LCP LYCORZIP INSTALLATION DETAILS

KICK OFF OF A PROJECT

 Receive the WORK ORDER from Client
 Based on the received input CAD drawing of the
roof plan , LCP Design department will
work out the roof sheet layout and
arrive the tentative length of sheet from ridge to
eave & no of sheets.
 Same drawings and BOQ shall be sent to client for
confirmation and after conformation , LCP shall
plan , check the materials and coils availability
accordingly.
 SITE VISIT

 Site visit has to be done by the LCP authorised person

to check for site readiness before roll forming machine
sent to site.
 Profile machine will be sent to site when LCP in charge
certified that site is ready for sheet roll forming
 Approximate Area required for roll forming is 10m x
50m =500sqm. Preferable location is at the Gable side
of the building.
 The required area may be increased depends up on the
length and quantity of the sheets.
 SITE REQUIREMENT
 Loading & Unloading of profile machine
container ,Fixing of coils in decoiler at site with
help of 15 Ton Hydra 2nos at the ground level.
 Power of 22 KV(Lycorzip) will be Required for
Roll forming machine and the same need to be
provided by the client .
 Adequate man power required to start the roll
forming for handling the roll formed sheets &
loading of coils in decoiler need to be provided
by Client.
PROFILE MACHINE LOADING IN SITE AT GROUND LEVEL
 PROFILE SHEETS HANDLING
 Before start the roll forming power & coil loading has
to be done.
 Place the roller stands at 2mtr intervals to hold the
roll formed sheets.
 Workers used for forming to handle the sheets they
must wear proper PPES & safety induction to be
done .
 Workers should be placed 4mtr intervals to handle
the sheets.
 For stocking the roll formed sheets 1mtr x100mm
wooden pieces placed in ground surface of 2mtrs
intervals.
PROFILED SHEETS HANDLING AT
GROUND LEVEL
 PROFILING

 Roll formed (LYCORZIP) sheets are stacked not

more than 15nos in a bundle.
 Sheets are stacked not more than the required
qty . It may cause difference in width of sheets.
 Stacked Roll formed sheets were tied properly by
wire rope in 5mtrs interval.
 Profile sheets should be handled with care at all
times to preserve the quality of the finish.
 Sheets should be always be kept dry and stored
above ground level whilst on site.
 LENGTH
 The sheets are manufactured at LCP Building
Products factory or on construction site.
 The length of the sheet is a function of design
requirements ,geometry of the roof , site
conditions and Workability ,height of the rib and
transportation constraints.
 Lengths specified must be actual site
measurements and not plan dimensions.
 The length should be measured accurately by the
site in charge from ridge to eave and to be
informed to the LCP roll forming machine operator.
 Allowance should be made for clearance at the
ridge of normally around 50mm
 At the eaves. the overhang allowed for in to the
gutter which is normally not less than 50mm.
 The tolerance of the length of product supplied is
± 15mm .
LYCORZIP PROFILE
 LCP LYCORZIP
 Standing seam roof profile of 480mm effective
cover width having crest height of 75mm.
 Sheet seamed with heavy duty electrical
portable seaming machine to withstand wind
uplift and foot traffic.

 Standing seam roof system is an exceptional

water proofing roof system due to its high ribs.

 SHEET LIFTING PROCESS
 Roll formed sheet are to be stacked adjacent only
 Before lifting the sheets to roof we have to tie the
rope from ground to roof.
 Rope to be connected in bottom to the pegs and
top to the Gable angle.
 Pegs to be hammered in ground surface with the
interval of minimum 2 metres.
 Pegs should be placed adjacent from 5mtr from
the building in gable end or to be increased more
as per site condition.
 Profiled sheet need to be bundled and safely
barricaded at site by client with some safety
signage boards to avoid damage of sheet
due to any passing by vehicles or other third
parties if any at site .
 Working platform has to be planned always
at the gable end for lifting the sheets and for
roll forming.
 SHEET FIXING

 Before Lifting the sheets the installer need to

check the purlin alignments and sag rods or
channels are installed .
 Purlin spacing should be as per design
requirement or maximum 1500mm.
 Gutters has to be fixed in the eave end before
fixing of sheets.
 The first sheet has to be fixed with proper
alignment as per given drawing specifications .
 FASTENERS
 Fixing of clips EJOT or any approved ®
Fasteners were used .
 Per clip minimum 2nos fasteners need to be
used. fasteners qty may be increased depends
up on the wind load calculation.
 The flat shape of the screw head is very
important and the installer to ensure the
head shall not puncture the flat plan of the
roof sheet.

SEAMING PROCESS FOR LYCORZIP
 FOOT TRAFFIC

 Standing seam roof can be walked on

anywhere without damaging it.
 It is advisable to walk on the flat portion of the
panel or at the purlin location for a better
performance of the profile.
 LCP Standing seam roofing shall not be used as
a working platform.
 Use a safety rope ,wear proper rubber footwear,
wear safety glasses ,gloves ,anchors and fall
protection system need to be used. Each and
every step need to be placed safely with utmost
attention
 Foot traffic at the flashing location , Roof ridge
location , sheet overhang location need to be
avoided.
 CUTTING

 Sheeting can be cut, where necessary, by means of

metal snips or electrical nibbler.
 The cutting discs should be mostly avoided .
 CLEAN UP
 Ensure that all debris ,nails ,rivets ,screws and
especially filings& particles from cutting or drilling ,
are carefully cleared from the surface after each
day’s work to avoid premature corrosion of LCP
roofing profiles
OIL CANNING
 As in all flat pan-roofing profiles, the flat surfaces of
the metal sheets may exhibit some degree of
undulation known as “Oil Canning”
 The extent and degree of oil canning will generally
depend on factors such as width of the flat pan, the
radius of the curved roof, variations in level of the
purlins or batten supports, etc.
 Oil canning is regarded as an inherent
characteristic, not a defect of flat pan standing
seam roofing profiles
SOLAR PANEL FIXING PROVISION
 Seaming portion of our LCP Lycorzip shall be used
as a clamp rail for fixing solar panels.
 Solar panels shall be fixed by means of “U”
clamps that are being tightened to the seaming
portion of LCP standing seam panels.
TYPICAL FIXING DRAWING
SOLAR PANEL FIXING PROVISION
 Bolts of the U clamp shall be tightened manually
to the seaming portion of the standing seam
panel.
 Care should be ensured that the seaming portion
or sheet has not been damaged or punctured on
carrying the above exercise.
 Once the U clamps has been fixed solar panel
frames shall be connected to U clamp by means of
bolt available at the crest of the U clamp.
SOLAR PANEL FIXING PROVISION
 Solar panel clamps shall be not in LCP scope as it
is in general available with the solar panels
supply / Installation vendors.
 Fall arrest system vendors also have these type of
clamps which can also be used for fixing solar
panels.
 Data sheet and load chart shall be provided by
the concerned vendors.
SOLAR PANEL FIXING PROVISION
 Sample image of clamp available with M/S
Karam.
