INSTALLATION OF STEEL STRUCTURE – 5 ATTENTIONS

In the field of construction, any type of construction requires close inspection during each construction stage. For steel structure construction, to ensure safety during the installation of steel structure, construction quality and eliminate unnecessary risks and costs. What should be paid attention to when installating of steel structure. Triviet Steel will share in this articles

What is installation of steel structure?

Steel structure construction is popularly used in recent times because of many advantages:

• Save time, cost, and labor
• Steel material is steady
• Sustainable, longevity
• Flexibility

Attentions when preparing the installation of steel structure

1- Ensure occupational safety

This is an important step that ensures safety during installing steel structure pre-engineered buildings. Preparing good quality safety uniforms will reduce risks when erection

• When erecting steel structures on high: seat belts, safety helmets, protective clothing (with reflective), soft gloves, canvas shoes, safety glasses and equipment bags.
• When working on the ground: the work of hooking cables, tying and anchoring structures to lift and lower workers, including: helmets, protective clothing (with reflective), safety shoes (with safety iron toes).
• At the constructions site: always need to equip lifelines, safety nets, scaffolding, forklifts and warning boards when working.

2- Pay attention to weather

Pay attention to the weather environment to be able to plan the appropriate construction. If the weather is bad, there is strong wind, heavy rain will make it difficult for workers to work at high, slippery, leading to unnecessary labor accidents. Absolutely do not use moving equipment such as cranes to transport components in bad weather.

3- Checking equipment, tools, supplies, transporters

Equipment, tools, supplies or vehicles must pass inspection and certification before being put into the installation of steel structure. Especially anchor bolts and links bolts used to connect important structures of prefabricated warehouses.

4- Checking the site, space of steel structure constructions

The construction site needs to be considered and calculated carefully because it is necessary to meet the aisle space for moving vehicles and installing scaffolding. The location of gathering materials and steel components also needs to be convenient for construction.

Installation of steel structure – 5 attentions

The steel structure construction process includes the following basic steps:

• Locating anchor bolts
• Installation of columns, steel truss frames, wind roofs…
• Installation of roof corrugated iron
• Installation of corrugated iron wall
• Installation of drainage systems: gutters, gutters, frills…

1- Making design drawings of steel structures

Design drawings of steel structures are made in collaboration with the investor and the steel structure construction contractor. This will help the construction plan to have the most optimal efficiency.

2- Supervising the installation of steel structure

Each stage of construction is performed by different construction teams. It is necessary to have a person to closely supervise the steel structure installation processes to ensure the correct requirements and quality.

3- Check the system of columns, beams and structural bolts

The system of columns and trusses is the most important component, which needs to be checked meticulously, ensuring absolute certainty after installing the locking truss.

Bolts grade 4.6/s and 8.8/s need to be checked and tightened. Additional spacers or shims should be used to make good contact with the transmission faces when the connection is tightened. Before creating tightening force, it is necessary to check and align the position and direction of the bolts to see if they have met the requirements.

4- Pay attention when moving up and down the erection positions of steel buildings

Protective equipment must be equipped and absolutely safe for workers installed at height

5- Checking the bearing of the main structure in the pre-engineered steel frame factory

Construction supervisors need to check the bearing of the main structure of the pre-engineered steel frame factory. Checking the correct azimuth will make the construction and installation easier, more accurate and more efficient
