6 UNLOADING, ARRANGEMENT, STORAGE AND PROTECT MATERIAL

6.1 UNLOADING

Materials
were
shipped to
job site
separately
or on the
skid put in
container.
They are
unloaded by
crane of
worker
manually up
to the material properties.
The average load of trucks carried materials
is about 40 ton, this load is also the safety
working load of crane 20 ton. Therefore, the
temporary road in the job site must be
prepared properly for crane and trucks
working.
Before unloading materials out of trucks or containers, it is required to take pictures of real material
status delivered to job site.

 6.2 MATERIAL ARRANGEMENT

To avoid materials being moved so much on jobsite that might cause unexpected damages of paint,
shapes , when material delved to job site, they must be unloaded and arranged closed to the designed
erection point.Up to The materials shall be stacked in locations according to the building/areas,
should be near to the lifting position adjacent to the area to be erected. This is to facilitate the sorting
and delivery during the erection.
the conditions of each job site, the material arrangement plan may different but in generally,
materials will be arranges as following principle to ease moving, combination and erection after later.

Leave 01 end open for erection machine

thoughout erection period.

- Members should be checked parkmark as packing list enclosed before unloading for best unloaded
positions.
- Columns should be arranged closed to their anchor bolt position.
- Rafter members should be arranged to ensure easy assembly, movement.
- Girts, purlins, eave struts and bracing are divided according to the requirements of each bay.
- Nested parts (purlins, girts etc.) should be separated and blocked to allow drainage of collected
moisture to prevent rusting, prior to erection.
- End wall material is laid out for each end.
- Small components (nuts, bolts, clips, fasteners etc.) are stored in a given area convenient to all parts
of the building.
- Wall, roof paneling and other components which will not be used in the initial stage of erecting the
steel, are placed to the outside of the work area and properly stored and protected from the weather.
- Insulation should not be stored on the edge of the roll as this will damage the edges

6.3 PROTECTION & STORAGE MATERIALS AT SITE

With purpose of preventing and protecting material damages during storage out of environment
factors such as storm water, dust, etc which cause rusty, stain, etc. Including below tasks:
- Choose firmed and dry area for storage.
- The material shall be stored above ground level with timber packing.

ERECTION METHOD STATEMENT rev01 Page : 10

 - The materials or component or member shall be stored separately, above ground on timber dun age.
They shall not be stacked directly on top of each other but must be separated by 50mm thick timber,
and shall not stack in contact with other steel member but must be separated by a minimum 250mm
gap.
- Particular care shall be taken to stiffen free ends at 200mm distance from ends, prevent permanent
distortion.
- The materials should be placed in minimum 5% slope to avoid water pond.
- The materials shall be kept free from dirt, grease, and other foreign materials and shall be protected
from road splash.
- Never step on the materials.
- All bolts, nuts, washers, screws, small plates and articles generally shall be suitably packed and
identified.

Spacers Slope for drainage Tarpaulin

Air Air
Circulation Circulation

Block above
Tie leave Ground
1.5 m max
bottom open

- Block above ground to keep water out.

- Slope bundles for drainage.
- Stack sheeting with spacers between bundles.
- Cover with canvas tarpaulin to protect from rain
- Tie down cover ends away from stack to permit air circulation. Do not wrap under or restrict air
movement.
- IMPORTANT! Do not use plastic sheeting as a cover because it will promote moisture.
- Sheeting, wire mesh, insulation should be installed right after delivering to job site, if not must be
kept indoors. Where indoor storage is not possible , the above procedure must be applied

 7 ERECTION
7.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLE

- Do not conduct erection without last Erection drawings issued for Erection.
- Adequately bracing before releasing lifting
FLANGE BRACE equipments or temporarily stop working.
- First braced bay must be completed with rod
bracings, eave strut, purlins, girts and flange
ROOF RAFTER
bracing as well as all connection bolts must be
tightened to ensure the stable place for next
structures connections.
- Only erect rafter after all connections bolts
were tighten, rafter was cleaned and rafter was
signed off.
SLING - All connection joints must be completed bolt
tightening before releasing lifting equipment.
ROOF RAFTER

7.2 MEMBER ASSEMBLANCE

SPREADER BAR

- All assembled members should be bristled by

timber bar, cleaned, painted touch up.

ROOF RAFTER
- Flange braces should be installed to rafter
members then.

SLING
- Connection bolts must be tightened, and
checked on the ground by TURN OF NUT or
Torque Wrench method (see appendix 01).

 8 MAIN FRAME ERECTION
- Repeat procedure of erection columns, rafters to complete frames.

8.1 COLUMN ERECTION:

8.1.1 Preparation

- Column materials were arranged closed to design position.

- Columns materials need to be cleaned, paint touching up and assembled before erection.
- Attach driven rope to column
- Check level and position of level nuts and anchor bolts with design.
- Check at least 03 temporary anchor points to ensure safe anchor points for column after erection.
These points should be adjacent casted concrete structures (stump, ground beam) where temporary
cable can be tied to. In case of no anchor point available, steel members that are not yet in use can
be temporary applied for temporay achor point.
- Tempory anchor points should be arranged out of working area to avoid hanging materials can be
caught by temporary cable, this can cause collapse to erected structures.
- Check lifting weight, crane position with capacity of applied crane base on crane specification
issued by manufacturer.

8.1.2 Erection

- Lift column and move slightly to design position.

- Slightly down column on casted anchor bolts.
- Tighten anchor bolts nut after column in right position.
- Temporary cables will be applied to keep column in
position.

8.2 RAFTER ERECTION:

8.2.1 Preparation

- As the procedure shown in 4.2

- Install static line poles, static line and driven
ropes into assembled rafter. Make sure all
mentioned equipment was checked strictly.
- Scaffolding should be prepared for workers to perform rafter-rafter, raftercolumn connection.

These points should be adjacent casted concrete structures (stump, ground beam) where temporary
cable can be tied to. In case of no anchor point available, steel members that are not yet in use can
be temporary applied for temporay achor point.
- Tempory anchor points should be arranged out of working area to avoid hanging materials can be
caught by temporary cable, this can cause collapse to erected structures.
- Check lifting weight, crane position with capacity of applied crane base on crane specification
issued by manufacturer

8.2.2 Erection

- Lift slightly rafter up

- Workers on the ground will drive rafter to right
position in coordination with crane.
- Workers standing on scaffolding will adjust
rafter for bolting.
- After rafter was connected to right positions,
workers will follow rafter with PPE attached to
static lines to install temporary purlins, rod
bracings, flange braces.
- Crane is only released when all connection bolts were tighten, temporary bracings, bracing purlins,
flange braces were installed adequately.
- Make sure there are at least 02 braced purlins were installed for each rafter portion when there are
much more than 01 rafter portions.
- Temporary cables will be applied during mainframe erection period, up to certain case, the number
of these cable can be deducted to avoid blocking erection process.

8.3 ERECTION SEQUENCE

8.3.1 Braced bay erection

- Braced bay must be erected in priority

- After completion 02 frames of braced bay, all components such as brace rod , flange brace , etc of
this bay must be completed as design, to set up the space stable place for next frames. Temporary
bracing should be applied for this bay during erection for safety.
- Braced bay frames must be temporarily aligned before installation purlins, bracings to avoid
difficulties may get if conducting alignment for remained frames after that.
- After completion frames alignment, request to have approval of Client before sheeting task
- Alignment Method is performed in Appendix 03
- Filling grouting should be done before sheeting.
