Installation Methods for Ground Steel Structures


Steel structures use steel as the primary construction material, and ground steel structures are a type of steel structure. A ground steel structure consists of beams, columns, platform columns, and guardrails. During construction, columns should be installed first, followed by beams, platforms, and finally guardrails. Regardless of the equipment involved, the first step in installing ground steel structures is layout marking. Below are the installation methods for ground steel structures:
Steel Column Installation
Steel columns can be adjustable or non-adjustable, with different designs suited for various applications.Steel Beam Installation
Beams are supported by the top of columns for ease of installation. Beam-to-column connections typically use welding or clamp plate fixation, offering advantages such as detachability and high stability.Steel Longitudinal Beam Installation
Insertion beams can be installed via direct welding or bolt connections. Installation proceeds continuously from one side of the steel platform to the other.Steel Platform Installation
Steel platforms come in modular and integrated types. Modular platforms are installed atop the steel structure or aligned with the beams after beams and longitudinal beams are in place. Integrated platforms are directly connected to the beams as a single unit.Steel Stair and Guardrail Installation
Stairs include inclined (heavier) and straight (lighter) types. For installation, a chain hoist can be hung above the platform to lift the stairs vertically. Align the stairs with the platform, secure the upper part by welding to the platform beam, and fix the lower part with expansion bolts.
The above outlines the installation methods for ground steel structures. Ensuring construction quality is paramount to avoid issues in later stages.
