3 Execution

3.1 Erection - General

Erection work shall be in accordance with AISC Specifications and Code of Standard Practice.

Field Measurements

Before starting erection work. verify location and elevation of all foundations, anchor bolts, leveling plates and existing structural steel, and promptly report to the OWNER any errors or discrepancies so that immediate correction may be made.

Handling

Assume responsibility for safety and condition of steel until erected work is accepted by the OWNER. Steel shall be handled in a manner that will maintain it free of mud, dirt, or other foreign substances and that neither the material nor the shop applied prime paint will be damaged. Damage to work and materials of others resulting from improper handling of steel or failure to maintain adequate precautions, shall be the CONTRACTOR's responsibility and he shall arrange for the necessary repairs at his expense.

3.4 Storing

3.2

•

3.3

If required and available, adequate storage space for steel and necessary tools and equipment will be allocated at the site. Keep stored parts properly drained and clear of ground by means of timbers and blocking or other means.

3.5 Setting Steel

3.5.1 Accurately erect structural steel to lines and levels established in field from data shown on the design drawings. Temporarily brace and bolt to resist dead loads, wind and erection stresses, and to ensure safety to the structure until permanent field connections are completed.
