Another one of my jobs that i have ben working on came back from the galvanizers yesterday.
Its a mock up for a multistorey car park, so our customers customer can see how they are built, see what the cladding and crash barriers look like etc. If it comes of i think its worth about £8.5million for our customer, so worth a few grand to make a trial version!
Todays job, put it all up.
And a lovely day for it too!
Had a crane booked, turned out to be a brand spanking new 60ton machine.
Talking to the driver, its about £370,000 worth Bought outright
The legs are 254x254x167kg/m welded to 30mm thick baseplates.
(Single pass, 1.2 wire, Hitachi pulse mig, running about 300 amps)
Wind braces are 90mm tube, with 10mm thick tongues cut into the tube and welded.
The horizontal span beams are 457x191x89kg/m Bolted with 5 m20 bolts at each end.
The horizontal tie beams, are only 152x152x23kg/m.
Not a very good pic of the framework im afraid.
The cladding panels are 2mm zintec, that i punched and folded to make the customers architectural design.
