1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to ensure that the construction plan for the Steel
work executed, controlled and documented with compliance of the IFC drawings, Approved
Shop Drawings, Project specification and scope of work.
2.0 SCOPE
The scope of this method statement covers the Structural Steel works components and the
assembling of steel elements in the specified areas as per the Project Specification &
Applicable Saudi ARAMCO standards for ARAMCO VIP EXPERIENCE CENTER located in KAFD-
Riyadh. The method statement shall also describe the erection as per approved Shop drawings.
The tools and equipment needed should be in good condition and must be checked by the
leadman and safety personal prior putting it in use. These includes the following:
Hydraulic Trolley.
Drilling tools.
Metal scanning tools.
Electric drill or Battery operated drill machines
Movable or wheeled scaffoldings.
Chain block.
Lifting Slings.
Calibrated Torque Wrench.
Quality control testing equipment.
Hole saw.
Deliver structural steel to Project site in such quantities and at such times to ensure
continuity of installation.
Store materials to permit easy access for inspection and identification. Keep steel
members off ground and spaced by using pallets, platforms, or other supports and
spacers.
Protect steel members and packaged materials from corrosion and deterioration.
Avoid storing materials on structures in a way that could overload, distortion, or harm
the members or supporting structures. As instructed, repair or replace damaged
materials or structures.
Store fasteners, washers…etc.) In a protected place in sealed containers with
manufacturer's labels intact.
The site engineer will ensure that all steel material and documentation (MTS, MRI,
Shop drawings, MOS) are approved prior commencing the activity.
Conduct a meeting with the consultant to inform and discuss any concerns related
to the Steel Frame erection.
Check the stored material to see if it is still in good condition, and metal accessories
if get rusted.
Verify, with certified steel Erector present, elevations of concrete- and masonry-
bearing surfaces and locations of anchor rods, bearing plates, and other
embedment’s for compliance with requirements.
Prepare a certified survey of existing conditions. Include bearing surfaces, anchor
rods, bearing plates, and other embedment’s showing dimensions, locations, angles,
and elevations.
Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
9. PROCEDURES
Submit detailed method statement of fabrication and erection after taking into account all site
logistics and constraints. Refer to constructability section and contractor scope of work.
Base Plates, Bearing Plates, and Levelling Plates: Clean concrete- and masonry-bearing
surfaces of bond-reducing materials and roughen surfaces prior to setting plates. Clean
bottom surface of plates.
Set plates for structural members on wedges, shims, or setting nuts as required.
Snug-tighten anchor rods after supported members have been positioned and plumbed.
Do not remove wedges or shims but, if protruding, cut off flush with edge of plate
before packing with grout.
Promptly pack grout solidly between bearing surfaces and plates so no voids remain.
Neatly finish exposed surfaces; protect grout and allow to cure. Comply with
manufacturer's written installation instructions for shrinkage-resistant grouts.
Align and adjust various members that form part of complete frame or structure before
permanently fastening. Before assembly, clean bearing surfaces and other surfaces that
will be in permanent contact with members.
Perform necessary adjustments to compensate for discrepancies in elevations and
alignment.
Level and plumb individual members of structure.
The steel frame will be erected along the wall. Secure approved RFI copy for structure.
The works shall be executed in accordance with the following methodology and
sequence:
Drill holes into concrete core wall for the required depth.
Drill holes into the R.C slabs at a distance of 600mm from core wall to set the base plate
and upper plate, to facilitate the required distance needed for the CATWALK
passageway.
Install the modular framing parts starting with the lower level going up by each module
until reaching the 14th floor slab.
Chain Hoist System
The system used to lift the modules from the ground and place them in their designed
location is the following:
As seen in the previous results, the CHS can withstand the applied load by the modules
and the system can be used to lift the steel frame.
The following dimensions must be controlled: A -Steel line to outer bolt row
Diagonal distance between bolt groups.
Distance from axis centre line to bolt row, Distance between bolts.
Distance between frame axes.
Distance between Steel Lines Levels Foundations Anchor Bolt protrusions
- After completing all clips and accessories, a final inspection of the structure will be made.
- M12 bolts torqueing is taken into consideration, also used calibrated torque wrench to 100
Nm.
- Check all connection to ensure all bolts are installed as per approved S.D and calculations.
- Clean up the site.
- All clear height, width and length to be checked.
- Handing over the Structure.
The steel structure erection is a major and important part of the project. It is very important to
have a stringent look on the erection schedule as well as delivery schedule. The driving element
between the both schedules is the delivery schedule if the erection team is efficiently working at site.
The Schedule will be submitted separately after approving the Steel drawings.
11. RESPONSIBILITY
The site engineer is responsible for planning the required resources and carry out the erection
of Steel framing utilizing the approved material, and as per the best industry standard. The
engineer should coordinate with other disciplines and to resolve and conflict that may arise.
The construction manager shall follow up with the site engineer to ensure the work is carried
out as per the committed schedule. He should notify the management team of any issue that
may delay the completion of the work and propose solution to mitigate such risks.
QC Inspector shall be responsible in monitoring and inspection of the work and ensures that
the work is performed and properly documented in accordance with ITP, MOS, and industry
Standards.
Safety Supervisor shall be responsible in monitoring safety aspects and ensuring that the work
is done in accordance with Safety Standard Procedure.
He shall carry out regular toolbox talk to raise the workers’ awareness about maintaining the
PPE and how to carry out the job with zero LTI.
12. SAFETY
Obtain necessary work permits from the concerned Representative intended for the job before
starting any work.
Arrange all required safety equipment and tools for the commencement of the work.
Provide warning sign and sufficient barricade on working area. Only assigned personnel will be
allowed in the area to maintain a safe work environment.
Conduct safety briefing to all working crew to remind them of all the safety requirements on
the job. All work force will comply with occupational HSE compliance policy by wearing
overalls, safety shoes, googles, gloves, and, helmets.
Continuous monitoring and inspection shall be implemented by the site supervisor/foreman
together with the assigned safety supervisor in the area. Any unsafe practices while performing
the work activities shall be corrected immediately to avoid stoppage of the work.
Good housekeeping shall be maintained throughout the work activity. The work site shall be
kept clean and safe. Do not keep any standby materials on the scaffolding.
Safety Supervisor shall monitor the work activities to help and protect all assigned workers
against exposure to safety hazards. He shall ensure that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s)
are supplied and worn at all times.
