3.0. Working Method

3.1. Fabrication Process

 After the delivery of raw material, material shall be visually inspected by fabricator to
assure the surface finish & shape. Material marking shall be carried out followed by cutting
the material using cutting machine. Cutting tolerance shall be ±5mm.

 Holes on material to be drilled using drill machine & then cutting edges and holes shall be
de-burred by grinding.

2
 Cover plate at the base of the vertical post to be welded, followed by cleaning.

 Fabricated material shall be sent to site.

3.2. Delivery & Unloading of Materials to Site

 Material shall be delivered to site using Lorry depend on the weight, Length & shape of the
material.

 Material shall be unloading manually.

3.3. Scaffolding & working platform

 Scaffolding & working platform shall be provided by main contractor as per request from- ----.
Scaffolding platform should be with the “Safe to use” tag.

3.4. Installation of SS Railing Works

3.4.1. Installation of Fixing SS Bracket:

 The site personnel or supervisor must check the level and mark the bolt hole location.

 Site setting out to be carried out using the reference points given by main contractor.

 Drilling to be carried out for base bracket mechanical anchors & followed by installation of
base bracket.

 To install the 100 X 115 X 9 mm thk SS base plate using with 4 nos of M12 Hilti HAS anchor
bolt in existing RC structure.

 Hilti concrete drill machine must be used to make a hole for M12 anchor bolt.

3.4.2. Installation of Stainless Steel Railing:

 Before start the installation site supervisor must check the size of Pre-Fabricated SS railing
measurement.

 Mark the exact vertical Balustrade location (38 X 9 mm Flat Bar) location in existing 100 X
115 X 9 mm base plate followed with approved drawings.

3
 After that install the SS railing using with existing base plate marking line. Railings
temporarily installed with tag welding.

 Make sure the level and alignment if correct before complete the full welding process.

 Continuing the railing installation follow with above mentioned process at entire staircase.

 Make sure all the welding joint must be followed by site WPS and specification.

 Visual welding inspection must be carried out in all the welding joint

 Dye penetrant inspection test shall be conducted in fillet weld joints.

 During installation of SS railing, the site personal must check the workmanship of the
installer to ensure that the level and alignment of the railing.

3.5. Installation of SS Glass Railing Balustrade Works

3.5.1. Installation of Fixing SS Bracket:

 The site personnel or supervisor must check the level and mark the bolt hole location.

 Site setting out to be carried out using the reference points given by main contractor.

 Drilling to be carried out for base bracket mechanical anchors & followed by installation of
base bracket.

 To install the 200 X 175 X 15 mm thk SS base plate using with 4 nos of M12 Hilti HAS anchor
bolt in existing RC structure.

 Hilti concrete drill machine must be used to make a hole for M12 anchor bolt.

3.5.2. Installation of Stainless Steel Glass Railing Balustrade:

 Before start the installation site supervisor must check the size of Pre-Fabricated SS
Balustrade measurement.

 Mark the exact vertical Balustrade location (65 X 9 mm Flat Bar) location in existing 200 X
175 X 15 mm thk base plate followed with approved drawings.

 After that install the Pre-Fabricated SS vertical balustrade using with existing base plate
marking line. Glass railing vertical balustrade temporarily installed with tag welding.

 Make sure the level and alignment if correct before complete the full welding process.

4
 Glass installation by others.

 Finally install the Ø 50 X 1.5 mm thk SS top railing in to the existing vertical balustrade using
with full weld.

 Make sure all the welding joint must be followed by site WPS and specification.

 Visual welding inspection must be carried out in all the welding joint.

 Dye penetrant inspection test shall be conducted in fillet weld joints.

 During installation of SS glass railing, the site personal must check the workmanship of the
installer to ensure that the level and alignment of the railing.

4.0. Material and Test Certificates and Reports

4.1 Inspection & Testing

 Material Inspection - Prior to fabrication works.
 Pull-out Test - Base Plate anchor Bolt M16x120HSA.
(100% of Hilti Pull-out Test)

4.2 Material, Test Certificates & Reports

 Material Test Certificates / Mill Certificates.
 Welding Test Reports.
 Pull-out Test Reports.

5.0. Waste Management

 Materials/equipment must be stored in one place. Do not scatter.
 Segregate hazardous from non-hazardous materials.
 Damaged materials must be put directly to waste, if not re-usable.
 Re-use the recyclable materials, if any.
 Arrange area waste management for the volume of waste created by work activities per
Designation.
 If noticed that nearby area is not complying with the overall Waste Management Systematic
site, report at once to the respective supervisor in-charged.

5
 Ensure waste to be taken for final disposal from the site daily.
 Maintain the workplace clean and tidy

6.0. Completion

 Upon completion of the installation, all the surfaces must be left clean and free from
Welding drop, sharp edges, Welding joint marking number, Welding Joints touch up with
galvanised paint, Scratched or damage of any kind.

7.0. Protection and Defective Works

 Should there be any deformation or defect, including failure of items occurring during the
defect liability period, such defective work or item shall be remove and renewed.
 Any defective component shall not be installed. Members with damage parts during or prior
to installation shall be removed and replaced prior to final handing over.
 Joint inspection to be carried out with relevant parties prior to the proper handing over.
8.0. Safety Procedures

 All personnel shall have attend the in-house safety induction course and all tooling much
have passed all inspections as per required.
 Installation works shall start with a daily toolbox meeting highlighting the current activity
hazards and ensuring all permits are approved to work.

 Welding/grinding and installation of elements steel and glass are the key activity in respect
to our scope of work.
 Welding work should be carried out by certified welders & Always wear shield when
welding
 Physical injury and material damages will probably be the key risk to Health and Safety
which is associated with welding and/or grinding, installing and transporting any of the
elements.
 The following are the key safety measures and precautions to be implemented to control
the Health and Safety Risks:
 Basic PPE and specific PPE for particular tasks.
 Safety harness when working at height
 Scaffolding – ensure staging and platforms are safe as approved for use.
