Erection of Precast Elements

Erection of Precast Elements

Our Erection Process involves 5 steps starting from Setting out and Marking to Structural Screeding. Our Erection Process involves the following Steps:

  • Setting out and Marking
  • Erection and Alignment
  • Grouting
  • Scaffloding and Formwork
  • Structural Screeding

1. Setting out and Marking

After the Production the Elements can be dispatched for the Erection Process. In the Erection Process initially the elements can be marked with offset line and reference line.

  • Offset line and reference line is set for the element to be erected.
  • Shim pads are placed to level the surface.
  • Check to be made for the position of starter bars before hoisting the element.

2. Erection and alignment

  • After erection of the element, alignment of the panel to be checked.
  • The same can be achieved by adjusting the propping.
  • Once the propping is done the hoisting of the element can be removed.

3. Grouting

  • Once the panel is erected the sides are sealed with backer rod or foam material.
  • Non-shrink grout is poured in the corrugated splice sleeve and vertical sides of the panel. It should be free flowing and self compacting.
  • Ensure that all joints (vertical and horizontal are sealed) before pouring the grout.

4. Scaffolding & Formwork

  • Temporary propping to be provided before the erection of beam and slab elements.
  • Half slabs and prestressed slabs also act of shuttering and thus save more time when compared with conventional shuttering methods.

5. Structural Screeding

  • Once the slab elements are erected, screed reinforcement is being done.
  • All joints and critical connections to be ensured in accordance with design specifications.
  • Grouting of all vertical and horizontal joints to be ensured.
  • Finally screed concrete is poured.
