The design engineer will ensure that the shop drawings comply with the structural design. The project manager must check the shop drawings for compliance with dimensions. Shop drawings should include all the following as a minimum standard for panel drawings:

• Overall dimensions of the panel • All reinforcement information • All necessary lifting and propping points • Any other cast–in items • The concrete pour strength • The concrete lift strength • The panel thickness • The panel area • The volume (amount of concrete) • The mass of each panel • The location, orientation and depth of embedment of inserts, and where the insert

type is known, the configuration and cover of any component reinforcement required. • The diagonals • The connection loadings for all temporary propping • The brace type, size, safe working load limit, extended and closed limits, details (both

temporary and permanent) • The torque and limitation • The fixing lengths and angle • The sling or rigging configuration • The engineers approval (signature) and date • The name of the panel designer • The panel identification number

3.2.6 Stacking and Erection Sequence

The following factors shall be taken into consideration when determining the stacking and erection sequence:

• The shape, size and mass of precast members. • Specific design requirements, including the concrete strength required for handling

and the stability of long or unusually shaped members during handling, transportation and erection.

• The size and mobility of the crane needed to erect at the precast members. • The suitability of the site crane, if available, should be determined at the project

design stage if possible.




Version No: 2





• The manufactured size of the precast members will depend on the availability of suitable cranes with particular attention given to the lift capacity at maximum radius.

• Where a mobile crane is to be used, the adequacy and strength of the erection platform. Where the erection platform is a suspended slab, the suspended slab may either be designed to carry the additional loads, or temporary supports may be used.

• All suspended slabs and temporary support systems intended for use as erection platforms should be confirmed as being adequate to withstand the anticipated loading.

• Access for the crane and the precast members through local streets and all-other access onto and across the site.

• Overhead obstructions, particularly power lines • Erection equipment and capacity and location of lifting inserts • Temporary storage, where required

3.2.7 Rigging Activities

The following factors shall be taken into consideration when planning the rigging activities:

• Size of panels • Specific design requirements eg the required concrete strength at time of lift. • Size and mobility of crane needed to lift the panels. • Adequacy and strength of the erection platform. • Access for the crane – through local streets, onto and across the site and on or

alongside the casting bed for erection including the provision of a lifting plan, which considers underground services.

• Casting sequence, positioning of panel stacks, erection sequence and mobility of crane for erection.

• Overhead obstructions, particularly power lines • Intended location of inserts and rigging system to be used. • The possible need for on-site transportation of panels. • Traffic management plan – interface plan • Site interface -Traffic management plan, fall zones, exclusion zones, ground

conditions and services • Surrounding interface – traffic management, fall zones, and exclusion zones

pertaining to public, plant, equipment, vehicles, existing structures, power lines, ground conditions, underground services.

• Job Safety Analysis - as identified in the Method Statement, high-risk activities to be written as separate JSA’s.

• Risk assessment as per the JSA. • Toolbox meeting/communication – Contractor specific and site toolbox meeting to be

planned for each lift.




Version No: 2





3.3 Production and Erection

3.3.1 Panel production

• Refer to the pre-planning phase, to ensure a plan is developed for the appropriate location of the pour, given consideration for lifting sequence, crane access.

• Ensure the erection platform is capable of withstanding the downward forces of the proposed panels.

• All steel dockets to be kept as per document. • Formwork is prepared (Appendix E). • Project Manager to ask Electrician to locate panels with any conduits required prior.

When pouring is to be performed conduits can be placed. • The Box Numbers for each panel are to be recorded, as per the Building Casting Bed

Schedule (Appendix D). • Panels then released for pouring after the Site Manager signs off on the Panel

Fabrication Checklist (Appendix E). • Record the Date, Time and Ambient Temperature for each Concrete pour. • Sign off on the Panel Construction Master Checklist. • A Concrete Pour Record is then developed (Appendix F). • Testing/Sampling: The Site Manager needs to determine how the sampling regime is

to be managed. The Panel Fabrication Checklist (Appendix E) covers the fabrication of the panel. The concrete pour record (Appendix F) provides information on date, time and type of concrete that was included, weather conditions etc. The Site Manager is to discuss with the engineer to find a suitable sampling schedule. The Engineer determines the increase and the safety factor, so that the lifting can occur at a nominated period of days after the pouring. Cylinders from various panels are taken and then crush tested. It is important that during the curing of the sample it is left next to the panel to enable the same rate of curing. The progressive crush is to be verified by NATA laboratory, to achieve the required lift strength as specified by the temporary engineer.

3.3.2 Panel Lifting

• Ensure the site is briefed in the Site Toolbox meeting of the activity and location of the lifting of the panels. Site Communication is essential for ensuring the workers are kept informed of the lifting to occur. These are all to be documented, both site specific (everyone) and for rigging contractor performing the lifting. Everyone is to be signed on the toolbox meeting form.

• If practicable, exclude the non-essential trades from the site. • Rigging Contractor to discuss the Job Safety Analysis for the lift. • Rigging Contractor to check again the crane selected is suitable for the task, and the

boom is within radius.




Version No: 2





• Rigging Contractor to refer to the Rigging Method Statement for Panel Installation (Appendix G).

• Ensure the copy of the Master file to be at the location for the rigging contractor is accurate.

• Cordon off the area to exclude all personnel not involved in the lift. If practicable, close entry to the gate and where practical the cordoned off area is to be three times the height of the panel.

• Use and compile the Panel Lifting Schedule (Appendix C).

Refer to and follow the Panel Construction Master Checklist (Appendix B)

• The panels are sequenced for the lift, as required by the engineer. It is the responsibility of the Site Manager to ensure each panel is lifted in the correct sequence.

• Rigging contractor to place temporary props. Stabilisation of both temporary and permanent structures is critical to the safe operation of the job.

• Rigger to torque each bolt and carryout checks as specified by the Bracing Engineer. • Panels inspected after erection and Brace Bolt Torque Checks & Panel Visual

Inspection Register completed (Appendix D). • Certifying Engineer to sign for the structure being in place. • Site Manager then signs off Panel Construction Master Checklist (Appendix B).

3.3.3 Post Erection Site Control

• All incidents will be investigated as per EMCO Safety and Health Management Plan.

Appendix J – Tilt up & Precast Panel Awareness Training for Site Personnel

The contents of this information sheet must be communicated to all site personnel on EMCO Building projects where Tilt up & Precast Panels have been erected and braced prior to incorporation into the final structure.

1. Background

Tilt up & Precast Panels are a typical method of construction within the commercial building sector. Tilt up & Precast Panels may come in various sizes, shapes, thicknesses and finishes. While the use of Tilt up & Precast Panels is common, the hazards associated with their construction must never be

There have been and continue to be numerous cases of tilt panel collapse within the construction industry in Western Australia. In September of 2002 at a construction site in Myaree, a worker was killed as the result of a tilt panel collapse.

All site personnel are asked to take the utmost care when undertaking work on construction sites where Tilt up & Precast panels exist.

2. Training

It is a legislative requirement to have completed a Worksafe approved Carry Out Tilt Up Work Safely Course if your work involves the casting, transport, carnage, storage, erection, or stabilisation of tilt up or precast panels.

It is a legislative requirement to have completed a Worksafe approved Supervise Tilt Up Work Course if your work involves the supervision of any of the aforementioned activities.

It is a requirement of EMCO Building that persons involved in the drilling, coring, grouting, painting, cutting, patching of, or fixing to tilt panels while they are braced to have completed a Worksafe approved Carry out Tilt up Work Safely Course.

Site personnel must speak to their EMCO Site Manager of Supervisor if they are required to undertake work with Tilt up or Precast Panels and believe they do not have the necessary training.

3. Working Safely Around Tilt & Precast Panels

1. At no time are non essential site personnel permitted to enter the exclusion zone where tilt panels are being lifted or stabilised.

2. At no time are site personnel to touch, tamper with, or move props, braces or any other component which is used to lift, brace or support tilt panels.

3. At no time are site personnel permitted to climb on or over props or braces which are supporting tilt panels




Version No: 2





4. Site personnel are asked to maintain a safe distance from propped or braced tilt panels at all times.

5. At no time are site personnel permitted to operate mobile plant (bobcats, EWPS, cranes, telehandlers) in the vicinity of propped or braced tilt panels. Where it is necessary to operate plant in close proximity to propped or braced panels, the EMCO Site Manager/ Supervisor must be informed so that adequate controls can be put in place to prevent panels collapsing.
