6. CIVIL & STEEL WORKS METHODOLOGHY

6.1 Lean Concrete (Gros bton)
After the ground have been leveled by a grader and compacted with a roller, the lean concrete can be pour. After lean concrete (Gros bton) is poured, it should be cured by water for a minimum of one week.

6.2 Reinforced concrete for the foundation

The day after lean concrete is poured, formworks fabrication along with rebar cutting and bending will commence as per approved drawings. After all rebar are set in place, anchor bolts should be put in accurate place with the help of steel plate to keep anchor bolts in position during the pouring of the foundation. After the anchor bolts and rebar are in their final position, the foundation will be ready for pouring. Curing for the foundation will be for not less than a week for the concrete to gain the required strength of 32.5 Mpa.

6.3 Erection of steel structure 6.3.1 General

Although several methods are used to erect general steel rigid frames, it has been found most satisfactory to erect the columns first, tie them together with the girds and tighten the anchor bolts. After the columns have been erected, the ground assembled rafter is hoisted into place and connected to the columns. Generally, the rafter will be connected on ground and then lifted to its final position. The intermediate or interior frames nearest the end wall are usually erected first. This bay usually contains the optional diagonal bracing.

Second frame of braced bay

Roof Purlins

Step 5: Add cable bracing. Snug tighten only. Remove rope ties and repeat the previous steps with other main frames.

Step 6: Add corner columns, sidewall girts and eave struts. Then proceed with end wall columns, rafters, remaining roof purlins and flange braces.

When the frame work is standing, the structure should be plumbed and squared. Use a level as shown for wall columns. Square the roof with the use of the cable braces as shown. Taking diagonal measurements and adjusting the tension of the xbracing will square the roof and aid in plumbing the structure end-walls.

Step 7: Plumbing and squaring the framework.

Block Works: After columns are set and their alignment is checked, block work will commence with the use of simple equipment and scaffolding when needed. The mezzanine floor will be erected with main frames generally prior to sheeting and then casting the mezzanine floor. The sheeting for the workshop will be installed using scaffolding.

7. QUALITY CONTROL
The safety and quality of erection will be ensured by engaging qualified supervisor and technicians on the job. The quality plan as a minimum should contain the following: Erection Inspection Check List EICL ( Attachment I) Method Statement. Risk Assessment.

8. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For safety reasons there are precautions that need to be taken during site works. 8.1 Make daily check on all lifting equipment 8.9 Ensure that erection always starts at a braced bay. 8.10 Ensure permanent bracing and flange stays are installed as work proceeds. 8.11 Ensure that high strength bolts are used where indicated. 8.12 Maintain a clean and tidy site. Thus avoid material loss or accident. 8.13 Tie down Sheeting Once the bundle is opened. 8.14 Ensure that high strength bolts are correctly tightened.

8.2 Make daily checks on all lifting slings.

8.3 Check that all access equipment is in good condition, including scaffolding and ladders. 8.4 Check weather conditions, strong winds are dangerous during erection and sheeting. 8.5 Check for overhead electric lines before moving in with a crane. 8.6 check that all erectors have the correct personal safety equipment, helmet, safety shoes, safety harness etc. 8.7 ensure that there are sufficient guy wires on site for temporary bracing 8.8 Check electric cables for hand tools, discard frayed or split cables

8.15 when walking on the roof, step in the valley of the panels, not the ribs.
