This ERECTION PROCEDURE is intended to provide Kirby Builders and/or

erectors with recommended procedures for erecting Kirby buildings as safely and

efficiently as possible. However, Kirby Building Systems is not liable for, and does

not guarantee the quality of erection, nor does KBS assume any responsibility for

building defects that may be attributed to improper erection techniques, or the

negligence of other parties.

A. All erection work will be treated as outlined in the American Institute of Stee!

Construction Code of Standard Practices for Steel Buildings and Bridges,

Section 7, which deals with the correction of errors in situations where the

material is not being erected by the fabricator and which reads in substance

as follows: The correction of minor misfits by moderate amounts of reaming,

grinding, welding or cutting, and the drawing of elements into line with drift

pins, shall be considered to be normal erection operations. Errors that cannot

be corrected using the foregoing means, or that require major changes

in member or Connection configuration, shall be promptly reported to the

Owner's Designated Representatives for Design and Construction and the

Fabricator by the Erector, to enable the responsible entity to either correctthe error or approve the most efficient and economical method of correction

to be used by others.

B. In cases where the Builder/Erector believes there are errors in shop

fabrication that prevent the proper assembling and fitting of parts by the

use of drift pins, reaming, chipping or cutting, the Builder/Erector shall

immediately report such matters to the local Kirby Sales Office so Kirby may

either correct the error or approve the method and cost of the correction

to be made. The Builder/Erector shall furnish a clear description of the

problem in his report to Kirby and shall also furnish a suggested solution

and the cost thereof. Kirby shall have the option of:

(1) Replacing the defective material with freight allowed to jobsite by

carrier of Kirby's selection.OR

(2) Authorizing field correction of the problem by a method and at a

cost agreed to by Kirby.

Where field correction is authorized. The Builder/Erector shall be allowed credit

for the agreed cost, but in no event shall Kirby be liable for consequential

damages.

INSPECTION BY KIRBY

Kirby shall have the right to inspect from time to time all erection work being

carried on by the Builder or by others. It shall be the responsibility of the Builder/

Erector to finish permits, if required, for entry to the job site for the inspection and

Builder/Erector shall provide equipment (ladders level etc.) for such inspection,

if requested, Builder/Erector will receive a copy of the Inspection Report. In the

event erection errors are detected at the time of the inspection, the Builder/Erector

will be notified of the errors in writing with a suggested method of correction.

In the event the errors are not corrected by the Builder/Erector, the owner will

be notified in writing by Kirby with a copy of the original report included with

the owner notification. A copy of the notification to the owner will be forwarded

to the Builder/Erector. Kirby shall have no liability to the Builder/Erector or to

any customer for defective workmanship in the erection of buildings including

by way of description, but not by way of limitations, defects arising from loose

connections, missing parts, roof leaks, damaged sheets, omission of sealer, of

closure, scratched surfaces, poor alignment, inadequate drainage or defects

arising out of materials furnished and or installed by Builder/Erector or others. The

Builder/Erector agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from any and all claims

which may or might be made against Kirby by any customer or owner arising from

or growing out defects in the erection of any Kirby Building erected by or underthe direction of, or for the account of the builder and or erector.

STORAGE AND PROTECTION OF COVERING :

A. When Aluminium, galvanized, or the galvanized prepainted coating on

piled flat sheets or nested formed sheets or galvanized purlins or girts

become wet from rain, natural condensation, or other causes, white rust

may result. This may occur either in transit or in storage at the job site,

B. Formed prepainted sheets must be protected from moisture in the same

manner as plain galvanized sheets until boldly exposed to the weather.

The sheets must be properly packaged and stored, otherwise, white rust

may develop at minute cracks in the paint and at the cut edges.

C. It is important on receipt of material, to examine packages for damage.

Builders and/or erectors, are encouraged to take prompt action where

cuts, tears, or other damage is evident. If a small amount of moisture is

present, the sheets should be dried before restacking or storage. Damp

sheets should never be restacked until thoroughly dry.

D. Roofing and siding sheets should be erected as soon as possible after

2

their arrival at the jobsite. If temporary storage is absolutely necessary,

they should be stored indoors. Where indoor storage is not possible, the

procedure shown in this MANUAL must be followed to prevent the entry of

moisture into the bundle and consequent storage stain.

It is the responsibility of the owner, Builder or Erector to make an inspection upon

arrival of all products shipped to the Customer, Builder or Erector.

It is the responsibility of the builder or erector to report such claims for shortages

or defective material immediately to the owner, or customer to enable him to file

a claim for the shortage or defective material.

If packaged items are found to contain shortages or defective material, these must

be reported to Kirby, in writing, within 30 days after receipt of the shipment.

All claims must be reported in detail giving part numbers, description and length.

This information may be obtained directly from the Bill of Materials furnished with

the building.

See Appendix T for Kirby's Claims Policy. Please read carefully and followprocedure outlined therein.

ERECTION

A. Before starting Erection, make sure that you have a complete set of

Erection drawings marked "For Construction", The cover sheet of Kirby

Erection drawings lists all the drawings in the set along with the latest

revision number and date.

B. It is the Builder/Erector's responsibility for mobilization, receiving, off

loading and furnishing necessary tools for the proper erection of a Kirby

Building.

C. The structure should be adequately braced at all times before raisingthe next component. The structure must be secured with temporary or

permanent bracing before release of raising equipment and at the end of

the day, week ends or other shutdowns.

When commencing erection of the building, the first braced bay must be

erected with all wind bracing, eave struts, purlins, girts and -flange braces

completely installed and all bolts properly tightened to make certain that

3


5/30

the building is properly braced. (See appropriate pages that follow in this

manual).

D. Ali joints should be made up and all bolts in place before releasing raising

equipment.

E. Until the first run of roof sheets is secured, temporary scaffold should

be used to start sheeting so that sheeters will have something to standon. See proper method of walking on the roof described in the sheeting

section of this Manual.

F. All sheeters should be cautioned regarding roof openings. Any uncovered

openings should be properly guarded.

G. Workers should never slide down columns and other structural members.

Ladders should be used to get on and off the building. Wail girts and

diagonal braces should not used as ladders.

The following list of tools and equipment is considered adequate for erection of

most Kirby Buildings. Actual Equipment Required may vary due to differences

in building type and size, job site conditions, and erection personnel. This list

is intended to serve as a recommendation only and should not be used as a

limitation to your inventory of erection equipment should be in accordance with

the general guidelines set forth in this manual.

As the building material is unloaded, it should be placed in and around the building

site near the place where it will be used. While each job will vary according to

size or site conditions, the layout below is a typical arrangement which offers

convenience and accessibility during assembly and erecti on.

Rigid frame columns are laid in position for raising :

Note : Leave access area through one end and the

full length of the building for erection equipment

Rafters are stacked for sub-assembly and easily accessible for setting.

Girts, purlins, eave struts and bracing are devided according to the requirementsof each bay.

Nestgd_Barts.(purlins. gjrte etc.) should be separated and blocked to allow drainage

Regardless of the method you

use, make sure, it is suitable

and adequate for the job when

considering size of the roof rafter

and hoisting equipment available.

Notes :

1. Assemble roof rafter components on the ground

2. Make sure roof rafter is level and straight before structural bolts are fully

tightened.

3. Bolt in place as many clips and flange braces as possible before raising

roof rafters to reduce erection time as it is easier to assemble these pieces

on the ground than it is to do it in the air.

4. For suggested method of hoisting roof rafters, see page 18 of this manual.

Notes :

If the roof rafter consists of more than two segments, additional purlins are tobe installed while roof rafter is held in place so that there are at least two purlinsspanning between roof rafter segments.

Step 5

As soon as all purlins, girts and eave struts

have been installed in the braced bay, it

should be accurately plumbed and squaredto insure correct alignment of the succeeding

bays. This is accomplished by adjusting thediagonal bracing and temporary bracing in theroof and wall planes.

1. With all the rods loosely installed, plumb

the columns of the rigid frame by tightening

or loosening the nut on the brace rods.

Remember, when one brace rod is

tightened, the other rod must be loosened.

When columns are plumb, sidewail brace

rods should be finally tightened to a "TUT"

condition.

Dimension "B" must be the same as

dimension "A" for column to be plumb. See

Fig. 1.

2. The roof beams should be aligned inprogression from the eave to the ridge.

Plumb the roof rafter at each connectionpoint and the ridge by tightening orloosening the rods at those points.

Stretch a line across the flanges at thebase of the column. Drop a plumbob fromridge point of the roof rafter, adjust asnecessary so that the plumbob is in line

with line at base of columns. When this

occurs the ridge is plumb. See fig. 2.

Before step 2 is started, check to make surecolumn and roof rafter flanges are the same width.If flanges are not the same width, allow for measurement

adjustments to compensate forthe width difference before proceeding with step 2,

Fig. 2.

3. Check to be sure that ridge point

of the rigid frame is over the center

line of the building, see fig . 3.

Measure to establish dim. "A"

dimension "B" is 72 dim. "A"

establish center line of building

from dimensions "A" & "B" and

mark center fine on floor slab.

Drop a plumbob from ridge point

of building, Adjust ridge point if

necessary so that plumbob aligns

with center line of building.

Note:

The plumbing and squaring operation is one of the most important functions of the erectionsequence. Spend sufficient time on this sequence to insure the braced bay is level, plumb andsquare to avoid id problems when continuing the erection sequence.

TransitLocation

Not e:

!n all cases the transitmethod of plumbing and

squaring the building is

preferred.

On building wider than 24 m,The following method is recommended.

Sequence

1. Locate transit as shown above, (in this

example it is located slightly to the left of IN

first rigid frame.)

2. Make sure transit is perfectly level.

3. Rotate transit until you get the same exact

tape reading at points A&B. (Base of coluifl

Outside flange-see detail).

Lock horizontal rotation of Transit.

Adjust rod bracing until the tape reading ai

point a&b is obtained at all points indicated

on above sketch - take all readings from**"

same surface as "A" & "B".

Step 6

Sequence

Proceed with the erection of the remaining frames and bearing end frames.

In each braced bay shown on the erection drawings, repeat step 4 beforeproceeding with the erection of additional bays.

Eave struts and peak purlins may be installed in intermediate bays between

braced bays to stabilise frames, however, do not start more work than can be

completed in a work day to ensure all structural framing is completed in those

bays before leaving the site at the end of the day.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As erection progresses, each braced bay must be fully completed as outlined in

step 4 before proceeding with the erection of additional bays.

35


21/30

Step 7

Sequence

1. Complete erection of main and secondary framing

2. Upon Completion of all secondary framing in the braced bay, plumbing and

squaring the braced bay, installing secondary framing in the end bay, paneling

may commence and be worked in conjunction with the completion of the

balance of the secondary framing. This could save time on larger buildings if

separate sheeting crews are used.

Not e:When the building reaches this stage of erection, sheeting should proceed

immediately. The structure without sheeting should not be left standing for

prolonged periods of time without taking proper precautions (temporary bracing,

blocking etc.) to prevent wind damage especially to purlins and girts due to

excessive vibration they are exposed to in the unsheeted condition.

Kirby Rib roof panels may be damaged by erection traffic. Traffic damage can be

avoided by the use of walk boards.

Two sets are suggested; one for the workman laying or fastening panels, the

other for traffic up and down the roof.

The walk boards are also an excellent safety precaution on steep roofs.

If you must step on the roof panel, always walk on the flat of the pane l, on or close

to the purlins.

Each side of Kirby Rib pane! and the Kirby Rib peak panel must be run inconjunction with each other to ensure correct alignment.Refer to other sections of this manual for details relating to eave alignmentof roof panels, sealer application and fastener types.

All damaged paint finishes are to be retouched to prevent rusting.In the event a screw is installed in the wrong location or should a screwbreak during the driving process, remove the screw and install one of thelarger diameter to prevent leaking.

Concentrated heavy loads (personnel or material) occurring on the roof duringconstruction shall be distributed uniformly over a large area in such amanner as to prevent damage to building components.

All metal shavings occurring as a result of drilling operations on the roof are tobe remove in such a manner as to prevent damage or staining of roof finish.(The roof should be swept clean at the end of each day)

Note:

For buildings having roof extension, canopies, lean-to's etc. Wall panelingmust be installed before roof sheets to allow for working clearances.

This procedure and masticapplication saves time inpicking up sheet corners andinsures a sealed four lapconnection,

1. It is recommended that sidewall and endwall sheeting should precede roofsheeting.

2. The building is to be plumb, square and tight before sheeting is begun.

3. Sheeting is shown in a left to right pattern as an illustration only. Actualsheeting is to begin at the leeward end of the building so that all panel lapswill be away from the prevailing wind. This will improve water tightness of theroof and prevent wind uplift of unsecured panels.

4. Check location of center line of center line of high Rib 5m from steel line atend of building so adjustment on gain or loss can be made if necessary.

5. Erection crew is to sweep roof panels clear of all metal shavings daily untilroofing is completed,
