BSI Erection Manual


INTRODUCTION

The ERECTION PROCEDURE is intended to provide Building System Integration (BSI) and/or erectors with recommended procedures for erecting BSI buildings as safely and efficiently as possible. However, Building System Integration (BSI) is not liable for, and does not guarantee the quality of erection, nor does BSI assume any responsibility for building defects that may be attributed to improper erection techniques, or the negligence of other parties.






CORRECTION OF MINOR ERRORS:

A.

All erection work will be treated as outlined in the American Institute of Steel

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 and 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 BSI Erection Coordinator to enable BSI to either correct the error or approve the most efficient and economical method of correction to be used by the Erector / Builder.


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 BSI ER.WR. So, BSI 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 BSI and shall also furnish a suggested solution and the cost thereof. BSI shall have the option of:
