2.0 GENERAL STEEL BUILDING PRE-ERECTION
2.1 ACCESS TO SITE
The vehicle transporting your building parts must gain access to the Steel building site from the adjacent highway or road. Such access should be studied and prepared in advance of arrival. All obstructions, overhead and otherwise, must be removed and the access route graveled or planked if the soil will not sustain the heavy wheel loads.
Inspect to insure that there is enough room to physically perform the tasks required to erect the building. Application of sheeting and trim can be expensive when there is not sufficient working space because of the proximity of adjacent buildings or other obstructions.
The availability of any required utilities should also be considered in advance. Take careful note of any overhead electric lines or other utilities to avoid hazards and damage (Notify your utility company when necessary)
Develop a comprehensive safety awareness program in advance to familiarize the work force with the unique conditions of the site, and the building materials, along with the appropriate “Safe Work’ practices that will be utilized.
Note: Complete sets of General steel erection drawings are furnished with every building. Each plan is specially prepared for each individual building.
