RFI Process for Steel Model Connections – Key to Project Precision
In the detailing world, accuracy and proactive planning are paramount.we reinforce this with a specific RFI (Request for Information) step before proceeding with connections in our Precast with steel models. Here’s why it matters: By embedding RFIs in our workflow, we prioritize precision, risk reduction, and cohesive teamwork in every project.

Changes in Consultant drawings between Quotation stage to the Project stage? You must check: here’s why…
It is essential to cross-check the revised consultant drawings we receive against the original drawings from the Quotation stage before commencing the project because this may affect prices. For example, the panel break up, or the panel specs might have changed. If they have changed, this might have a material impact on price such…

TEMPORARY CONNECTION WITH DETAILS
Precast erection procedure having the set of sequences. When the panel is installed on the slab, props are fixed to stable the panel, then panel was unhooked from crane then the temporary stich plate or stich angles are connected to the next panel through cast in ferrule, which is casted on the precast panel. The…

HEADER WITH DETAILS
In-situ or Precast element present above the door or window opening is called header. (Ref.Fig.01&02) Usually, the height of header will be small, and it will have more load impact for the smaller load distribution area. For structural stability that header needs to have high strength. If structural engineer didn’t specify more strength means it…

GROUT TUBE WITH DETAILS
GROUT TUBES: Grout Tubes are hollow components and are made of plastic or thin sheet metals. (Refer Fig.01) Grout tubes are cast into precast elements which create a void to locate and connect the elements (between two precast elements or in-situ to precast elements) together using starter bars or dowel bars. Once the elements are…

DOWEL BAR WITH DETAILS
Dowel bars: Dowels are short straight steel bars and also cogged bars, used to provide mechanical or structural connection between two precast elements or in-situ to precast elements. (Refer Fig.01) (Fig.01) Dowel bars Purpose of Dowel bars: Dowel bars used to maintain the horizontal and vertical alignments of slab and precast panel. (Ref Fig.02) Dowel…
