KS · 2015 Standard SpecificationsBook pages 466470View official source ↗

737 – CONTROLLED DEMOLITION sha ll provide the following information:  Plan of the work area showing pe rmanent support structures (piers and abutments), roads, railroad tracks, waterways (including navigational channe l), overhead and underground utilities and other information pertinent to erection.  Erection sequence for all members noting any temporary support conditions, such as holding crane positions, temporary supports, falsewor k, etc. Member reference marks, when reflected on the erection plan, should be the same as used on shop detail drawings.  In the Field Erection Plans, describe the number, location and bolting requirements for the permanent cross-frames or diaphragms for each stage of construction.  In the Field Erection Plans, address the expected condition of each bearing device for each stage of construction. State the minimum number of positive bearing connections or su pplemental connections to each bent cap which will resist all potential destabilizing forces.  In the Field Erection Plans, address traffic control and railroad issues.  If falsework bents or strong-backs are used, the Fiel d Erection Plans shall meet falsework requirements as defined in SECTION 708 .

b.The Contractor’s Erection Supervisor shall provide the following information:

 Location of each crane fo r primary picks showing all necessary information.  Capacity chart for each crane configuration.  Center of gravity, lift weight (including rigging) for all primary member picks.  Primary member site delivery location and storage orientation.  Details of any temporary lifting devices to be bolted/welded to or cast in to permanent members, including method and time (shop or field) of attachment, capacity and method, time and responsibility for removal.  Temporary support details for bridge bearings.

c.The Owner’s Inspector shall require the following:

 Requirements for bracing. At the end of the workday, remove the members not properly braced in compliance with the Field Erection Plan from the bridge substructure elements.  All rigging must have capacity stamps, tags or be otherwise permanently marked on the device (per OSHA Standards)

737.5CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

No erection work may begin without an approved Fiel d Erection Plan. The Contractor is responsible for the erection, even though the Field Erection Plans have been approved by the Engineer. See SECTION 105 . Keep the approved Field Erection Plans available on site at all times. Before erection begins, resolve any questions that any party may have. Prepare a Contingency Plan if the number of stable girder lines to be erected does not meet the Field Erection Plan number for a sequence proposed. (i.e. the plan says 6 girder lines and because of problems, 5 girder lines where erected before traffic delay penalties accrued). It is required that all traffic must be stopped wh ile overhead erection work involving the placement of primary members into the permanent structure is being performed. No members shall be suspended over highway traffic at any time during loading, unloading, moving, rigging or placing. In no case will KDOT allow highway/railroad traffic to travel under uncompleted structures without compliance of Fi eld Operation Three above. Erect the fabricated structure and perform all work requ ired to complete the structure as specified in the Contract Documents. Provide a ll falsework, tools, machinery and appliances required to complete the work. After the structure is erected, remove all falsework, appliances and other obstructions or debris resulting from erection. Provide the Engineer with safe means (such as scaf folding, safety lines, snoopers or hoist buckets) to inspect any portion of the structure during the erection operations. The Engineer will refuse permission to proceed with erection work if the erection process is determined to be unsafe or substantially different than approved Field Erection Plans.

737.6MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Erection is considered complete when all field conn ections are completed to the final design condition and falsework is removed. The Engineer will not measure Fiel d Erection and Field Erection Plans for separate payment. 738 – HIGH MAST LIGHT TOWERS
