 DIVISION 13: SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION

DIVISION 13 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION addresses structures designed for a very specific end-
use, such as a greenhouse, which require detailed construction specifications and methods tailored to
that unique building function.  it also includes the installation of similarly specified and particular sub-
systems, such as a bank vault, within conventionally constructed buildings. division 13 construction
projects tend to require professional insight and construction expertise, making them more expensive to
design and build than standard projects. division 13 structures and systems often offer less flexibility
for future space re-utilization because of the unique nature of their original design intent.

operation and maintenance of swimming pools covers information related to the operation and
maintenance of swimming pools, that occurs during the life cycle of a structure.  swimming pools
require ongoing maintenance to ensure usability and sanitation.  depending on the geographic location
of a swimming pool maintenance may include weatherization to prevent damage from freezing
temperatures.  over time the mechanical components of a swimming pool may need to be replaced or
repaired.

stress instrumentation includes information related to stress instrumentation.  stress instrumentation are
used to evaluate, measure and record structural stress occurrences that effect a building.

DIVISION 13 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION is intended for the ae to prepare construction

documents and design requirements for special construction items and systems such as audio-metric
rooms, clean rooms, hyperbaric rooms, growth chambers, isolation rooms, biohazard areas,
observatories, radioisotope areas, animal facilities, environmental structures, shielded rooms, vaults,
pools, greenhouses, pre-engineered buildings and similar specially designed facilities not specifically
addressed in these standards.
 DIVISION 14- CONVEYING SYSTEM

1. Scaffolding and platforms

Fall protection or fall arrest systems: Each worker more than 10 feet above a lower level shall be
protected from falls by guardrails or a fall arrest system, except those on single-point and two-point
adjustable suspension scaffolds. Each employee on a single-point and two-point adjustable suspended
scaffold shall be protected by both a personal fall arrest system and a guardrail.

Guardrail height: The height of the top rail for scaffolds manufactured and placed in service must be
between 0.9 meters and 1.2 meters.

Cross bracing: When the cross point of cross bracing is used as a top rail, it must be between 0.97 m
and 1.3 meters above the work platform.

Midrails: Must be installed approximately halfway between the top rail and the platform surface. When
a crosspoint of crossbracing is used as a midrail, it must be between 0.5 meters and 0.8 m above the
work platform.

Footings: Shall be leveled and capable of supporting the loaded scaffold. The legs, poles, frames, and
uprights shall bear on base plates and mud sills.

Platforms: Shall be fully planked or decked.

Guying ties, and braces: Supported scaffolds with a height-to-base of more than 4:1 shall be restrained
from tipping by guying, tying, bracing, or the equivalent.

Capacity: Scaffolds and scaffold components must support at least 4 times the maximum intended load.
Suspension scaffold rigging must at least 6 times the intended load.

Training: Employers must train each employee who works on a scaffold on the hazards and the
procedures to control the hazard.

Inspections: Before each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect the structural integrity, a
competent person must inspect the scaffold and scaffold components for visible defects.

Erecting and Dismantling: When erecting and dismantling supported scaffolds, a competent person
must determine the feasibility of providing a safe means of access and fall protection for these
operations.

1.1 Requirements

The standard requires a competent person to perform the following duties under these circumstances:

In General:

- To select and direct employees who erect, dis- mantle, move, or alter scaffolds.

- To determine if it is safe for employees to work on or from a scaffold during storms or high winds
and to ensure that a personal fall arrest system or wind screens protect these employees.

For Training:

- To train employees involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or

inspecting scaffolds to recognize associated work hazards.

For Inspections:

- To inspect scaffolds and scaffold components for visible defects before each work shift and after any
occurrence which could affect the structural integrity and to authorize prompt corrective actions.
- To inspect ropes on suspended scaffolds prior to each work shift and after every occurrence which
could affect the structural integrity and to authorize prompt corrective actions.

For Suspension Scaffolds:

- To evaluate direct connections to support the load.

- To evaluate the need to secure two-point and multi-point scaffolds to prevent swaying.

For Erectors and Dismantlers:

- To determine the feasibility and safety of providing fall protection and access.

- To train erectors and dismantlers to recognize associated work hazards.

1.2 Capacity

a. Each scaffold and scaffold component must support without failure its own weight and at least four
times the maximum intended load applied or transmitted to it.

b. A qualified person must design the scaffolds, which are loaded in accordance with that design.

c. Scaffolds and scaffold components must not be loaded in excess of their maximum intended loads or
rated capacities, whichever is less.

d. Load carrying timber members should be a minimum of 1,500 lb-f/in2 construction grade lumber.

1.3 Scaffold Platform Construction

 Leg braces should be correctly installed to the frame of the scaffold.

 The standards, planks, and scaffold are level and true.

 Planks, brackets, toeboards, and tubes should be installed rigidly, and the wedges should be
very tight.

 Mud sills and base plates should be the correct size and installed rigidly to the scaffold frame.

 There should be at least 10’ of clearance between electrical hazards and scaffolds as per
OSHA regulations. If the distance is less than 10’, then you’ll need to shut off the line.
