8.1 Job Site Planning & Preparation
 Make sure there is space and firmed pathway for truck delivery, crane truck erection operation. The
suitable truck & crane capacity must be clarified (and listed in the equipment register).
 Survey the wind direction to have plan for roof material storage and installation direction.
 Decide the plan for unloading and material storage. Choose a firm and dry location. Materials shall
be stored in designated areas for each building and clearly identified for their location in that area.
Make sure that materials supply and storage schedule is appropriate and not conflict with the
installation schedule and other sub-contractors’ schedules.
 Register the available power & water supply source locations at the site. Make sure there is a safe
method to lead the supply to the working area.
8.2 Receiving of Material at Site
 All delivery to site shall be informed by production people to the site manager 24 hours earlier to
have plan for unloading.
 A delivery note is always enclosed with the supplied materials to clarify name of project, location,
building number, type of materials, quantity, date of delivery, etc.….
 Upon arrival of materials at the storage yard, the material controller will match delivery notes and
shall verify the consignment. The material controller, then, report to the site supervisor the received
material list and quality condition.
 Unloading can be done manually or with cranes. A spreader should be used for lifting long
components. Lifting nylon or cloth belts with suitable SWL (Safe Work Load) shall be used for
unloading the materials to minimize the damage. Be sure to hook belts to component with the right
no. of points and position so that the load of component itself do not damaged or broken.
 Always attach a tag line to the lifting component.
 All materials receipt at site shall be visually inspected by site supervisor for any damage. Remedial
works to the damage shall be taken immediately, if possible, to avoid any delay to erection.
8.3 Sequence of Erection

The structural frames and other parts can be erected in various ways which will depend on the
following key factors:
 The type of structures such as: small clear span, large clear span, taper I structure, open-web
structure, etc.
 The availability of equipment such as cranes, winch, manually lift, etc.
 The site conditions.
 The experience level of the erectors.
 The individual job conditions.
 The sequence/method of erection shall be studied and planned so that execution can be carried out
in a safe, economical, and efficient manner.

There are certain erection practices which are in general use and have proven sound over the years.
Below is typical instruction applied for a single/double span structure.
8.4 Unloading, Arrangement, Storage and Protect Material

UNLOADING
Materials will be transported to job site separately or on the skid put in container and will be
unloaded by crane.
Temporary road in the job site must be prepared properly for heavy crane and trucks without
damage to the access roads.
Prior to unloading materials out of trucks or containers, it is required to take pictures of the
actual material status delivered to job site.
8.5 Material Arrangement

To avoid materials being moved so much on jobsite that might cause unexpected damages to
paint, shapes, when material delivered to job site, it shall be unloaded and arranged close to the
designed erection point. Materials shall be stacked in locations according to the building/areas,
should be near to the lifting position adjacent to the area to be erected. This is to facilitate the
sorting and delivery during the erection.

The conditions of each area, the material arrangement plan may different but in general,
materials will be arranging as following principle to ease moving, combination and erection after
later.
Leave 01 end open for erection machine throughout erection period .
Members should be checked park mark as packing list enclosed before unloading for best
unloaded positions.
Columns should be arranged closed to their anchor bolt position.
Rafter members should be arranged to ensure easy assembly and movement.
Girts, purlins, eave struts and bracing are divided according to the requirements of each bay.
Nested parts (purlins, girts etc.) should be separated and blocked to allow drainage of collected
moisture to prevent rusting, prior to erection.
End wall material is laid out for each end.
Small components (nuts, bolts, clips, fasteners etc.) are stored in each area convenient to all
parts of the building.
Wall, roof paneling and other components which will not be used in the initial stage of erecting
the steel, are placed to the outside of the work area, and properly stored and protected from the
weather.
8.6 Protection & Storage Materials At Site

- Lift slightly rafter up

- Workers on the ground will drive rafter to right
position in coordination with crane.
- Workers standing on scaffolding will adjust
rafter for bolting.
- After rafter was connected to right positions,
workers will follow rafter with PPE attached to
static lines to install temporary purlins, rod
bracings, flange braces.
- Crane is only released when all connection bolts were tightening, temporary bracings, bracing purlins,
flange braces were installed adequately.
- Make sure there are at least 02 braced purlins were installed for each rafter portion when there are
many more than 01 rafter portions.
- Temporary cables will be applied during mainframe erection period, up to certain case, the number of
these cable can be deducted to avoid blocking erection process.
ERECTION SEQUENCE
Braced bay erection
- Braced bay must be erected in priority
- After completion 02 frames of braced bay, all components such as brace rod , flange brace , etc. of this
bay must be completed as design, to set up the space stable place for next frames. Temporary bracing
should be applied for this bay during erection for safety.
- Braced bay frames must be temporarily aligned before installation purlins, bracings to avoid difficulties
may get if conducting alignment for remained frames after that.
- After completion frames alignment, request to have approval of Client before sheeting task
- Alignment Method is performed in Appendix 03
- Filling grouting should be done before sheeting.
- Remaining frames erection
- Proceed with the erection of the remaining frames and bearing end frames.

Structures Erection
`
Erection
- In each braced bay shown on the erection drawings, repeat step 5.3.1 before proceeding with the
erection of additional bays.
- Eave struts and peak purlins may be installed in intermediate bays between braced bays to stabilize
frames, however, do not start more work than can be completed in a work day to ensure all structural
framing is completed in those days before leaving the site at the end of the day.
- As erection progresses, each braced bay must be fully completed as outlined in step 5.3.1 before
proceeding with the erection of additional bays.
- Finish Frames & Accessories
- Complete erection of main and secondary framing
- Upon Completion of all secondary framing in the braced bay, plumbing and squaring the braced bay,
installing secondary framing in the end bay, paneling may commence and be worked in conjunction with
the completion of the balance of the secondary framing. This could save time on larger buildings if
separate sheeting crews are used.
When the building reaches this stage of erection, sheeting should proceed immediately. The structure without sheeting
should not be left standing for prolonged periods of time without taking proper precautions (temporary bracing, blocking
etc.) to prevent wind damage especially to purlins and girts due to excessive vibration they are exposed to in the un-
sheeted condition.

FRAME PLUMBING
By mean of Plumb bob B
- As soon as all purlins, girts and eave struts have been

installed in the braced bay, it should be accurately
plumbed and squared to insure correct alignment of the
succeeding bays. This is accomplished by adjusting the
diagonal bracing and temporary bracing in the roof and
wall planes.
- With all the rods loosely installed, plumb the columns of
the rigid frame by tightening or loosening the nut on the
brace rods.
- Remember, when one brace rod is tightened, the other
rod must be loosened.
- When columns are plumb, sidewall brace rods should be A
finally tightened to a “TUT” condition.
- Dimension “B” must be the same as dimension “A” for Ridge
column to be plumb. See Fig. 1. point
- The roof beams should be aligned in progression from the

eave to the ridge. Plumb the roof rafter at each
connection point and the ridge by tightening or loosening
the rods at those points.
Plumb
- Stretch a line across the flanges at the base of the column. bob
Drop a plumb bob from ridge point of the roof rafter;

adjust as necessary so that the plumb bob is in
line with line at base of columns. When this occurs, the ridge is plumb. See fig. 2.
