6. ANCHOR BOLT SETTING WORK PROCEDURE | METHOD STATEMENT
6.1 Anchor Bolts
6.1.1 Material
• The requirement of Anchor Bolts and Embedded Items materials and setting tolerances should be corresponded to the requirement in the latest IFC drawing , Project Specifications and Standard drawing. All Anchor Bolts shall be installed in accordance with the drawing and well supported against displacement. Anchor Bolts should be kept allowable tolerances.
6.1.2 Anchor Bolt assemblies shall comply with the following materials specifications.
• Bolt : ASTM F1 554 Grade 36, or ASTM A 193M Grade B? FU125 KSI
• Nut : ASTM A563 Grade A or ASTM A194 Grade 2H, Heavy Hex
• Washer : ASTM F436 I F436M type 1
• Coating : (Hot-Dip) Galvanized as per ASTM A 153 class C or ASTM B695 class 50.
6.1.3 Anchor Bolt Setting
• Determine and verify the detail of the Anchor Bolt requirement from the latest approved IFC and standard drawing.
• Verify the detail regarding bolt diameter, number, length, shape, type/grade, pitch, embedded and projection for a particular foundation.
• Prepare the concrete forms. Concrete forms should be ready for the installation of anchor bolts. Concrete forms should either wooden boards or steel plates.
• Fix properly secure the template on top of form by nails positioning the holes to coincide with the position of bolts. Templates shall be used to locate bolts in the formwork with reference to the X and Y axis.
• Install the bolts with nut and washer on top and at the bottom of template to hold to its position. Continue the process until all bolts are installed.
• Set the bolts accordingly to the required pitch, position, projection and correct top of bolt elevation as marked by the survey team.
• Tighten the nuts below and above the templates to hold it firmly to its position and avoid any displacement or misalignment during placing of concrete.
• Anchor bolts or any other steel embedment shall not be used as the means for grounding electrical equipment, and shall not be tied to neutral ground conductors.
• Support the bottom of the bolt by tying it with a spacer or separator to separate extra bar with minimum diameter of 12mm.
• Before the inspection of COMPANY and/or CONTRACTOR, pre-inspection should be done by DAEWOO QC Inspector.
• Concrete can be poured, after the inspection and accepted by COMPANY and CONTRACTOR.
• Care should be observed during concrete placing in particular vibrator should not be touching the anchor bolts to avoid displacement. All anchor bolts should be tightened firmly.
• Prior to concrete placing cover the nuts and threaded portion with masking tape to protect from getting spoiled with splattered or spilled concrete.
• After concrete placing, remove the masking tape, clean the bolts, nuts and treads, and cover them with greasily applied cloth to prevent them from rusting.
• Maximum allowable tolerance should be kept as per specification.
• After concrete pouring, CONTRACTOR’s and COMPANY’s QC Inspector should check the survey report of anchor bolt coordination and level which is prepared by survey team.
• As built survey data should be submitted to the CONTRACTOR and COMPANY.
