1. Start on a level surface
The surface on the supporting walls must be level and even.
Celcon blocks are the preferred supporting surface due to ease of levelling by sanding down. If the level is not even enough a layer of traditional sand:cement mortar should be used.
2. Turning the elements
The elements are packed upright in fours delivered on wooden bearers. Once unloaded using straps and crane element turns are used to enable the clamp to be positioned.
3. Crane installation
The elements should generally be installed using a crane and assembly clamp, as other methods could damage the elements.
4. Bearings
Minimum bearing: 90mm on masonry and 80mm on steel.
5. Locking together
Brush the supporting surface clean and remove burrs and loose particles along the longitudinal edges of the elements so that the structural dimension is maintained, then draw the elements together using the assembly lever.
6. Services
Holes for services should only be made in the non-reinforced area along the edges of the elements.
Notes
Storage: Elements should be unloaded onto a dry, level surface and must be covered to protect them from severe weather.
Remember that the elements have not been designed to carry more than the specified loads. Temporary intermediate support must be provided if heavier loads are to be temporarily stored on the deck.
