2.2 FABRICATION

A. Field Measurements: Prior to fabrication, verify dimensions and conditions at the job site
so that purpose made metal joinery work will accurately fit to adjacent work.

B. Forming: Form work to true shapes, without distortion, with accurate surfaces and edges.
Unless otherwise shown, form metal corners by bending to smallest radius possible
without impairing the work. Produce flat, flush surfaces without cracking or grain
separation at bends. Machine cut or saw material for butt jointed or square corners. Form
simple and compound curves by bending members in jigs to produce uniform curvature
for each repetitive configuration required; maintain profile of member throughout entire
bend without buckling, twisting, or otherwise deforming exposed surfaces of the
components.

C. Assembly: Carefully fit and assemble all work with continuity of line and design, using
rigidly secured joints with hairline contact, unless otherwise shown. Form butt hairline
joints with roll-over edge exposed. Grind off roll-over edge flush with and matching of
adjacent metal. Shop assemble all work. Disassemble units too large for shipment and
provide them with alignment and splice plates for accurate field fit. Build in straps, plates,
and brackets as needed to support and anchor fabricated items to adjoining construction.
Reinforce units as needed to attach and support other construction.

D. Fabrication Tolerances: Fabrication tolerances shall generally comply with BS 5950 Part
2, and special tolerances shall be determined as required in order to produce proper fit
and coordination with other trades. The special tolerances pertaining to length,
squareness, preassembled units, milling, camber and any other items shall be submitted
for Contractor’s review.

E. Engineer, fabricate and install exterior components to provide for expansion and
contraction over an ambient temperature range of 50°C and a surface temperature range
of 78°C without buckling, undue stress on members or anchors, and other detrimental
effects. Fabricate joints that will be exposed to weather in a manner to exclude water, or
provide weep holes where water may accumulate.

F. Form exposed work true to line and level with accurate angles and surfaces and straight
sharp edges. Ease exposed edges to a radius of approximately 0.8mm, unless otherwise
shown. Form bent metal corners to smallest radius possible without causing grain
separation or otherwise impairing work.

G. Form exposed connections with hairline joints, flush and smooth; using concealed
fasteners where possible. Exposed threaded portion of bolts and screws shall be cut off
flush with adjacent metal. Cut, drill, punch and tap as required for the installation and
attachment of other work to metal fabrications work. Shear and punch metals cleanly and
accurately. Remove all burrs. Remove sharp or rough areas on exposed traffic surfaces.

H. Form metal work built in with concrete or masonry for anchorage, or provide suitable
anchors, expansion shields, or other anchoring devices shown or other anchoring devices
shown or required to provide support for intended use. Furnish such metal work in ample
time for setting and securing in place.

I. Ferrous Metal Welding: BS EN 1011, BS EN 287: Part 1, BS 288: Part 3, and BS 4872:
Part 1. Make joints as strong and rigid as adjoining sections. Make welds continuous
along entire line of contact, except where spot welding is indicated. Grind exposed welds
flush and smooth to match and blend with adjoining surfaces. Welded connections may

Larsen & Toubro Limited
be used where bolted connections are shown. Fabricate joints exposed to weather in a
manner to exclude water, or provide weep holes where water may accumulate.

J. Welding of Stainless Steel: TIG welding to BS EN 1011, Part 3, or other methods subject
to approval. Use double bevel butt welds, backing bars to remove heat, jigging, tack
welds and any other measures necessary to minimise distortion. Remove slight distortion
by light hammering, taking care not to damage surface finish.

K. Make up threaded connections tight so that threads are entirely concealed. Shoulder and
head, dowel and pin abutting bars. Provide bolt and screw heads flat and countersunk in
exposed work. Carefully machine, fit and secure removable members by means of Allen-
head set screws of proper size and spacing.

L. Galvanize all ferrous metal utilized on the exterior and all items embedded in concrete
whether interior or exterior, unless otherwise specified. Galvanize all other items where
specified or shown. Remove mill scale and rust, clean and pickle the units as required for
proper pretreatment of the surfaces. Provide hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with
requirements of BS EN 1461.

M. Preassemble items in shop to greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and
assembly. Following trial fit, disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and
handling. Clearly mark units for reassembly. Provide alignment and splice plates for
accurate field fit.

N. Prior to shipment protect finishes on exposed surfaces from damage by application of

strippable temporary protective covering or other means.
