We have been asked to provide steel beams imbedded in a concrete floor. It is our understanding that rails will be installed on the beams. Automated die spotting carts will run on the rails. The specified slope tolerance for the beams is 0.006" per foot.
The available mill tolerance on most of the beam sizes is at least 100 times what we are required to hold.
We have identified one solution -- weld bar to the top flange of the beam, straighten the beam in a press, then mill the plate.
The cost for this method is high. There are several hundred feet of beam to install. Does anyone have a detail that is cost effective yet easy to install?
