6.13. Erection Inspection
The position, level and alignment of erected steelwork shall be confirmed to be in accordance
with SAIC-M-2007 for vertical & horizontal alignment as follows:
 Vertical alignment tolerances = 1/500 as measured by survey equipment from column centre
point (see SAIC-M-2007 Checklist)
 Horizontal alignment tolerances = ±3 mm
 The fabrication tolerance is according to the AISC 303-05 Code of standard practices for
steel building and Bridge. (see Attachment #1)
For beams that are specified in the contract documents with camber, beams received by the
Fabricator with 75% of the specified camber shall require no further cambering. Otherwise, the
variation in camber shall be as follows:
(a) For beams that are equal to or less than 50ft (15,000 mm) in length, the variation shall be equal
to or less than minus zero / plus 1/2in. (13 mm).
(b) For beams that are greater than 50 ft (15,000 mm) in length the variation shall be equal to or
less than minus zero / plus / ½ in. plus 1/8 in. for each 10 ft or fraction thereof (13 mm plus 3
mm for each 3,000 mm or fraction thereof) in excess of 50 ft (15,000 mm) in length.

HAZARDS
A) Falls from height.
B) Structural stability.
C) Inappropriate manual handling.
D) Falling materials.
E) Trapping injuries.
F) Slips, trips and falls.
CONTROL MEASURES
1) Steel erection will be carried out by trained and competent personnel working under supervision.
2) Method statements detailing the proposed erection schemes will be produced. These method statements will
identify hazardous site features and other aspects likely to impair safe erection. The proposed methods for
ensuring the stability of the framework and its components during erection and until completion will also be
addressed.
3) Steelwork will be lifted into position using suitable certificate lifting tackle/equipment.
4) Trained rigger / lifting supervisor will be used to control the lifting operations.
5) Personnel will wear hard helmet, gloves, safety goggles and safety shoes and PPE. Safety harnesses will be worn
and attached to a secure anchor point when erection work is being undertaken.
6) Good housekeeping standards will be maintained.
7) The area of the site affected by erection operations will be authorized as a restricted area: - barriers and notice will
be erected to prohibit entry to non-erection personnel.
