carrying out the activities and proper clearance is available from civil side before commencement of
works.
 Verify that all relevant approved latest revisions of shop drawings, technical submittals, inspection,
and test plans for installation reference.

Procedure for Installation of Cross Beams in Bridges with

Steel Formwork System
i. Preparation:
 Review design documents: Ensure thorough understanding of cross beam specifications,
location, and connection details.
 Inspect steel formwork system: Verify its integrity, cleanliness, and proper alignment.
 Gather necessary equipment and materials: This includes lifting equipment (crane, hoist),
temporary bracing, and tools.
 After finishing the pier stem the next step will be the frame
 Chipping the surface of the top pier stem
 Field tests (sand cone , PLT ) for determine the compaction ration not less than 95% &
determine the bearing capacity not less than 3KG/cm2
 Start installing for the scaffolding (blocks, base plate, cross head, standards , pipes ,etc.)
 Starting RFT by fixing the steel chairs for bottom & top steel
 Finishing the RFT of frame by fixing the pedestal steel of elastomeric bearings

ii. Lifting and Positioning:

 Attach slings securely to designated lifting points on the cross beam. Use slings of appropriate
capacity and ensure proper balance.
 Lift the cross beam using the appropriate equipment. Maintain control and avoid sudden
movements.
 Guide the cross beam into its designated position within the steel formwork system. Use
positioning guides or temporary supports for precise placement.
iii. Alignment and Connection:
 Verify the cross beam's alignment with the surrounding formwork and bridge structure. Use
measuring instruments and adjust as necessary.
 Connect the cross beam to the formwork and adjacent beams. Utilize pre-drilled holes and
approved fasteners according to the design specifications.
 Tighten all connections to the required torque values. Use calibrated torque wrenches to ensure
proper tension and securement.
iv. Temporary Bracing and Inspection:
 Install temporary bracing to stabilize the cross beam and prevent movement during concrete
placement.
 Inspect all connections and ensure they are secure and meet the specified requirements.
 Re-check the alignment and adjust any discrepancies before proceeding with concrete pouring.
v. Concrete Placement and Curing:
 Place concrete around the cross beam, ensuring proper consolidation to eliminate voids and air
pockets.
 Follow designated curing procedures to allow the concrete to gain sufficient strength before
removing the formwork and temporary supports.
vi. Removal of Formwork and Temporary Bracing:
 Once the concrete has reached the required strength, carefully remove the formwork panels.
 Remove temporary bracing in a controlled manner, ensuring the stability of the bridge
structure.
vii. Finishing and Inspection:
 Inspect the exposed concrete surfaces for any defects and perform necessary finishing work.
 Conduct a final inspection of all connections and components to ensure adherence to design
specifications and safety standards.

9. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

 Quality assurance measures must be taken into consideration during execution in compliance with the
quality requirements of the contract and according to the technical specifications and approved ITP.
 All works requiring inspection and testing to demonstrate conformity with requirements will be
undertaken in accordance with relevant inspection and test plan.
