STEEL BUILDINGS MATERIAL LAYOUT
After the metal building material is unloaded, it should be
placed in and around the steel building site near the place where it
will be used. This is referred to as "Shaking Out" While each job
will vary according to the size or site conditions; the layout below
typifies an arrangement which offers conveniences for assembly.
Columns and roof beams are laid in position for raising. Girts,
Purlins, Columns and Braces are divided according to the
requirements of each bay. Each part is marked for quick
identification.
Carefully check these marks against shipping lists to insure that
the correct parts and quantities have been received.
The layout of metal buildings materials illustrated below is
provided as an aid to identify and locate steel building parts. Once
their erection procedure has begun, however, erection crews and
machinery must have access to that portion of the steel building
which is under construction.
CAUTION WATER SENSITIVE MATERIALS
(Bare or Coated Galvanized, Galvalume, Aluminized, Aluminum,
etc.) These panels or boxes must be stored in a dry, warm
atmosphere. If this metal building material is allowed to get wet or
moisture is permitted to form (condensation) between the materials,
serious deterioration of the finish will occur.
FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION: If these materials get wet, separate
and dry all metal building materials immediately.
