Abstract
An assembly method is described for greased, plastic coated and prestressed concrete reinforcing tendons, comprising a work plan, an intelligent and reusable modular structure (modular box), a resistant support and a fixer for the tendons in resistant support, aiming to solve problems of storage, productivity, transport, construction process, generating improvement in technical qualification, thus obtaining a faster, more accurate and safer conference, associated with the color system inserted in a work plan. This method is used in the field of Civil Construction, especially in the execution of prestressed massive flat slabs.
Claims1
A method for resistant assembly of grease and prestressed plastic coated tendons, comprising:
- after executing a contract (1.1), a client (work) sends to a construction company a most up-to-date version of structural prestressing designs for massive slabs (1.2) and files the structural prestressing designs in a work folder (1.3) to start a work plan (2);
- executing the work plan (2) as soon as the work plan arrives in an engineering department, the execution of the work plan beginning by a calculating engineer confirming a project version (2.1);
- if a version of a project is not a most up-to-date version, the calculating engineer sending a new project version to the construction company, if the project version is a most up to date version, the work plan starts with execution of a cutting spreadsheet (2.2), where a person in charge extracts from project version information of a number of tendons per axis and a length of the tendons, in parallel with creation of a cutting sheet, a survey is carried out (2.3) of an amount of resistant supports for solid slabs that will be necessary for assembly of each floor of a building, after the support survey is carried out, the work plan is drawn up where a person in charge separates the project into modules (2.5), wherein each module contains an exact number of resistant supports for the execution of that part of the project, after carrying out the survey of the number of resistant supports, a number of active or passive accessories necessary for execution of a floor is calculated (2.4), once the survey of accessories and supports is completed, the engineering department generates a material separation order for a factory (2.6), containing all information for those responsible to separate materials for each floor that will be sent to a work site;
- creating a summary for production (3):
- through the project, information is extracted from the cutting spreadsheet comprising a quantity and length of tendons, survey of resistant supports per module and the material separation order comprising at least anchoring and wedges (3.1), the information is passed on to respective parts of a factory for the production of all material (3.2);
- producing resistant supports according to a summary (4):
- in possession of summaries issued by the engineering department, respective parts of the factory start producing materials necessary for execution of the floors in the work plan (4.1 and 4.2);
- sending the resistant supports for dispatch (5):
- once all the materials have been produced by the respective parts of the factory, a logistics department is activated and the materials are separated and checked to be sent to the work site (5.1 and 5.2);
- storing the supports inside a modular box (6):
- after separating the resistant supports, a responsible employee checks quantity and size of the supports and assembles then, as stipulated in the work plan, modules and sub-modules of the box, allocating each support in its proper place (6.1 and 6.2);
- sending to the work site (7):
- with all the materials checked and packed, the logistics department prepares invoices and a transport packing list to be sent to the work site (7.1 and 7.2);
- storing the modular box on the work site (8):
- after the assembled modular box leaves a warehouse, the modular box is received by a person in charge of the work upon arriving at the work site (8.1), the person in charge of the work checks the materials received and stores the checked materials in an appropriate place (8.2);
- sending the work plan to the person in charge of the work (9):
- following all steps and with all checklists checked, a regional manager sends the work plan to the person in charge of the work through a contact e-mail work carried out by the engineering department (9.1 and 9.2);
- executing of the work plan:
- executing the work plan comprising the following actions:
- i. Upon arriving at the work site, a person in charge of the client checks with the person in charge of the work if pavement is already ready to be assembled (10.1), if the pavement is ready to be assembled, the person in charge of the work checks the sent project with the pavement that will be assembled (10.2.a;
- 10.2.b and 10.2.c);
- ii. If the work has crane for heavy vertical transport, then transport a complete set of accessories and supports (10.3.a);
- if the vertical transport equipment is a winch, transport the complete individual modules (10.3.b);
- if there is no equipment for vertical movement, transport only sub-modules (10.3.c);
- iii. Carry out demarcation of a first solid slab with marker pens, as ordered by the work plan (10.4);
- iv. Fix prestressing accessories to a side panel as indicated in the work plan (10.5);
- v. After checking the demarcation, carry out assembly assistance by positioning the resistant supports for solid slabs of each module in their respective location, according to the work plan (10.6);
- vi. With all the resistant supports for solid slabs in their respective places, fix the resistant supports to positive reinforcement of the solid slabs, as indicated in the work plan (10.7);
- vii. When all the resistant supports are fixed, the greased ropes are positioned on the resistant supports (10.8) and tying the greased ropes to the resistant supports with annealed wire over the resistant supports (10.9);
- viii. As soon as the step vii is finished, a general supervisor or a unit manager checks assembly and, as necessary, corrects errors or approves the first solid slab for a next step (10.10).
