Introduction
Steel structure installation is an integral part of the construction of blast furnace workshops. It sets the foundations for other processes such as electrical installation and paint/coating application.
Steel structure installation is an important process, and must be undertaken with the utmost care and precision. The workshop staff must be well-informed of the relevant safety procedures and must follow them at all times.
Preparation
To begin the steel structure installation, the first step is to lay the ground to make sure it’s suitable for installation. All irregularities need to be straightened out and the slope should be exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Once this is done, the steel structure needs to be transported from the storage area to the installation area. All the materials should be checked and inspected for any signs of damage.
Installation
Once the steel structure has been delivered, the next step is to begin assembly. The beams should be connected at their respective joints and the frame should be fastened using heavy duty bolts and nuts. Special care should be taken around weak areas such as the base of the frame.
Checking
Once the main structure has been installed, a thorough check should be carried out to make sure that it is secure and stable. Any loose parts should be tightened and extra support should be provided, if necessary.
Once all the checks have been performed, the structure should be ready for painting or coating. To make sure the surface is ready for painting, it should be inspected and then the appropriate surface preparation should be done.
Conclusion
Steel structure installation is a crucial process in the construction of blast furnace workshops. It’s essential that all measurements, specifications and safety procedures are correctly followed.
Furthermore, it’s important that the structure is properly checked and inspected prior to any further construction process. This will ensure that the steel structure installation is done correctly and that it can withstand the weight of future activities.
