Architectural precast erection questions
Architectural precast erection questions
(OP)
Hi there, I'm working for an architectural precast firm in GTA(Ontario) at my first year.
Since I am a freshman for this industrial, may I ask some entry level questions about apc erction?
1) how could it be posible to align all panels erected for a high rise condon (say 50-story)?
2) how could the panels be properly erected on a shear wall (like a stair well wall) as such a limited conection space between wall and panels?
3) I estimated 12 panels for a erection day (around 60sf/ea, high rise condon project), but finally, my site manager reported# much more less than I expected, sometimes 8, even 6 a day (8hours shift), company's lossing money on this particular issue...
any luck? Thanks ahead!

For 50 stories, deflection, shortening and lateral displacement issues can be a problem.
With a single crane 8 to 10 panels a day is not unreasonable once the hiccups are worked out.
