  • Absolute minimum Anchor Spacing

    Please note that the spacing and edge distances given in the ferrule tables is for design purposes only and not a minimum for actual installation. That is the dimensions given are for each insert to achieve 100% capacity. They can be placed closer. It just means their combined capacity will be reduced. The same is for drilled and epoxied bars.

  • Technical drawing standards for certain clients.

    Please refer to the following techical standards for one of our clients.

  • Subject Line it Emails

    When writing subject line in emails, DO NOT JOIN WORDS WITH “_”.

    Example Q10231_MACORNA ST SUP BRIDGE.

    In the above subject line words are connected by underscore. On mail search by subject line, a search for Q10231 will not bring up the mail

    A better approch will be do not use underscore separate by space

  • When projects are delayed we need to invoice

    These are our terms

    VariationsVariations affect our cash flow adversely. In the event of any variations, we may need payment prorata for work already completed, before we take up variations — if they cause major delays in the submission of approval drgs. Variations are charged at the above mentioned rate. You will be notified of variations as and when they appear and are applicable. If you do not agree to the variations we are claiming,please inform us within 72 hours of us sending you the notice. If we do not receive a notification from you refusing our claim then this we will presume you to accept the variation, and we will continue to implement the applicable changes required in the drawing and bill it accordingly. Variations will be billed every week and is payable within 7 days. If payments are not made on time, we reserve the right to stop work without being liable for any consequential losses which may arise as a result

  • Maximum Cleat Heights for Purlins and Girts

    There are recommended maximum heights for purlins and Girts. If you want more heights the options are increase cleat thickness ore change cleat profile to may be equal angle profile.

    Expert steel detailers will know what to do and will use the appropriate thickness and profile

    If you are using 8 mm plate cleat, you can go upto 150 mm max

    Beyond that use an EA cleat

    75×6 EA is good.

    Increasing plate thickness may not be a good option because of PB30 bolt where the bolt length is only 30 mm.

  • Australian Standards – Available for Staff at Tek1 on the firm’s Google Drive

    All staff should have access to the relevant Standards.

    You should be familiar with them, and master them – otherwise you will embarrass yourself, and the firm, if you claim knowledge but demonstrate ignorance. The latter is especially costly to clients, and detrimental to your name and reputation (as well as the firm’s) – you certainly will not be getting repeat work if you prove ignorance.

    Please access them at the firm’s google drive location here.
