9.1 GENERAL
9.1.1 Scope
1 This Part the requirements for the accuracy of erected structural steelwork.
2 Related Parts and Sections are:
This Section
Part 7 Accuracy of Fabrication
Part 8 Erection
9.1.2 General Requirements
1 Permitted maximum deviations in erected steelwork shall be as specified in Clause 9.4.2 of this
Part taking account of the following:
(a) All measurements be taken in calm weather, and due note isto be taken of temperature effects
on the structure. (See Clause 8.4.2 of this Section).
(b) The deviations shown for I sections apply also to box and tubular sections.
(c) Where deviations are shown relative to nominal centrelines of the section, the permitted
deviation on cross-section and straightness, given in Part 7 of Section, may be added.
9.2 INFORMATION FOR SUB CONTRACTORS
9.2.1 General
1 The Contractor shall advise sub contractors engaged in operations following steel erection of the
deviations acceptable in this document in fabrication and erection, so that they can provide the
necessary clearances and adjustments.
