STRUCTURAL PROCESSES:
1. Pre-Construction Preparation
- Design and Engineering Plans: Review blueprints, structural plans, and welding specifications to understand material sizes, joint configurations, and load requirements.
- Site Preparation: Clear and level the site, mark out foundation locations, and verify anchor bolt placement.
- Material Inspection: Ensure all beams, plates, and other components meet quality standards and are free from defects like rust, cracks, or warping.
- Welding Equipment Setup: Test welding machines, tools, and safety gear to confirm they meet project requirements.
- Team Briefing: Provide welders and erectors with instructions on safety, material handling, and the order of operations.
2. Foundation and Base Plate Installation
- Install anchor bolts into the foundation to secure base plates.
- Position and level the base plates with shims or grout to ensure alignment with the structural design.
- Verify that the plates are properly secured to withstand loads during and after assembly.
3. Erection of Columns and Beams
Column Installation
- Erect vertical columns onto the base plates.
- Secure them temporarily with braces or guy wires.
- Perform tack welding or bolting to hold them in position.
Beam Placement
- Erect vertical columns onto the base plates.
- Secure them temporarily with braces or guy wires.
- Perform tack welding or bolting to hold them in position.
4. Sequential Welding and Bolting
- Perform welding or bolting for primary connections following the welding procedure specifications (WPS).
- Ensure welds meet the required standards (e.g., fillet or groove welds).
- Use non-destructive testing (NDT) methods (e.g., ultrasonic or radiographic tests) to inspect critical welds for defects.
- Continuously check alignment and adjust if necessary before moving to the next level.
5. Progressive Build-Up
- Repeat the process floor by floor or section by section:
- Erect the next set of columns and beams.
- Weld or bolt connections securely.
- Add secondary components like bracings, trusses, or joists for structural stability.
6. Integration of Additional Elements
- Weld or install secondary elements such as handrails, platforms, and decking.
- Apply additional finishes like paint or coatings to protect against corrosion or wear.
7. Final Inspection and Quality Control
- Inspect all welds, bolts, and connections for compliance with engineering and safety standards.
- Verify structural alignment, leveling, and stability.
- Perform load testing where necessary to ensure the structure can bear its intended weight.
