Steel Structure

  1. Material Preparation and Cutting

    • Mark and number materials according to the construction drawings, allowing for weld shrinkage and machining allowances. Create templates based on the marking.

    • Steel Straightening: Straighten steel materials before cutting. Deviations after straightening must not exceed the allowable tolerances specified in the codes to ensure cutting quality.

    • Process hot-rolled sections while hot and mark holes after cooling.

    • Cut, drill, and apply anti-corrosion paint to steel plate embedded parts and other components.

  2. Surveying and Setting Out

    • Use the civil engineering elevation benchmark to survey the elevation centerline of embedded parts. Check for elevation deviations and left/right displacements of embedded parts.

    • Analyze the results and determine the adjustment plan for the embedded part layout.

    • Mark the top elevation line of embedded parts with an ink line along the outer edge of the floor slab.

  3. Embedded Part Installation and Treatment

    • Position the embedded parts, drill holes, and install them.

    • Requirements: Embedded parts must be accurately positioned and securely fixed. Elevation tolerance ≤ 9mm; Displacement tolerance ≤ 20mm.

  4. Cantilever Arm Installation and Welding

    • Install cantilever arms by welding. Inspect weld joints and adjust the cantilever arms to the design slope before welding commences.

    • After accurately installing the first cantilever arm, install the opposite one. Tack weld it once accurately positioned.

    • Using these two arms as a baseline, establish the highest and lowest elevation lines for the remaining cantilever arms. Weld all remaining cantilever arms and weld the seamless steel tubes.

    • When splicing sections, weld the joint first and then straighten it.

    • For section-to-embedded plate connections, chamfer the edges as per design requirements to ensure tight contact between the section and the embedded plate.

    • Use run-on/run-off tabs at both ends of butt welds; the tabs should match the base material and groove type. Remove tabs by gas cutting after welding and grind smooth.

  5. Calibration and Inspection

    • Verticality deviation of the cantilever arm surface.

    • Lateral sag of the compression side of the cantilever arm vertical plane.

    • Slope of the cantilever arm.

    • After installation, first inspect the quality of on-site connections for the cantilever arms.

    • Key inspection items for cantilever arm installation quality:

    • Ensure the cantilever arms meet the design load requirements and overall stability criteria.

  6. Connection of Load-Bearing Cables

    • Set out baseline and elevation lines for tension rods. Install embedded parts as required and weld the railings.

  7. Stainless Steel Glass Clamp Installation and Welding

    • Mark out gridlines and design elevations according to dimensions. Use clamps to hold components tightly in place for tack welding.

    • After assembly, weld the glass clamp bases.

  8. Anti-Corrosion Painting Treatment

    • Remove all welding slag and spatter.

    • Apply multiple coats of anti-corrosion paint (white paint for stainless steel components) to the surface. The type of paint and dry film thickness must comply with design requirements or construction codes.

    • Ensure no missed areas, especially on the inner surfaces of structural sections.

  9. Fabrication and Installation of Laminated Glass

    • Determine glass dimensions and their horizontal/vertical positions based on design requirements and actual field measurements. Fabricate by the manufacturer.

    • Install stainless steel glass clamps. Temporarily fix the glass, then adjust it to achieve level, plumb, and flat surfaces. Deviations shall not exceed specified tolerances.

  10. Adjustment and Inspection

    • Conduct overall adjustment and inspection of the point-supported glass system. Adjustment standard: level, plumb, and flat surfaces. Deviations shall not exceed specified tolerances.

  11. Applying Sealant (Top and Bottom)

    • Thoroughly clean the gaps between glass panels, removing any water, oil, paint, rust, cement mortar, dust, etc.

    • Thoroughly clean and dry the bonding surfaces.

    • Use backing rods to control joint depth and prevent three-sided bonding.

    • Apply protective tape on both sides of the joint to prevent glass contamination.

    • Apply sealant simultaneously to the top and bottom joints. Smooth the sealant surface after application and remove excess material.

    • Remove protective tape after sealing. Clean glass with solvent if necessary.

    • Protect uncured sealant from dust and damage.

  12. Repair and Final Inspection

    • Perform local repairs and conduct final inspection.

  13. Glass Cleaning

    • After confirming all aspects are satisfactory, thoroughly clean dust and grime from the glass. Use solvent if necessary. Await final inspection and handover.
