1. SCOPE OF THE PRESENT DOCUMENT
This specification covers hot dip galvanizing applied to general steel articles after
fabrication. This specification does not apply to pre-galvanized goods. Such as
galvanized wires, tubes or sheet and galvanizing through electro plating. All hot dip
galvanizing work must be performed in accordance to BS 729: 1971.

2. APPLICABILITY
This procedure is applicable to the construction of the concrete chimney of the
power station of Manjung 4, 1 x 1000 MW Power Plant Project, Malaysia.

4. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Project Engineer has the responsibility to obtain approval of the present
procedure prior to commence the concrete work.
The Site Manager, in charge for the windshield construction, has the
responsibility for the application of this procedure.

3
The Quality Control Manager has the responsibility for the planned inspections
and for the preparation of relevant documentation.

5. DEFINITIONS
In the document, the following words are used:
 stack: term used for the chimney subject of this procedure;
 windshield: outer shell of the stack, made of reinforced concrete
(concrete and rebar);
 slipform: technical device made of a sliding formwork, jack-bars and
jacks designed for a continuous erection of the concrete windshield;
 liner: inner part of the stack, which will be implemented after the
construction of the windshields and their accessories;
 FIC: acronym of FERBECK INDUSTRIAL CHIMNEYS;
 Owner: final client.

6. STANDARD
The following standards will be applied to this work :
 BS 729: 1971

7. PREPARATION
 All fabricated steel members for hot dip, galvanizing must be designed
and fabricated in a manner to prevent distortion. Combination of thick
and thin metal should be avoided. Columns & beams must be welded
with strengthening gussets and webs
 Welded areas must be free of welding slag and spatters to avoid
uncoated spot.
 All steel members must preferably be fabricated to allow single dip
within the dimension of 12:-5meiers{length}x 1.8 meters (width)x 2;.:6
meters (depth):
 Steel items must be freed of paint, lacquer and heavy oil prior to
delivery to the galvanizer
 For hollow sections and vessels, ventilation and drainage holes must
be provided to prevent air pockets and blockage of zinc flow .
 Items must be properly packed and tagged for identification and easy
handling.

8. HOT DEEP GALVANIZING


 All articles shall be handled in such a manner as to avoid any mechanical
damage, loss and to minimize distortion.
 Design or fabrication features that may lead to difficulties during galvanizing
must be pointed prior to dipping.
 Galvanizing parameters such .as galvanizing temperature, time of immersion
and withdrawal speed shall be employed to suit the requirements of the
articles.

4
 The composition of zinc in the galvanizing bath shall not be Jess than 98.5 %
zinc. Laboratory test reports on the zinc composition must be available for
inspection purpose.

9. COATING REQUIREMENT
 The thickness of the galvanized coating shall confront to Table 1 in BS
729'1971.
 Upon request, the thickness of the galvanized coating shall be checked by the
galvanizer's using a SIRIM approved magnetic measuring device before the
galvanized goods are released. In the event of any dispute, stripping test shall
be carried out in accordance with BS 729: 1971 Appendix A.
 For centrifuged items, galvanized nuts must be re-tapped oversize after
galvanizing to fit.

10. FINISHING
 The galvanized coating shall be continuous, adherent, as smooth and evenly
distributed as possible and free from any defect that is detrimental to the
performance of the coated article. On silicon-killed steels, the coating may be
dull grey, provided the coating is sound and continuous.
 The integrity of the coating shall be determined by visual inspection and
coating thickness measurements
 Where slip factors are required to enable high strength friction grip bolting
these shall be obtained after galvanizing by suitable mechanical treatment of
the faying surface.
