Steel fabrication, erection and hybrid construction Fabrication: In fabrication methods such as grinding, welding, cutting, bending, drilling, punching, burning or melting are involved. High quality tools and Computer Numerical Controller equipment is also used. Crucial steps and measures are needed to be done in this process. Structural steel is usually fabricated to create structures like beams, trusses, hollow sections, angles and plates. Structures have to be specifically designed and fabricated before constructing and assembling them together. Steel erection: Erection is done with the help of cranes or by jacking and lifting and placing components. Bolted connections are done to keep the components secure and bracing is also done. Structure alignment is essential by checking the column bases to be lined and levelled. The process involves lifting and placing an exact position by connecting together. Connections may be achieved by bolting,...
