Steel Structure Rodmap
Planning and Design Phase
- Determine the structural requirements and constraints.
- Conduct site surveys and geotechnical investigations.
- Develop preliminary designs and conceptual sketches.
- Analyze the structural loads and stresses using software like SAP2000, ETABS, or STAAD.Pro.
- Finalize the structural design considering material selection, connections, and fabrication methods.
Permitting and Approvals
- Obtain necessary permits and approvals from local authorities.
- Ensure compliance with building codes and regulations.
Procurement Phase
- Source steel materials from suppliers.
- Ensure quality control and compliance with specifications.
- Procure necessary equipment and tools for construction.
Construction Phase
- Site preparation including excavation, grading, and foundation construction.
- Fabricate steel components off-site or on-site.
- Erect steel framework using cranes and other lifting equipment.
- Install structural components such as beams, columns, and braces.
- Weld or bolt connections according to design specifications.
- Conduct inspections and quality assurance checks during construction.
- Implement safety measures for workers and site personnel.
Finishing Phase
- Apply protective coatings to prevent corrosion.
- Install fireproofing materials if required.
- Complete any necessary adjustments or modifications.
- Conduct final inspections and obtain certificates of occupancy.
