Steel Column Installation Process

1. Lifting of Steel Columns

  1. Foundation Inspection:

    • Recheck the foundation, including exposed anchor bolt lengths, deviations of anchor bolt centerlines from reference lines, anchor spacing, and foundation elevation. Address any non-conformities before lifting.

  2. Column Preparation:

    • Mark a 500mm reference line on the visible cross-section of the column for fine adjustment of elevation during installation.

    • Use a single steel wire rope to secure the column, with lifting points positioned at 1/3 of the column length from each end.

    • Lift the column using the rotation method and position it for installation. Cushioning pads must be placed at binding points.

2. Column Alignment and Adjustment

  1. Verticality Adjustment:

    • Pre-mark centerlines on visible column faces. Adjust verticality using theodolites in two perpendicular directions.

  2. Control Line Verification:

    • Measure the distance between the column’s inner side and pre-marked building control lines to ensure verticality.

  3. Integrated Adjustment:

    • Coordinate adjustments for elevation, axis alignment, and verticality until all standards are met.

Steel Beam Installation Process

  1. Beam Delivery and Placement:

    • Transport steel beams near columns using trucks. Lift beams to the floor level with a mobile crane, then install them using a derrick crane.

    • For heavy main beams, use a combined lifting approach (mobile crane + derrick crane).

    • Install secondary beams with a custom-built tire-mounted crane (5-ton capacity).

  2. Installation Sequence:

    • Start from Zone 3, following the order: Main Beams → Secondary Beams → Purlins.

    • Install beams one by one using the derrick crane. Secure bolts or tack welding at both ends before releasing the hook. Proceed to the next beam.

    • Conduct welding after passing inspections.

  3. Lifting Points and Safety:

    • For long beams (e.g., 20m beams), use a steel spreader beam and triangular lifting lugs to widen wire rope spacing, ensuring optimal lifting angles.

    • Refer to the steel beam lifting diagram for binding details.


Key Notes

  • Precision: Ensure all bolts and welds meet design specifications.

  • Safety: Use certified lifting equipment and follow load capacity guidelines.

  • Quality Control: Verify verticality, elevation, and alignment at each stage.

This plan ensures efficient and safe installation of steel structures while maintaining structural integrity.
