SPECIFICATION AND STANDARD FOR STRUCTURAL STEELWORK: GENERAL PART 2- Programme

1.5            PROGRAMME

1.5.1         Detailed Programme
1.5.1.1      The contractor shall provide a detailed programme to show the planned timing of the various items of work to be done, including:

(a)       Alternative / Connection design calculation submission and approval

(b)       Preparation and submission of construction information

(c)       Order and delivery of materials

(d)       Fabrication / Manufacture

(e)       Application of Protective Coatings

(f)        Transport to Site

(g)       Assembly and Erection

1.5.2         Inspection and Testing

1.5.2.1      The Contractor shall provide a detailed programme and include in the programme the necessary time for all procedural trials, inspection and testing, and trial assemblies,  if  required. The Contractor  shall also  make  allowance  for  the time required by the ITA to carry out cross-checking of the Contractors testing.

1.5.3         Progress

1.5.3.1      The Contractor shall present the programme in a manner that the actual progress can be monitored against each item.

1.6            QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY CONTROL

1.6.1      The Fabricator shall provide and document all inspection, testing and quality control for structural steelwork throughout the fabrication and erection of the works.

1.6.2      Materials and workmanship shall be submitted for inspection and testing in mill, shop and/or field by SCI and/or Testing Agency.   Such inspection and testing does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to provide his own inspection, testing and quality control as necessary to furnish materials and workmanship in accordance with requirements of the Agreement.

1.6.3      The fabricator shall maintain the inspection and quality control of his shop and field work. Quality control and inspection of welding work shall consist of meticulous supervision by the Contractor's welding inspector using non-destructive spot testing at not less than but not limited to the following rates and depending upon performance, the percentage of inspection shall be increased.

1.6.4      The Testing Agency shall carry out the following tests on the welds as directed by SCI
in accordance with the British Standards indicated:

a) Radiographic test to BS EN 1435 as appropriate. b) Ultrasonic test to BS EN 1714.
c)  Magnetic-particle test to BS EN ISO 9934-1. d) Dye-Penetration test to BS EN 571-1.

Weld Type
Test
Full     penetration     butt welds
50% radiographic (RT) or ultrasonic testing (UT) and   50%   magnetic   particl (MT o dye penetrant testing (PT). (for site welds the above will be 100%)
Partial   penetration   butt welds
Minimum   25%   ultrasoni (UT)   and   25% magnetic particle (MT) or dye penetrant testing (PT). (for site welds the above will be 50%)
Fillet welds
Minimum 20% magnetic particle (MT) or dye penetrant testing (PT). (for site welds the above will be 50%)

1.6.5      Non-destructive testing shall be done by radiographic, magnetic particle or ultrasonic method, whichever is the most effective for the joint to be tested.  Testing of welds shall be carried out by qualified personnel.   All the results of such tests shall be submitted to SCI.

1.6.6      The fabricator shall notify SCI and the Testing Agency prior to the commencement of any fabrication, erection, or other phases of work so as to allow them reasonable opportunity to inspect the work.

1.6.7      The fabricator shall facilitate inspection and testing by SCI and shall, at his own expense, furnish the following, upon request:

a)        Complete   sets   o approved   Shop   Drawings   and   corrective   work procedures at fabricating shop(s) and in the field.

b)         Cutting lists, order lists, material bills, and shipping lists.

c)         Information as to time and place of all rollings and shipments of material to shops and field.

d)         Representative sample pieces requested for testing as selected by SCI.

e)         Full and ample means and assistance for testing materials, and proper facilities for inspection of work, in mill, shop and field including access ladders, scaffolding, lighting and protective gear.

1.6.8      Welding acceptability criteria shall be based on AWS D1.1-1988 and all NDT results on this project shall be assessed on this basis.
1.6.9      The fact that steelwork has been accepted at the shop shall not prevent its final rejection at the job site, or even after it has been erected if it is found to be defective in any way.

1.6.10    The fabricator shall provide all necessary arrangement for SCI and his representatives to inspect the production in the factory, place of assembly and erection on site.  Any work or material found to be of sub-standard shall be rejected and removed from site. These defective work or materials shall be replaced with corrective work/ materials to the satisfaction of SCI

1.6.11    In addition to conforming to the requirements of the British Standards and Codes of Practice listed in this specification, all bolting in workshop shall be in accordance with the following requirements.

General

a)      Connections to be bolted shall be secured in close contact by service bolts or a sufficient number of permanent bolts before the connections are finally bolted.
b)      Hardened tapered washers shall be provided at taper flanges to compensate for the lack of parallelism.
c)       A minimum of one washer to be supplied per bolt, positioned under the nut.
d)     Taper washers shall have a minimum thickness of 3mm at the thin end.

Black and Precision Bolts

a)     Bolts shall show not less than three clear threads through the nuts, and the threaded portion shall not bear upon the thickness of connected plies in a tightened condition.


b)     Drilled holes shall be accurately positioned to template and burrs shall be removed from edges of holes before parts are assembled.  Punching of holes shall be restricted to the limitations as highlighted in this specification.  Drift pins will be allowed only for bringing together the several parts of the structure and shall not be used in such a way as to distort the work or enlarge the holes.
