by gas, 3 mm shall be deducted from each cut edge.
The erection clearance for cleated ends of members connecting steel to steel shall preferably be not greater
than 2 mm at each end. The erection clearance at ends of beams without cleats shall not be more than 3 mm at

holes accurately located after the members are assembled and tightly clamped or bolted together.
Drifting or rimming of holes shall not be allowed. Holes for bolts shall not be formed by gas cutting process.
Punching of holes will not be permitted for M.S. members upto 8 mm thick and in no case shall a hole be
punched where the thickness of the material exceed the diameter of the punched hole.
Minimum bolt spacing and distances from edges of members shall in accordance with the provisions in the
relevant Indian Standard Specification.
Built members shall, when finished, be true and free from all kinds of twists and open joints and the material
shall not be defective or strained in anyway.
All bolts shall be galvanized including the threaded portion except the foundation bolts for which galvanizing
work shall be done for a length of 100mm (min) to 175mm (max) measured from the tip of the treaded portion.
The threads of all bolts shall be cleared of smelter by spinning or brushing. A die shall not be used for cleaning
the threads unless specially approved by the Engineer. All nuts shall be galvanized with the exception of the
threads which shall be oiled. In case of foundation bolts the same shall be galvanized excepting the length of
embedment.
When in position all bolts shall project through the corresponding nuts but not exceeding 10 mm. The nuts of all
bolts attaching insulator sets and earth conductor clamps to the structure shall be carefully positioned as
directed by the Engineer.
Bolts and nuts shall be placed in such a way so that they are accessible by means of an ordinary spanner.
Foundation bolts shall be fitted with washer plates or anchor angles and flats, nuts etc. and shall be
manufactured from mild or special steel.
Washers shall be tapered or otherwise suitably shaped, where necessary to give the heads and nuts of bolts a
satisfactory bearing. The threaded portion of each bolt shall project out through the nut at least by 3 mm. In all
cases the bolt shall be provided with a washer of sufficient thickness under the nut. In addition to the normal
washer, one spring washer or lock nut shall be provided for each bolt for connections subjected to vibrating
forces or otherwise as may be specified in the drawings.
The thickness of spring washer shall be 3.5 mm for bolt diameter 16 mm and 4 mm for bolt diameter 20mm.

protective coating. If, in the opinion of Employer / Engineer the material has been forcibly bent or warped in the
process of galvanizing of fabrication, such defects shall be cause for rejection.
REPAIR OF GALVANIZING:
Materials on which galvanizing has been damaged shall be acid stripped and re-galvanized, unless, in the
opinion of Engineer, the damage is local and can be repaired by zinc spraying or by applying a coating of
galvanizing repair compound. Where regalvanizing is required, any member which becomes damaged after
having been dipped twice shall be rejected.
