Specification for Structural Steelwork Erection

e) If the ERECTION CONTRACTOR uses temporary restraints during erection which do

not substitute for permanent features, they may be removed after the structure has
been lined, levelled and plumbed provided that sufficient steelwork and/or permanent
bracing has been erected to ensure the stability of the structure under the worst
expected conditions of dead, imposed and wind/earthquake loading.
f) In cases where the ERECTION CONTRACTOR intends to rely on the baseplate of
erected columns to temporarily act as a fixed base until permanent lateral supports are
installed calculations shall be provided to demonstrate the baseplate and anchor bolts
can safely carry the overturning moments generated by wind loading.

7.10 Erection loads

a) The ERECTION CONTRACTOR shall ensure that no part of the structure is
permanently distorted by stacking of materials or by temporary erection loads during
the erection process.
b) No equipment or other loads shall be supported from the steelwork until correct
position and alignment has been obtained and the structure is securely connected and
grouted to its foundations.

7.11 Lining and levelling

a) Each part of the structure shall be aligned as soon as practicable after it has been
erected. Permanent connections shall not be made between members until sufficient
sections of the structure have been aligned, levelled, plumbed and temporarily
connected to ensure that members will not be displaced during subsequent erection or
alignment of the remainder of the structure.
b) In the case of multi-storey structures, the steelwork up to the first column splice level
shall be plumbed, aligned, levelled, permanently bolted up with all bracing in position,
and column bases grouted up and anchor bolts tightened, before proceeding above
that level.

7.12 Field holes

Any hole required in the field shall be made by drilling. No burning or punching shall be
permitted unless authorised by CONTRACTOR.

7.13 Welding
a) Steelwork shall only be welded when specifically called for on the construction

associated increased friction resistance to tightening) torque controlled tightening
of pre-tensioned bolts is not permitted.
c) Bolt assemblies shall be galvanised in accordance with Specification for Structural
Steelwork Fabrication, document number EG001-ST-SPE-11-0001.
d) Bolt assemblies which seize when being tightened shall be replaced.

7.15 Bolt length

The bolt length shall be chosen such that, after tightening, at least one thread plus the thread
run-out will be clear between the nut and the unthreaded shank of the bolt, and at least one
clear thread shall show above the nut.

7.16 Washers
a) All bolt assemblies require a washer to be placed under the rotating part.
b) The number of washers below the nut head shall not exceed two and a maximum of
one washer can be installed below the bolt head.
c) A suitable plate or heavy duty washer shall be used under the head and nut when bolts
are used to assemble components with oversize or slotted holes. (See RCSC which
requires an oversize washer to ASTM F436M to cover outer ply of oversize holes and
short slotted holes for ASTM A325M bolts. For long slotted holes and ASTM A325M
bolts a minimum of 8mm thick common plate washer shall be used to completely
cover the hole)

7.17 Taper washers

When the bolt head or nut is in contact with a surface which is inclined more than 3 from a
plane at right angles to the bolt axis, a taper washer shall be placed to achieve satisfactory
bearing.

7.18 Bolt tightening

a) All ASTM A307 bolts shall be snug tightened
b) ASTM A325M bolts shall be tightened as a minimum to snug tightened
c) If indicated as pre-tensioned on drawings then the ASTM A325M bolt group will first
be snug tightened and then will be further tightened so that DTI washer or squirter
DTI washer indicate the required tension has been reached. The DTI washer will be
paired with a hardened washer specified so that hardness after galvanising is minimum
of HRC 38 (HRC=Rockwell Hardness C scale).
d) ASTM A325M bolts which have been tightened as pre-tensioned shall not be re-
used. ASTM A325M bolts which have been snug tightened may be re-used only if
the nut can be run up the bolt threads by hand. ASTM A307 bolts shall only be re-used
if the nut can be run up the bolt threads by hand.
