2.4 LOCATION OF STEEL BUILDING PARTS

• Steel building Columns and rafters are usually unloaded near their respective installed positions on blocking on the slab in position for easy makeup.
• Endwalls are usually laid out at each end of slab with the columns near respective anchor bolts.

NOTE!

An access area through the center of the steel building should be left for erection equipment.

• Hardware packages should be located centrally, usually along one sidewall near the center of the building. This will minimize walking distances to other parts of the slab area.
• Purlins and girts, depending on the number of bundles, are usually stored near the sidewalls clear of other packages or parts.
• Sheet packages are usually located along one or both sidewalls off the ground and sloping to one end to encourage drainage in case of rain.
• Accessories are usually unloaded on a corner of the slab or off the slab near one end of t steel building to keep them as much out of the way as possible from the active area during steel erection.

NOTE:

Steps must be taken to protect the entire job site from vandalism and pilferage
