• Picture 1 – Lay out Bridge Girder andLeg Structures and Level – Align.
• A qualified Structural Surveyor with aLevel Instrument and Theodolyte isrequired.
• Measure the Structures and confirmAlignments and Measure the LegStructure to be Cut / Trimmed for theconnection to the Bridge Girder.
• Picture 2 - Cut / Trim / EdgePreparation of the Leg Structure Jointto the Bridge Girder. Note that theWeld Joint Design is Full Penetrationfrom one (1) Side with Backing Strip.
• After Preparation – Tack up• Structural Surveyor with a Level
Instrument and Theodolyte to ConfirmAlignments and Measurements.
• Full Penetration Weld Process• Q.C. NDT – U.T. 100%

• After the welding process is completed,the Weld Joint and surrounding areamust be Painted with the CoatingSpecification As per ISO 8501-1 andby mechanical power tool cleaning.
• Picture 3 – The Leg Connection to theSill Beams must be prepared.
• Measurement Joint Preparation and• Structural Surveyor with a Level
Instrument and Theodolyte to ConfirmAlignments and Measurements.
• Note that the Weld Joint Design is FullPenetration from one (1) Side withBacking Strip

• At the same time the Structural Assembly is being prepared the Lower Sill Beamand Gantry is assembled and aligned.
• First item of this works is to Assemble the Equalizer Beam / Wheel Fork Assemblyto the Sill Beam with the Pin Connection (NCSC will Supply the Equalizer Beam /Wheel Fork Assembly ). Picture 5 (Next Slide) shows the completed assembly.
• Picture 5 – The following is the preparation procedure for the Sill Beam Assemblyto accept the Upper Portal Assembly Connection:
1. Install Sill Beam / Gantry Assembly to Leveled Support Stands. Again the processmust be done with qualified Structural Surveyor with a Level Instrument andTheodolyte to Confirm Alignments and Measurements.
2. The two (2) Sill Beam Assemblies (Diesel Side & E-Room Side) must be alignedcentrally and together with the Four (4) corners of the Structure Leveled andAligned
3. The Sill Beam Assemblies and also tied with Counter Weight Blocks for Safetyduring the Pre-Assembly and Assembly of the Upper Portal Structure (two (2)Counterweights per side – each Counterweight 10Tons)
4. Backing Strip installed at the Four (4) Upper Portal Connection Areas.

• Picture 6 (Next Slide) – The Upper Portal Assembly - weight includind AccessWays, Cable Trays and Cables = 31Ton ( 1 Bridge Girder & 2 Legs ) is lifted intoposition using the Following Lifting Arrangement (Note also the pre-installation ofthe Tie Rods) –
1. 1 x Lifting Spreader Beam – 5T.2. 2 x Lifting Beams - 0.75T ea x 2 = 1.5T.3. 2 x Lifting Wire Rope Sling Arrangements ( Each Sling Arrangement Capacity 35T).4. 1 x 150 T Crawler Crane.5. 2 x 50T Hydraulic Mobile Crane (to Tail out the Legs during the initial Lift).• After placing the Upper Structure and Sliding the Legs over the Backing Strip on
the Sill Beam the Structure Alignment must be confirmed by the qualifiedStructural Surveyor with a Theodolyte.
• The Upper Portal must be re-strained by wire ropes to counterweight blocks –tensioning with Chain Blocks. Fixed Points are mounted under the Bridge Girder.
• The Full Penetration Weld Joint Preparation must be Q.C. Inspected and approved.• After all the above has been completed the Welding Process can be completed
with the N.D.T. 100% U.T. Inspection.• After the welding process is completed, the Weld Joint and surrounding area must
be Painted with the Coating Specification As per ISO 8501-1 and by mechanicalpower tool cleaning.
• Picture 7 (2nd Next Slide) – After the Two (2) Upper Portal Assembles areinstalled the Rail Distance (Shown by the Red Arrow) must be confirmed and thenthe Tie Rods between the two (2) Assemblies may be connected.
