Two copies of all detailed working drawings, fabrication drawings and calculations prepared by or on behalf of the
CONTRACTOR shall be submitted to the CONSULTANT for approval. The drawings shall include full details of and
dimensions of all the various joints, connections and welds required to complete the work. Joints extra to those shown will not
be allowed without permission. The shop drawings are to indicate clearly the types, dimensions, lengths and welding
procedure of all welds.

All joints shall be designed to resist the moments and forces specified on the contract drawings and where insufficient
information is provided reference shall be made to the CONSULTANT for clarification. The arrangement of the fixings at joints
shall be designed to take into account the distribution of stress and any eccentricities arising from the disposition of welds or
bolts groups relative to the axis of the member.

The erection drawings, which shall be submitted for approval of the CONSULTANT, shall indicate the identifications marks to
be pointed on the steel work and shall include and complete list of bolts showing the sizes, types and locations where they are
to be used.

The containers in which the bolts are delivered to site shall be marked to correspond with the bolt lists.

The CONSULTANT shall have access at all reasonable times to all places where the work is being carried out and shall be
provided by the CONTRACTOR with all the necessary facilities for inspection during construction.

members shall be free from Urdu twists, bends warping distortion and other irregularities. Holes shall not be made nor
enlarged by burning. Material shall be properly marked and match-as shown on the drawing.

Templates for the work shall be steel-bushed were considered necessary by the CONSULTANT. Where actual materials from
the work are used as templates for drilling similar, pieces, the CONSULTANT will decide whether they are fit for use as part of
the finished structure.

- 38 -
Care shall be taken to ensure that the specified clearances are adhered to. The erection clearance for dieted ends of
members shall not be greater than 2mm at each end. The erection clearance at the ends of beams without web cleats shall
not be more than 3 mm at each end, but where for practical reasons this clearance has to be increased, the seating shall be
suitably designed.

Where black bolts are used the holes may be made not more than 2mm greater than the diameter of the bolts up to 24mm
diameter and not more than 3 mm greater than the diameter of the bolts over 24mm diameter.

Structural sections cut to ‘exact’ lengths are to be accurately cold sawn or machined. Hot sawing or machine gas cutting will
be permitted for the ends of beams and other parts not bearing compression. Hand cutting in lieu of machine gas cutting
where the latter is impracticable, may be used for the wall ends of beams, but is to be otherwise employed without the
CONSULTANT approval.

The cutting of slabs, notches in joints and perforations in plates etc. by gas cutting machines, will be permitted provided the
edges are ground smooth, burrs removed and radi smoothly formed.

Where the CONTRACTOR requires making close butted joints they shall be indicated on the drawings and the abutting end of
the parts shall be machined to ensure close contact when the joint is made. Close contact shall be deemed to have been
achieved when 90 percent of the area is in close contact and the remaining 10% has clearance not exceeding 0.2mm.

Light structural sections, such as angles etc. may be cut by copping provided the ends are dressed to a smooth finish, true to
shape and free from burns and lags.

Where plates or flats are used as part of a built-up section with their edges exposed, such edges shall be true or planed true.

Drilling of bolt holes shall be in accordance with BS 5950 Part 1, table No. 35. Generally, all the allowable tolerances shall be
as per the relevant codes and standards.

The CONTRACTOR shall make provision for the drilling of holes for building onto existing steel work on site. The size of
holes will be as given on the drawings and will be formed by portable power tools which shall comply to the specified safety
requirement.

Due to the nature of the work position of anchor bolts will vary according to the actual position of existing steel columns onto
which permanent support brackets will be bolted. Therefore, the CONTRACTOR must check the as built position of anchor
bolts before drilling anchor bolt holes in base plates.

Holes through more than one thickness or material in Built up sections shall, where possible, be drilled after the members as
assembled and tightly clamped or bolted together. Punching may be permitted before assembly, providing the holes are
punched 2 mm less than the required diameter and reamed after assembly to the fill diameter. The thickness of materials to
be purchased shall not exceed 15mm.

Holes in members built up welding that be drilled after welding has been completed.

Holes which are drilled through two or more separable parts shall have burn removed after separating the parts.

No holes shall be punched full size without the Consultant’s approval.

Matching holes for rivets and black bolts shall register with each other so that a gauge 2mm less in diameter than the hole will
pass freely through the assembled members at right angles to such members.
Holes for close tolerance and barrel bolts shall be drilled to diameter equal to the nominal diameter of the shank or barrel
subject to a tolerance of + 0.15 mm and
- 39 -
- 0mm.

Parts to be connected with close tolerance or barrel bolts shall be firmly held together by tracking bolts or clamps and the
holes drilled through all the thickness in one operation and subsequently reamed to size.

All holes drilled though all the thickness in one operation shall be drilled to smaller size and reamed out after assembly.
Where this is not practicable the parts shall be drilled and reamed separately through hard bushed steel jigs.

Holes for countersunk bolts shall conform to the precise requirements of the countersunk bolt heads and the countersunk shall
be concentric with the shank holes.

Holes in supporting steelwork for floor plates shall be drilled 3 mm over size.

Bolt heads shall be dressed flush where necessary.

Holes for rivals and bolts shall not be formed by gas cutting.

Stanchion splices and but joints of compression members dependent on contact or the transmission of compressive stresses,
shall be accurately prepared to build, by matching, so that the permitted stress in bearing is not exceeded nor eccentricity of
loading created which would induce secondary bending in the members.

Slab bases and slab caps, except where cut from material with true surfaces, shall be accurately machined over the bearing
surface and shall be in effective contract with the end of the stanchion. A bearing face which is to be grouted direct to a
foundation need not be machined if such face is true and parallel to the upper face.

To facilitate grouting, check holes shall be provided where necessary in stanchion bases for the escape of air.

Component parts shall be assembled in such a manner that they are neither twisted nor otherwise damaged and shall be
prepared so that the specified cambers if any are provided. Where camber to trusses is not indicated due allowance for a
suitable camber should be made in setting out.

All tubular members shall be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture to the inside of the members.

All bolts shall be provided with washers under the nuts and heads of bolts and washers shall be tapered or otherwise suitably
shaped to give nuts and heads of bolts a satisfactory bearing.

The threaded portion of each bolt shall project not less than 2 full threads through the nut after lightening.

After erection the ends of the bolts shall be burred to prevent removal of nuts.

In all cases where the full bearing area of the bolt is to be developed, the bolt shall be provided with a washer of sufficient
thickness under the nut to avoid any threaded portion of the bolt being within the thickness of the parts bolted together.

Where a tubular member is chilled to take bolts or studs, provision shall be made to prevent the access of moisture to the
interior of the tube. For example, a transverse sleeve has to be inserted where a bolt passes through a tube, or grommets
have to be used under heads and nuts.
Stiffening angles, or plates to brackets, flanges of joists etc are to be accurately ground to fit the profile of the member
stiffened.
Burning in welding, filling or plugging up of defective work will not be permitted without sanction of the CONSULTANT in
writing.

other marks as will facilitate erection. All markings shall be a minimum of 50 mm high in a contrasting color.

Slotted holes for movement connections shall be provided with shouldered bolts, spring washers and flat washers. The
diameter of the hole in unslotted member shall be less than the width of the slot and the shoulder of the bolt shall bear against
the facing surface of the unslotted member enabling the bolt to be tightened on this member. The spring washers shall be
located under the heads of the bolts.

Camber and Deflection

1) When members are to be cambered the amount will be specified on the drawings and the means of achieving the
correct amount of camber shall be agreed with the engineer and shown on the shop drawing.

2) When portal frames are to be fabricated with an allowance to compensate for the outward spread under dead loads,
this will be shown on drawings.

In general site welding is not allowed. However, for exceptional cases if it is unavoidable, prior approval is required from the
Engineer and it should be highlighted in the shop drawings.
