    M4 Cut & Cover – Tunnel road ceiling support

    Detailed by Ganesh & team

    Tek1 has successfully completed the industrial project for the reputed organisation in Australia .

    We have provided a ceiling support steel for the tunnel road. One of the main challenges we faced in this project was site measurement. We had to provide frames between two walls, and modeling using design dimensions was not feasible.

    As a result, we decided to model all of the frames using the site measurements. We received measurements of the rock surface which was uneven, so we had to calculate the face-to-face dimensions for each frame and then proceed with the modeling process.

     

    We are thrilled to announce that this project has been successfully completed without any errors!

    Lots of site measure involved in this project. TEK1 coordinated with builder & surveyor to finish the project without any error. Client is happy with our work.We are always focus on the client requirements.

  • Add Bent Plate or Welded Plates

    For the fabricator, bent plates are more expensive to produce in low volume. So when you want a bent plate, in low volume ( less than 50 pieces, go for welded plates). More than that please raise an RFI. When you are detailing please note this one.

  • Asymmetric Zed Purlin

    Asymmetric Zed Purlin

    Lysaght Zed sections feature one broad & one narrow flange, sized so that two sections of the same size fit together snugly, making them suitable for lapping.
    The table below from the lysaght catalogue clearly shows the difference in sizes of each flanges.

    Lysaght Zed Purlin Catalogue

    The purlin bolts are always placed equidistant from the centre & hence the steel modeller does not have to worry about whether the broad flange of a purlin comes at top or the narrow flange. The broad & narrow flanges will be placed alternatively at the site. This is the case for almost all the times.

    But very rarely, there might be additional bolts/holes at the top flange or bottom flange and the steel modeller has to consider modelling the purlins with their exact orientation i.e, whether broad flange of a purlins comes at top or the narrow flange.

    For instance, the below design demands for M12 bolts or hook rods from the top flange of the Zed purlin to support the nearby gutter. Hence the modelling has to be precise about the broad flange & narrow flange for each purlin in a continuous row.
