80 USE OF SYSTEMS STAIRS (temprary stairs) DURING CONSTRUCTION January 4, 2010 Gal: Executin Plan: Erectin: Inspectin: Lgistics: Dismantling: T the greatest extent pssible mitigate the use f gang ladders. Emply systems stairs t mve manpwer thrughut the building. The systems stairs shuld be erected as early as pssible but n later than immediately after the steel erectr has turned ver a flr/level t Gilbane. The systems stairs will be erected by the carpentry trade n the prject, ptin is t buy thrugh the cncrete trade, general trade, r any trade that emplys carpenters. This decisin will be made n the jb n a case by case basis. Carpenters are required t erect any stairs greater than 14 in height frm the grund up. The systems stair must be inspected n a daily basis by a persn trained in scaffld safety. In the event the systems stairs are purchased thrugh a Trade Cntractr we shuld insure that the inspectins cntinue if the Trade cmpletes its scpe f wrk and the stairs remain in place beynd cmpletin. Under n circumstance shuld Gilbane prvide the inspectin services it shuld perfrmed thru the entity that prvides the system r by anther Trade Cntractr. Lcatin f the stairs inside r utside the building ftprint will be determined by the field persnnel based n what is the best applicatin fr the prject. It shuld be nted that any stairs that are ging t be used during the winter mnths will have t be enclsed and prvided with temprary lighting. When buying the stairs it shuld be made clear t the entity wh furnishes the stair that this requirement must be incrprated int the design. Fr installatin n the interir f the building the minimum pening size is 14 X 8. If lcated n the exterir cnsider use f a temprary slab at the base. Cnsider duble planking the tp f the stair twer. Twers shuld be lcated away frm the steel erectrs crane swing t avid picking verhead. Systems Stairs shuld nt be dismantled until such time that adequate access can be prvided using the permanent stairs.

81 Hw Many: This decisin shuld be made by the prject team based n size f the building ftprint. Apprximate Csts: Based n a three t fur stry building the cst t erect and dismantle with ne mnth f rental is apprximately $6,000, the cst f an additinal mnth f rental is apprximately $1,500.

82 WIRE ROPE GUARDRAILS INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE January 4, 2010 Gal: Install and maintain fall prtectin guardrail cables at building perimeters and interir flr penings which meet the requirements f OSHA Subpart M in a cst effective manner. Backgrund and Executive Summary: Fr many years wire rpe cables have been used as guardrails at building perimeters and interir penings. They are generally installed by the steel erectr and left in place fr the prtectin f ther trades until cnstructin prgress dictates their remval. The mst cmmn type f wire rpe used fr perimeter prtectin has been ½ 6x19 cable. The tp and mid-rail f the guardrail cables are typically run thrugh punched hles in the webs f clumns r thrugh welded nuts n tube steel clumns. In sme instances the steel erectr installs stanchins at midpints between clumn spans and in ther cases this is nt dne. It is cmmn fr a single guardrail cable t run tw hundred feet r mre and make several ninety degree turns befre being terminated. The cmmn methd f inspecting wire rpe guardrails has been t ensure that the cables are cnnected t adequate anchrages, i.e. clumns and/r stanchins with the crrect number f wire rpe clips. An inspectr wuld then lk fr any visible deflectin in the cables, and t push dwn n the cable by hand with mderate frce. If the cable did nt deflect r deflected nly minimally, it was cnsidered t be in cmpliance. Recently, OSHA has begun inspecting cables in a mre aggressive fashin by utilizing scales and applying significantly mre dwnward frce n the cables than had been part f previus standard cable inspectins. The results f these mre aggressive cable inspectins indicate that many wire rpe guardrail systems d nt meet the minimum requirements f OSHA Subpart M. Gilbane cntracted Odeh Engineers t cnduct an engineering study and structural analysis f wire rpe guardrail assemblies in an effrt t develp a safe, cst effective and OSHA cmpliant installatin f guardrail cable assemblies. Initial calculatins cnducted by Odeh Engineers Inc. determined that ½ 6x19 wire rpe has a high mdulus f elasticity which allws the cable t stretch. As a result, a tremendus amunt f tensin must be applied during installatin, s much s that it is extremely difficult t install using standard cnstructin tls and methds. This prblem is cmpunded when the cable is installed in lng runs r makes 90 degree turns. It was als determined that ½ wire rpe is mre susceptible t expansin and cntractin due t temperature fluctuatins which can lead t increased maintenance f the cables. Fr these reasns 3/8 galvanized aircraft cable, which has a lwer mdulus f elasticity and is less susceptible t temperature fluctuatins, is preferred fr perimeter fall prtectin and is the fcus f the Structural Analysis and Field Test Reprt. 1

83 The Structural Analysis and Field Test Reprt detail the initial tensin frces and installatin methds that must be applied t the cables t achieve cmpliance with OSHA Subpart M. OSHA Requirements f particular cncern: (b) (1) Guardrail systems: Tp edge height f tp rails, r equivalent guardrail system members shall be 42 inches plus r minus 3 inches abve the wrking / walking level. When cnditins warrant the height f the tp edge may exceed the 45 inch height, prvided the guardrail system meets all ther criteria f this paragraph (b) (3) Guardrail systems shall be capable f withstanding, withut failure, a frce f at least 200 punds applied within 2 inches f the tp edge, in any utward r dwnward directin, at any pint alng the tp edge (b) (4) When the 200 pund test lad specified in paragraph (b) (3) f this sectin is applied in a dwnward directin, the tp edge f the guardrail shall nt deflect t a height f less than 39 inches abve the walking / wrking level. Executin Plan: The wire rpe installatin and maintenance requirements shuld be reviewed with and purchased frm the structural steel fabricatr and/r erectr if the erectr is a separate cntract with Gilbane. The requirements utlined in the Installatin Plan shall be reviewed with the cntractr during scpe review and pre-mbilizatin meetings. Installatin Plan: Wire rpe used fr guardrails and mid-rails shall be new 3/8 7x19 galvanized aircraft cable. The tp rail f the wire rpe guardrail system shall be installed 43 ½ inches abve the finished flr. The mid-rail f the wire rpe guardrail system shall be installed apprximately halfway between the finished flr and the tp guardrail cable, i.e. 22 inches. The length f cable used shall nt exceed 120 feet withut being terminated. Cables shall be terminated at all 90 degree turns. All terminatins shall be lped cnnectins cnnected with a minimum f three wire rpe clamps. Line splices are nt permitted. 2

84 In bays with clumn spacing less than 30 feet a minimum f ne intermediate stanchin is required. In bays with clumn spacing greater than 30 feet a minimum f tw intermediate stanchins are required. If steel angles are used as stanchins at crners, they must have diagnal supprts ( knee braces / kickers ) installed t at least 80% f the height f the stanchin. Field tests have indicated that a significant pretensin lad must be applied t the cables during the initial installatin. Irnwrkers installing the cables will need t apply apprximately 2,400 punds f tensin frce t the cable during the initial installatin. Field tests have shwn that a significant amunt f tensin can be lst during the installatin f the wire rpe clips and the release f the cable puller / cme-alng device. Installatin f guardrails at interir flr penings, i.e. stair r mechanical shafts, shall cnfrm t ne, r a cmbinatin f the fllwing: Optin 1 Install 3/8 galvanized air craft cable thrugh stanchins at 43 ½ inches abve the finished flr. Terminate cables at 90 degree turns. Optin 2 Blt 2 ½ x 2 ½ x ¼ steel angles nt stanchins. A mid-stanchin / pst is required fr spans greater than 8 feet. Optin 3 Secure 2 x 4 cnstructin grade lumber t steel stanchins. A midstanchin / pst is required every 8 Nte: A mid-rail is required at 22 abve the finished flr in all three ptins. Maintenance Plan: The steel fabricatr and/r erectr shall prvide and install turnbuckles at guardrails and mid-rails at a spacing nt t exceed 120 feet. Turnbuckles shall have a breaking strength equal t r greater than the 3/8 galvanized 7x19 aircraft cable (typically 14,400 punds). The steel erectr shall prvide a minimum f turnbuckles per flr t be installed at lcatins directed by Gilbane fr the lading f materials. The cable assemblies used at lading prts shall be separate assemblies frm the rest f the perimeter prtectin n the flr. (# f turnbuckles per flr and lading prts 3

85 shuld be determined by prject staff based n the size and lgistics f the building) The steel erectr is respnsible fr the maintenance f the guardrail systems until Gilbane directs the steel erectr t remve the system. (Unless ther arrangements are made fr anther cntractr t take ver the respnsibility after initial installatin and maintenance by the steel cntractr). It is recmmend that each prject purchase a cme-alng and Havens grip t allw fr maintenance f the cables by the general cnditins trade cntractr in the event that guardrail cable maintenance is needed and the steel erectr has dembilized frm the site. Inspectin Plan: Inspectin f perimeter and exterir guardrail systems shuld be part f every DBO2 inspectin while such cnditins exist. Any deficiencies nted during the inspectin shuld be prmptly cmmunicated t the party respnsible fr maintenance fr immediate crrectin. Applying a 200 pund test lad t guardrails in field cnditins is extremely time cnsuming, cumbersme, and impractical t cnduct n a frequent basis. Since guardrail deflectin is directly related t cable tensin, the use f a Quick Check Tensin Meter prvides a relatively simple and expedient way f determining if guardrail cables have been installed with adequate tensin t meet the requirements f OSHA (b)(4). The Dilln Quick Check Tensin Meter brchure and price list is attached (prices may vary). Each Gilbane District Office shall have ne tensin meter fr use by any jbsite. Larger prjects are recmmended t purchase their wn fr use at their prject. At the end f the jb the tensin meter shall be either transferred t anther jb r turned int the Reginal/District Safety Manager. Peridic calibratin checks shall be cnducted per the manufacturer s recmmendatins. Field tests have shwn that when inspecting guardrail tensin using a tensin meter, cable tensin shall be a minimum f 1,700 punds. With the cable height at 43 ½ inches, this will maintain the cable height abve the OSHA requirement f 39 inches when a 200 pund frce is applied per OSHA Subpart M. Randm verificatin is recmmended. (it is imprtant t ensure that the cable at the tp rail is installed at 43 1/2 inches abve the finished flr). 4
