Steel Column Installation Process
1. Lifting of Steel Columns
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.
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
Verticality Adjustment:
Pre-mark centerlines on visible column faces. Adjust verticality using theodolites in two perpendicular directions.
Control Line Verification:
Measure the distance between the column’s inner side and pre-marked building control lines to ensure verticality.
Integrated Adjustment:
Coordinate adjustments for elevation, axis alignment, and verticality until all standards are met.
Steel Beam Installation Process
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).
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.
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.
