Abstract

Claims (20)

1 . A method for resistant assembly of grease and prestressed plastic coated tendons, comprising:

after executing a contract ( 1 . 1 ), a client (work) sends to a construction company a most up-to-date version of structural prestressing designs for massive slabs ( 1 . 2 ) and files the structural prestressing designs in a work folder ( 1 . 3 ) to start a work plan ( 2 );

executing the work plan ( 2 ) as soon as the work plan arrives in an engineering department, the execution of the work plan beginning by a calculating engineer confirming a project version ( 2 . 1 );

if a version of a project is not a most up-to-date version, the calculating engineer sending a new project version to the construction company, if the project version is a most up to date version, the work plan starts with execution of a cutting spreadsheet ( 2 . 2 ), where a person in charge extracts from project version information of a number of tendons per axis and a length of the tendons, in parallel with creation of a cutting sheet, a survey is carried out ( 2 . 3 ) of an amount of resistant supports for solid slabs that will be necessary for assembly of each floor of a building, after the support survey is carried out, the work plan is drawn up where a person in charge separates the project into modules ( 2 . 5 ), wherein each module contains an exact number of resistant supports for the execution of that part of the project, after carrying out the survey of the number of resistant supports, a number of active or passive accessories necessary for execution of a floor is calculated ( 2 . 4 ), once the survey of accessories and supports is completed, the engineering department generates a material separation order for a factory ( 2 . 6 ), containing all information for those responsible to separate materials for each floor that will be sent to a work site;

creating a summary for production ( 3 ): through the project, information is extracted from the cutting spreadsheet comprising a quantity and length of tendons, survey of resistant supports per module and the material separation order comprising at least anchoring and wedges ( 3 . 1 ), the information is passed on to respective parts of a factory for the production of all material ( 3 . 2 );

producing resistant supports according to a summary ( 4 ): in possession of summaries issued by the engineering department, respective parts of the factory start producing materials necessary for execution of the floors in the work plan ( 4 . 1 and 4 . 2 );

sending the resistant supports for dispatch ( 5 ): once all the materials have been produced by the respective parts of the factory, a logistics department is activated and the materials are separated and checked to be sent to the work site ( 5 . 1 and 5 . 2 );

storing the supports inside a modular box ( 6 ): after separating the resistant supports, a responsible employee checks quantity and size of the supports and assembles then, as stipulated in the work plan, modules and sub-modules of the box, allocating each support in its proper place ( 6 . 1 and 6 . 2 );

sending to the work site ( 7 ): with all the materials checked and packed, the logistics department prepares invoices and a transport packing list to be sent to the work site ( 7 . 1 and 7 . 2 );

storing the modular box on the work site ( 8 ): after the assembled modular box leaves a warehouse, the modular box is received by a person in charge of the work upon arriving at the work site ( 8 . 1 ), the person in charge of the work checks the materials received and stores the checked materials in an appropriate place ( 8 . 2 );

sending the work plan to the person in charge of the work ( 9 ): following all steps and with all checklists checked, a regional manager sends the work plan to the person in charge of the work through a contact e-mail work carried out by the engineering department ( 9 . 1 and 9 . 2 );

executing of the work plan: executing the work plan comprising the following actions:

i. Upon arriving at the work site, a person in charge of the client checks with the person in charge of the work if pavement is already ready to be assembled ( 10 . 1 ), if the pavement is ready to be assembled, the person in charge of the work checks the sent project with the pavement that will be assembled ( 10 . 2 . a ; 10 . 2 . b and 10 . 2 . c );

ii. If the work has crane for heavy vertical transport, then transport a complete set of accessories and supports ( 10 . 3 . a ); if the vertical transport equipment is a winch, transport the complete individual modules ( 10 . 3 . b ); if there is no equipment for vertical movement, transport only sub-modules ( 10 . 3 . c );

iii. Carry out demarcation of a first solid slab with marker pens, as ordered by the work plan ( 10 . 4 );

iv. Fix prestressing accessories to a side panel as indicated in the work plan ( 10 . 5 );

v. After checking the demarcation, carry out assembly assistance by positioning the resistant supports for solid slabs of each module in their respective location, according to the work plan ( 10 . 6 );

vi. With all the resistant supports for solid slabs in their respective places, fix the resistant supports to positive reinforcement of the solid slabs, as indicated in the work plan ( 10 . 7 );

vii. When all the resistant supports are fixed, the greased ropes are positioned on the resistant supports ( 10 . 8 ) and tying the greased ropes to the resistant supports with annealed wire over the resistant supports ( 10 . 9 );

viii. As soon as the step vii is finished, a general supervisor or a unit manager checks assembly and, as necessary, corrects errors or approves the first solid slab for a next step ( 10 . 10 ).
