Erection Of Steel Structures
The erection of structural steelwork consists of the assembly of steel components into a frame on site. The processes involve lifting and placing components into position, then connecting them together. Generally this is achieved through bolting but sometimes site welding is used. The assembled frame needs to be aligned before bolting up is completed, and the structure handed over to the client.
Often the ability to complete these processes safely, quickly and economically is influenced significantly by early decisions made during design long before erection commences. It is important that designers clearly understand the impact that their decisions can have; “buildability” is a valid design objective. In this context, Our CAD design and Analyst involve in to design for construction.
Good site co-ordination will facilitate a smooth running project. Adequate access is required by the steelwork contractor for steel transportation, unloading and erection, both on the site as well as on surrounding or adjacent access roads. The provision of well prepared level ground that is able to take the requisite wheel loads is essential. Use of the best security policy standards will assist in meeting these requirements, thus reducing the risk of accidents and delays due to poor and unsafe site conditions.
