as per project specification in compliance with Quality, Schedule and HSE requirement.
 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER
The construction manager is responsible for that construction activities are executed
according to the relevant project specification, in compliance with Quality, Schedule and
HSE requirement.
 HSE MANAGER
The Safety Manager has to monitor the implementation and adherence to this procedure
and report violations and / or noncompliance issues to project management for immediate
corrective action.
 MECHANICAL SUPERVISOR
The mechanical supervisor assign jobs to crew and inspects the work done by the crew in
the work area and monitors the fabrication work. And maintains drawings and inventory.
 SCAFFOLD SUPERVISOR
Scaffold Supervisor shall inspect all erection of scaffolds and components for defects as
the erection proceeds Any components found to be defective shall be set aside and tagged
“rejected-do-not use“. Only trained and certified personnel will inspect scaffolds.
5.0 SPECIALIZED TOOLING EQUIPMENT
5.0 Manual Spanners

5.1 Pneumatic Impact Wrenches
5.2 Torque Wrench
5.3 Air Compressor
5.4 Crane, Boom truck, Fork lift
6.0 WORK SEQUENCE
6.1 Welding
a) Welding in the field shall confirm to the related codes and standards as well as
to the Corresponding drawings. All parts to be welded shall be clean of paint,
oil, Rust and other materials that may affect the Welding.
b) After the completion of the welding, all slag and spatter shall be removed from
the Welded area. Visual inspection shall be carried out to ensure that weld is
visually acceptable and weld profile is adequate in accordance with approved
welding procedure and specification. NDT to be performed.
c) The welding shall be performed in line with the approved & applicable welding
procedures and the welders shall be qualified to the ASME SEC IX / AWS
D1.1.
6.2 Erection
a) All structural steel shall be erected in accordance with the IFC (Issued for Construction)
of the erection drawings.
b) Anchor bolts and connection points shall be inspected for damage.
c) The methods of lifting and fixing shall be determined so that the members are
Not damaged during the handling process. The structural components shall be lifted
By means of mechanical lifting equipment’s. During erection, all work shall be
Securely bolted, however no permanent bolting and welding shall be done unless the
Correct positioning and alignment of the member has been obtained. All completed
Work shall be within the required dimensional tolerances and all materials shall be
free of twists or distortions that are likely to affect the structural integrity.
d) All the members shall be checked about damaged paint and if required, touch-up paint
Shall be done as per specifications.
e) It shall be checked to ensure that the correct bolt type as indicated by the
Manufacturer’s stamp is used and the bolt length is correct.
f) Columns shall be positioned on the concrete foundations, with the nuts on the fixing
Bolts left loose. These nuts shall be tightened using electric operated or manual
Wrenches and special care shall be taken to provide surfaces that are free from loose
Mill scale, dirt, oil, burrs or any other defect which would prevent tight sealing.
g) Nuts and bolts shall also be left loose for beams that are assembled between two
Structural steel columns. After this fit- up, the positioning shall be checked, and if
required, adjustments shall be made in order to obtain the required tolerances
And the nuts and bolts shall be permanently tightened.
h) Each part of the structure shall be aligned as soon as possible after it has been
Erected. Permanent connections shall not be made between members until sufficient
Sections of the Structure have been aligned, leveled, plumbed (Verticality). After
ensuring that Members will not be displaced during subsequent erection or alignment
of the Remainder of the structure, permanent fixing will be done. Fixed elements shall
be braced to each other safely.
i) Tolerances for out of plumb and levels shall be as specified in the specifications and
drawings.
j) After the alignment and bolting of the steel structure, but before grouting, all anchor
bolts and nuts shall be tightened while the shims are checked with regard to their
tight fit. After the hardening of the grouting compound, the anchorage shall again be
checked and, if required, the nuts shall be tightened once again.
6.3 Tightening of the bolts:
a) Connections shall be installed in properly aligned holes

b) Torque bolts will be marked so they can be easily identified during inspection
c) Bolts shall be installed in all holes of the connections.
d) Bolts shall be tightened by impact wrenches and brought up to required torque
e) By using calibrated torque wrench bolt tightening will be done
7.0 SAFETY
In addition to the Project Safety Plan the following shall be implemented:
a) All the work force shall be completed their safety induction before commencement of
their work .
b) 100% PPE shall be implemented (hard hat , safety shoe, safety goggles, coverall and
gloves )
c) Valid work permit to be obtain from the operation Department
d) Job safety analysis is attached.
e) Toolbox meeting at site will be conducted for the team on daily basis at the start of
work.
f) Trained and competent personnel working under the supervision of the site supervisor
shall carry out steel erection.
g) Steel structure shall be lifted into position using suitable size of lifting Shackle/
equipment and tools.
h) Competent riggers shall be used to control the lifting operations.
i) All the lifting tools shall be valid third party certificate.
j) All the equipment must have valid third party load test report.
k) All the operator must have valid Saudi equipment license.
l) All equipment operator must have valid Aramco certified.
m) All vehicle drivers should have Saudi license.
n) Personnel shall wear PPE all times. The safety harness shall be worn and attached to
a secure anchor point when erection work is being undertaken along with 100% tie off.
o) Ladders will be attached on the columns prior to lifting activity.
p) Good housekeeping standards shall be maintained in areas where equipment erection
is being undertaken.
q) The areas of the site affected by erection operations shall be designated as a hazard
area. Barriers and notices will be erected to warn non-erection personnel.
r) All the tools must be monthly inspected and provided the color coded according to the
project specification.
s) Steel shall be stored in a designated area on a wooden skid and barricaded.
t) Tag lines shall be used when lifting/ traveling steel work by cranes.
u) No erection will be done when wind speed is 9 km/sec or larger.
v) All the work crew must be completed work at height training.
w) Covid-19 vaccination to be competed and internal monitoring system should be
implemented.
x) Guide rope to be used to secure the vertical column
