheet coil, it must be smooth, clean, solid and dry without
defects such as sand, cracking and hollowing.

(2) The exhaust passage should be vertical and horizontal through
without being blocked, leaving the exhaust vent connected with the
atmosphere, exhaust duct width of 50mm, and additional 250mm wide
coil, with adhesive unilateral paste cover.

(3) The slope of the leveling layer of the roof shall meet the
requirements of the design and construction acceptance specifications
and shall not have water accumulation;

(4) All pipe embedded parts and other waterproofing layer through
the roof shall be properly treated on the basic layer before construction,
so as to avoid leakage hazards.

(5) Internal and external corners on the roof, parapet, pipes, etc.
shall be made of a radius of 20mm arc.

3. Operating Process
“Full paving” shall be applied to sheet coil in the project.
(1) Paving additional layer of sheet coil
1) Make the additional layer of coil in the junction of parapet,
gutter wall, variable pipe root and cornice, gutter, water drop mouth, etc,
and it shall meet the specifications.

2) Outer eaves shall be placed close to the upper part of side bar,
inner eaves shall be placed close to no less than 200mm above the roof.
3) Paving the roofing sheet coil
① When paving the roof waterproofing layer, the leveling layer
68
must be clean and dry. The easy way to test for the degree of dryness is
paving ad dry 1.2m coil flat on the leveling layer, and turn it over for
inspection after standing it for 3-4h If no watermark is on leveling cover
part and the sheet coil is found, it can be paved.

② Construction should be carried out from west to east, while the
roofing sheet coil shall be paved from south to north paving. And gutter
roll paving shall be implemented from the water falling opening to water
parting on both sides.

③ The lapping length of sheet coil should not be less than 80mm.
The lap joint parallel to the roof should follow the water flow direction,
and vertical to the lapping seam of roof ridge to guild the wind direction.
④ Cement for basic layer can be brushed on sheet coil and the
bottom side of basic layer. The painting shall be uniform, without
showing the bottom or piling up. According to the performance of the
Fixer, control the time interval between adhesive brushing and coil
paving. Do not fold the sheet coil, nor forcefully pull the sheet coil, and
remove the air under the coil, roll the paste firmly. After the coil is
pressed and glued, the joint surface of the lapping part shall be cleaned
and the special adhesive of the joint supporting with the coil shall be
applied to strengthen the waterproofing of the roof structure;

⑤ At the connected part of roof and prominent roof structure, the
height of sheet coil paved on the standing wall shal be not less than
250mm. The general method used is to connect it to each roof coil. After
69
every coil is paved, fix the coil on the wall. Then nails or gaskets with
pressure shall be used for fixing, with a nail distance of 500mm, and the
upper sealed with sealing material.

4) Drainage waterproof practices:
Cup mouth shall be firmly fixed in the design position. Every
additional layer connected to water falling opening shall be attached to
the cup-shaped opening according to design requirements, and
compressed with funnel cover chassi. Adhesive material shall be applied
between the chassis and the coil, where the width of the compression
not less than 100mm. Seal the parts around the chassis with cementing
material evenly, and carefully handle the connected parts of water falling
opening and standpipe to prevent water leakage.

5) Waterproof practice for other special parts
(2) Key points for paving roofing special parts
1) Eaves
Press the steel coil which is paved on the end of evens into the
groove after the coil is cut even, and seal the groove tightly with sealing
material.When fixing it with a bead, the nail shall be embedded in the
groove, nail cap and the end of the coil sealed with sealing material.
2) Eaves gutters and water falling opening
① Before paving sheet coil on the eaves gutters, seal the wather
falling opening first. When the water falling opening cup is buried, the
connection between it and the stand pipe socket is densely filled with the
sealing material to prevent the part from pouring in the rainstorm. A
70
diameter of 500 mm around the water falling opening is sealed with the
sealing material as an additional Layer, the thickness of which is not less
than 2mm. Leave a wide 20mm, 20mm deep groove at where the Water
falling opening cup and foundation contact for embedding seal material.
② Because of large flow of water at eaves gutter, waterproof layer is
often washed or soaked in rainwater. Hence, seal the corner of gutter
eavs with sealing material with the width of each side being not less than
30mm, and then add a layer of coil after drying as additional layer.
③ Pave the sheet coil of the eaves gutter from the bottom of gutter,
after which it shall be conducted along the eaves gutter from the water
falling opening to the direction of watershed. Scrape and press from the
bottom of gutter to the two sides with a scrape during paving to make the
bubbles out so that the coil can be flat, and pasted in a compacted
manner.
④ All sheet coil and additional layers paved to the water falling
opeing shall be sticked to the cup rim and pressed tight by the rain cover
chassis. Adhesive material shall be applied to chassis and sheet coil for
sticking, and seal the parts around the chassis with sealing material.
3) Flashing and coil closing
① Since flashing is located at in the roof corner and the standing
wall, its structure is deformed in a large degree, which makes it easy to
be exposed to the sun. In order to enhance the durability of waterproof
layer at joints, additional coil shall be paved. Before paving coil at
71
flashing part, trial paving shall be carried out. Leave enough length of
standing surface, pave the flat coil to the corner and then pave the
standing coil bottom up. If standing coil is paved first, sticking up,
hollowing and shedding can be easily found since the over-tighteing of
standing coil due to its own weight.

② When coil paving is compelete, the end of the line shall be cut
evenly. Leave a groove on the parapet, press the end all into the groove
and use bead to nail it flat. Seal it with sealing material before sealing
the groove with cement mortar.

4) Exhaust hole and piping protruding the roof
The paving method for coil at the overlapped corner of ventilation
and roof is similar to that at corners of standing wall and roof – paving
additional two additional layers. After the waterproof layer is paved, the
upper end shall be bound tight with bitumastic oakum or thin wire, and
finally seal it with sealing material. See the process for water falling
opening for additional layers of material cutting method.

(3) Internal and external corner
After cement is applied to the basic layer of internal and external,
seal the part where it is 100mm away from the corner, with an additional
layer of coil paved. At the internal corner it shall be paved directly,
whereas an additional layer can be applied at the external corner before
paving. Seal the cut seam with sealant after paving is done.

3.0 PREFABRICATION
General requirements
Although not preferred, sometimes the prefabrication of steel structures is performed at Site.
In this case, these works shall be closely monitored and audited by the Site Quality Control
81
department in accordance with the related Inspection and Test Plan. The works should also be
undertaken in accordance with the approved Health, Safety and Environment Plan.
The prefabrication works at site are mainly for steel supports. The same rules mentioned
above will apply to these works. Works will be implemented and controlled in accordance
with the related Inspection and Test Plan. If it is found necessary by the auditors, personnel
training shall be arranged prior to prefabrication works.
Therefore, what is meant by prefabrication works is generally prefabrication of supports.
Preparation
To avoid any damage that may be occurred during handling of painted materials, lifting shall
be done by slings.
All fabrication drawings, issued as “AFC – Approved for Construction” shall be carefully
reviewed and Cutting Plans / Lists shall be prepared for each type and size of material, to
minimize wastage of materials and to minimize the amount of welding.
Marking and cutting
Plates, generally shall be prepared by flame cutting followed by grinding.
Profiles and or tubulars shall be cut by various types of profile cutters or chainsaws.
Surfaces to be welded shall be visually examined to ensure that they are free from
laminations, cracks, slag inclusions and cutting notches. Any such defects shall be modified
by grinding.
82
The weld area shall be dry, clean and free from loose scale or paint.
Flame cut edges which are not subsequently welded shall be ground smooth to remove nicks
and burrs. The use of flame gouging or “washing” is not permitted. Alignment, fit up and
welding
Prior to commencement of welding of steel structures, Welding Procedure Specifications
(WPS) for each type of weld, shall be prepared and submitted for approval.
All welders shall be qualified in accordance with Welding Specification and qualified welder
list shall be submitted to the Client prior to commencement of the welding activity and
updated periodically. Parts to be welded will be cut as shown in drawings and after fit up by
tack weld, the weld will be done as per WPS (Welding Procedure Specification). Tack welds
shall be at least 40 mm.
Parts to be joined by fillet welds shall be brought into as close contact as practicable. Welds,
including tack welds, will be performed by the qualified welders.
Welds shall generally be in fabrication shops. Outdoor welding, if necessary shall be
protected from adverse weather effects by means of protective measures.
Temporary attachments or similar devices required for prefabrication shall be removed by
flame cutting or grinding. Hammering is not permitted.
When temporary attachments are removed, the surface of the base metal shall be ground
smooth and visually examined. Any defects discovered in the base metal such as cracks or
undercuts shall be removed and if necessary rewelded, and the area shall be examined.
Concrete reinforcing bars shall not be used as temporary attachment material.
83
If the drawing shows holes for bolting, holes shall be 2 mm larger in diameter than the
specified bolts, unless otherwise noted on the fabrication drawings. Bolt holes shall be drilled
to size, or drilled and reamed if necessary. Enlarging by thermal means is not permitted.
Holes shall be clean- cut without burrs and torn or ragged edges. All holes shall be finished
prior to application of any protective coating.
Surface preparation and painting
After all fabrication of the components are completed, the components will be released for
painting.
Surface preparation and painting shall be done in accordance with the approved Surface
Preparation and Painting Procedure.
Components to be galvanized shall be protected from embrittlement and warpage during
galvanizing. If galvanized, nut threads shall be re-tapped after hot dip galvanizing, for proper
fit.
4.0 INSTALLATION of STEEL STRUCTURES

Adequate scaffolding material, temporary supports or tension rope cables shall be provided
and used during installation of steel structures.
By using temporary braces, partially completed structural assemblies to be ensured safe and
stable conditions.
84
The structure shall be plumbed, leveled and braced before final bolted or welded connections
are made.
Column base plates shall be set and shimmed to correct positions, elevations, and locations as
shown on the erection drawings.
After grouting, anchor bolts shall be tightened.
Temporary attachments shall be removed after the installation is completed.
Welded and bolted connections
Field welding shall only be used if so required on the related drawings.
Marking, cutting, alignment, fit-up and welding which may be required during the
installation of the structures shall be performed in accordance with related
specifications/procedures.
High strength bolt assemblies shall be installed in accordance with specification and
standards. Steel structure elements are generally connected by high strength bolts and
handrail and grating connections are done by standard bolts and nuts. The type of bolts/nuts
will be in accordance with drawings.
Bolt lengths shall be sufficient to extend approximately 5 mm through the nut. Fitted bolts
shall clear the hole before the thread starts. Bolts and nuts shall rest squarely against the
metal.
Bolts shall be tightened in accordance with tensioning requirements (snug tight or fully
85
tensioned) given in the related drawings and specifications. Bolt heads shall be carefully
tapped with a hammer while the nut is being tightened. All nuts for high strength bolts shall
be wax-dipped to reduce torque during installation.
When assembled, all joint surfaces, including those adjacent to the bolt heads, nuts or
washers shall be free from burrs, dirt and other foreign materials that would prevent solid
seating of parts. All bolt assemblies shall be fully tightened.
Bolts and nuts shall not be welded under any circumstances.
Direct tension indicator washers, if used, shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
When impact wrenches are used, wrenches of adequate capacity and sufficient air supply
shall be used to perform the required tightening of each bolt.
Mechanically galvanized bolts shall not be mixed with hot dip galvanized nuts and bolts.
Used bolts shall not be used again and also they shall not be used as fit-up bolts.
Ends of the torqued bolts shall be marked by permanent marking paint to indicate that the
bolts have been properly tensioned and are ready for inspection.
Correction of errors
Bolts shall not be improperly used. Drift pin can be used to help for bolting process but it
shall not be driven with such force as to damage the adjacent metal areas.
Holes may be carefully enlarged in accordance with the standards, when the connection
cannot be done due to minor misfit. Enlargement of holes shall be by reaming or drilling
86
only. Flame cutting, burning, gouging, chipping or drift punching shall not be permitted.
Holes in connections that misfit by more than 1.5 mm can only be corrected if allowed as per
specifications and as directed by the Client’s representative.
All damages done during the erection works to hot dip galvanized coatings and to shop
applied paintings, shall be repaired in accordance with the approved Surface Preparation and
Painting Procedure.
5.0 INSPECTIONS
Structural Steel Installation shall be inspected in accordance with the approved Inspection
and Test Plans (ITP).
