1.1Steel tower works shall be carried out as per the specifications and as perthe drawings issued by Engineer in charge..

2. ERECTION(i) It shall be ensured that structural components with correct markings as

indicated in drawings are used in correct position.

(ii) At the base connections the foundation bolts shall be located correctlyusing templates and grouted ensuring that all templates are in one horizontalplane. After erection of the first panel, its verticality shall be checked andcorrected if necessary.

(iii) Further erection work shall proceed panel by panel, bolts and nuts shallbe finally tightened up to the torque specified using torque wrenches. Verticalityof the tower shall be checked after complete erection of each panel. Each panelshall be completed in all respects and shall have the approval of the Engineer-in-charge before proceeding to the next panel.

(iv) If a panel is to be left incomplete, it shall be ensured if necessary byerection of temporary bracings that all the members erected form a stableconfiguration, sufficient to withstand dead and wind loads.

(v) The joint shall be made by drawing the light members into position withbarrel drifts. Drifts may be used on the heavier members only to secure them incorrect position. No member shall be force fitted. Any error in steel work, whichprevents the assembly and fitting up to the parts by the proper use of drifts, shallbe investigated immediately. If any defect or deficiency in the member comes tonotice, the same shall be rectified as per directions of the Engineer-in-Charge.

(vi)Packing plates shall be provided at the joints as shown on approveddrawings in order to make up the change in the thickness of the parts jointed.No other packing plates shall be used.

ENGINEERING INSTRUCTIONS

Laying of Ring Earth:(i) The ring earth around the tower is shown in FIGURE 1.A trench, 30 cms. wide and normally 150 cms. deep is dug. The depth should not beless than 60 cms. in any case. A G.I. (Galvanized Iron) strip of 50x3 mm. is laid in thetrench. The trench should be minimum one meter away from the building. In the case ofblack cotton soil, the trench should be sufficiently deep to avoid cracking of soil insummer. In case of rocky or hard murram soil, the depth may be 60 to 90 cms. In caseof rocky, hard murram and black cotton soil, the trench should not be filled by theexcavated material and instead foreign good earth, i.e. yellow soil or ash, which are fineand cohesive in nature, should be used. While filling the trench, the earth may berammed in layers, so as to give cohesiveness and compactness to the soil.(ii) The G.I. strips are to be connected with each other as shown in FIGURE 2. Thejoints are to be properly wrapped and sealed by waterproof tape to avoid any ingress ofmoisture at the joint, while laying the GI strips for ring earth, it should not be bentsharply at right angles, but should be laid in smooth curve of not less than one metreradius.

3.2.1 Plate Earth:

The arrangement of construction of plate earthing is shown in FIGURE 3.

4.0 MEASUREMENT OF EARTH RESISTANCE AND IT'S LIMIT:For the purpose of measurement of earth resistance, small interconnecting strip shouldbe provided in the ring earth in a small manhole chamber, so that ring earth can bebroken from loop.In case of ring earth, earth resistance is not a major significant item where allequipment is earthed to a common ring. For testing of earth resistance value ofcommon earth (by commoning of no. of individual earth), the testing of individual earthis to be done by disconnecting it from Equipotential bonding.The earth resistance should be less than or equal to 0.5 ohm for individual earth
