Prior to the beginning of the work or upon the request of the Consultant, the
Contractor shall locate the position of the work by establishing and marking the
fence line. The finished fence shall be plumb, taut, true to line and ground
contour, and complete in every detail.
There are five (5) basic steps involved in installing the fence and each of those
steps has several different, equally effective options. There are;
· Deciding how many wires need and then marking how high up and far apart
they need to be placed on the ends and corners.
· Installing the in-line strainers, tension spring and then tightening the wire.
For handrail, all workmanship shall be of first class quality in every respect, the
greatest accuracy being observed to ensure that all parts will fit together properly
on erection. Erection procedure shall be in accordance with approved proposal
(mock-up). During erection care shall be taken to avoid any shock, dynamic or
vibrationary loading of the members. All holes shall be accurately marked off from
templates or corresponding plates, and drilled, except in plates or under, when
they may be punched. Holes should be cleaned or burrs or rough edges and
counter-sunk where required. The surface area must be cleaned before proceed
the work.
The site of the fence shall be sufficiently cleared of obstructions, and surface
irregularities shall be graded so that the fence will confirm to the general contour
of the ground. The fence line shall be cleared on each side of the fence centreline.
This clearing shall consist of rocks or other obstructions that will interfere with
proper construction of fence.
The contractor shall fill, cut or trench where necessary to produce a smooth and
uniform ground surface so the bottom of the fabrics not less than 300mm or more
than 900mm above the finished ground line. All posts shall be set plumb, true to
line and grade. Terminal posts, defined as end, corner, pull or gate posts, shall be
set in concrete. The concrete footing shall be uniform thickness around the post.
Distance of post shall according to the construction drawing and/or approved
mock-up.
All corner, end, pull, and gate posts shall be braced as shown on the drawings. Pull
posts shall be used at sharp breaks in vertical grade or as directed by the
Consultant.
Fabric shall be securely attached to end, corner, gate and pull posts in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations. All fabrics shall be taut before attaching to
line posts or tension wire. High and size for the fabric should follow as per
construction drawing.

ii. Pull the chain link tight by hand to the other end.
The contractor shall erect the formwork after the installation of chain link pole
and the fabric. The height of kerb shall be 150mm. The concreting work shall be
carried out after the formwork erected with G20 concrete.
The site of the fence shall be sufficiently cleared of obstructions, and surface
irregularities shall be graded so that the fence will confirm to the general contour
of the ground. The fence line shall be cleared on each side of the fence centreline.
This clearing shall consist of rocks or other obstructions that will interfere with
proper construction of fence.
The contractor shall fill, cut or trench where necessary to produce a smooth and
uniform ground surface. All posts shall be set plumb, true to line and grade.
Terminal posts, defined as end, corner, pull or gate posts, shall be set in concrete
grade 20. The concrete footing shall be uniform thickness around the post, footing
size 200x200x500mm. Distance of post shall according to the construction
drawing and/or approved mock-up, 3m distance from post to other post.
All corner, end, pull, and gate posts shall be braced as shown on the drawings. Pull

High-tensile cable fencing is no more difficult to erect than other kinds of fencing.
(a) Insulating the cable from the ends and corner posts.
Once the 12mm diameter high-tensile cable placements on the end and corner
post have been set, insulate the cable from the posts. Next, fasten the ends of the
wire together.
Compared to other types of fences, this is probably one of the easiest parts of the
whole process. The cable must be stretching and fastening using cable tension.
(c) Installing the in-line strainers, tension spring and then tightening the cable.
The final step in the process is tightening the cable. Once the fence cable has been
hooked to the ends it run the inline strainers can be installed.
4.4 GI RAILING
The site of the GI railing shall be sufficiently cleared of obstructions, and surface
irregularities shall be graded so that the railing will confirm to the general contour
of the ground. The railing line shall be cleared on each side of the railing
centreline. This clearing shall consist of rocks or other obstructions that will
interfere with proper construction of railing.
The contractor shall fill, cut or trench where necessary to produce a smooth and
uniform ground surface. All posts shall be set plumb, true to line and grade.
Terminal posts, defined as end, corner, pull or gate posts, shall be set in concrete
grade 20 (for external GI railing) and using bolt and nut (for internal GI railing),
then cover with concrete grade 30 (for internal GI railing). Distance of post shall
according to the construction drawing and/or approved mock-up.
All corner, end, pull, and gate posts shall be braced as shown on the drawings. Pull
posts shall be used at sharp breaks in vertical grade or as directed by the
Consultant.
It is easy and the best way when the balustrades welding together with the post
before install it at site. The welding spot must be smooth finishes. After
installation, there should be applied the last layer of anti-corrosion coating, with
approved colour code by consultant.
The gates shall be erected and hung on gate fittings as shown on the plans. They
shall be attached in such a manner that the gate cannot be lifted off the hinges.
Gates shall be erected to swing in the direction indicated and shall be provided
with gate stops, as specified or as shown on the drawings.
