The installation of metallurgical factory process steel structure
Metallurgical factories require reliable and efficient structures with strong framework and reliable stability. Steel structures are the ideal solution to meet these requirements due to the considerable resistance to deformation and stresses. Installation of steel structure requires great care in both the planning process and execution, as the slightest mistake can incur great losses and endanger personnel safety.
Generally, the preparation process necessary for the execution of any steel structure begins by understanding the project in its entirety, from initial design through to the selection of heavy or light steel systems or its combination. In a large-scale project for the construction of a steel structure, the scale drawing must be firstly determined, including the actual scale and size of the premises and related placing areas; components must then be chosen from the drawing based on certain requirements. In order to ensure the quality standards and durability of the steel structure, the selection of components must be done according to the Chinese national requirements.
After the components have been selected, on-site work performance takes place. During this phase, the components are installed step by step in the implemented structure, and the construction process must strictly adhere to the design drawings prepared by professional engineers. The installation process of the steel structure includes several important steps.
① Assembling the steel structure before installation.
The assembly of steel structure is a critical step, as it lays down the foundation of the entire system. It is essential to pay attention to the quality and accuracy of the assembly and to strictly conform to the structural requirements. The installer should check the components such as joints and fasteners, and ensure that the bolts are securely locked.
② Placing the components.
When the steel components arrive, questions such as the column location, beam placement, numbering and orientation should be determined first. The components must then be placed and installed into their respective positions, with the correct orientation and alignment. There must also be some allowance for angle requirement or size-dilation.
③ Securing Components.
After the components have been placed in their respective positions and aligned, it is then time to secure them with the proper fastening materials, such as nuts and bolts. In most cases, the bolts should be matched in sets of three, while the nuts must be placed on the top of the beam’s flange.
④ Welding.
Although much of the steel structure is connected using bolts, welding is also necessary to ensure a secure connection. The weld should be smooth and polished without any sharp edges, as this will guarantee a safe, strong bond between the components.
The installation of a steel structure for a metallurgical factory requires the expertise of certified professionals who are familiar with the craft of structure installation. Safety must always be prioritized when it comes to construction, and structural integrity must be ensured at all costs. By following the four steps listed above and adhering to quality regulations and standards, the installation of a stable and reliable steel structure for any metallurgical factory will be a smooth and simple process.
