    During erection, the work shall at all times be securely bolted, guyed orbraced. The Contractor shall ensure the stability of the structure at allstages or erection and shall supply the necessary temporary bracing.

    At the request of the Engineer the Contractor shall submit certifiedengineering computations for stability of the structure.

    Prior to erection of steelwork, concrete surfaces shall be prepared andlevelling plates or shims set in place. All shims and plates shall begalvanised.

    All erection bolts used in welded construction may be tightenedsecurely and left in place or removed and the holes filled with weldmetal and ground flush. Permanent welding shall not be undertakenuntil correct alignment, plumbing and levelling has been completed andapproved by the Engineer.

    Drift punching to match misaligned holes will not be permitted.Misaligned holes shall be drilled and reamed to a larger size and largebolts fitted or corrected by other means to the agreement of theEngineer.

    All bolting carried out by the Contractor shall comply with the followingrequirements:

    a. Bolts shall be assembled with washers under the part to beturned and shall conform to the requirements of AS 4100.

    b. High strength bolts shall be tightened in accordance withAS 4100.

    c. Load indicating and other types of bolts designed forspecial tightening procedures shall only be installed whereshown on the drawings or with the agreement of theEngineer.

    17.0 GROUTING

    17.1 General

    Grouting for base plates shall be of two (2) types, flowable non-shrinkand dry pack mortar and shall be indicated on the design drawing.

    17.2 Flowable Non-Shrink Grout

    Epirez 5137 Epoxy grout or equivalent approved flowable non-shrinkgrout shall be mixed and placed in accordance with the manufacturersinstructions in the locations shown on the drawings.

    17.3 Non-Shrink Grout (Structural)

    The acceptable grout shall be an approved proprietary brand. Groutshall as dry as practicable for the purpose.

    The grout shall be rammed under the full area of the baseplate, eitherby ramming from the opposite sides simultaneously or rammingagainst a fixed form. The edges of the grout shall be neatly tapered at45 from the baseplate edge to the concrete foundation.

    SITE MODIFICATION OF STRUCTURAL STEELWORK

    17.1 General

    No modification that is liable to effect the strength of a structuralmember, the efficiency of a joint, or the integrity of a structure shall bemade without the prior approval of the Engineer. Such field fabricationand sub-assembly as may be necessary shall conform with therequirements of the specifications.

    17.2 Modifications and Corrections

    Procedures and method shall be submitted to and approved by theEngineer.

    17.2.1 Cutting

    Site cutting shall be wherever possible by a mechanicalprocess. Where flame cutting is necessary, an allowance shallbe left for grinding of ragged edges to ensure a smooth finish.

    17.2.2 Holding

    Holes for bolts shall be drilled. Burning of such holes will not bepermitted. Correction of misaligned holes may be achieved byreaming or, subject to the approval of the Engineer, by fillingbadly misaligned holes with weld metal, grinding flush and

    redrilling correctly.

    17.2.3 Repositioning

    Where welded fitments need positioning, the existing weld shallbe removed, where possible, by chipping, grinding or gouging.Where the fitment has been removed, the affected area shallbe ground smooth. Fitments shall be removed using the sameattachment as specified on the approved detail drawings.

    17.2.4 Finishing

    Wherever remedial work has been carried out, the affectedarea shall be cleaned, burrs, slag and weld spatter removedand the paintwork made good in accordance with StandardSpecification TS 4.
