1. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this method statement is to install and erect light weight steel trusses for
selected building. (Pembinaan Sekolah Baharu 30 Bilik Darjah dan Lain-lain Kemudahan
Di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Permai, Kemaman, Terengganu)
2. SCOPE
The scope of work mentioned shall be applied to installation and erection of light weight
steel trusses for each buildinh as per project specification and drawings.
3. RESOURCE PLANNING
3.1 Machineries / Tools / Equipment
Item Description
1 Electric cutter
2 Hand tools
3 Mobile Crane
4 Lifting Belt
3.2 Manpower
Item Description
1 Site Engineer
2 Site Supervisor
3 Skill workers
4 General workers
5 Lifting Supervisor
4. PREPARATORY WORKS
4.1 Exercise care to avoid damage during unloading and storing.
4.2 If trusses will be stored on the site for an extended period of the time before use,
adequate provision should be made to protect trusses against the effects of the
weather. Protect trusses and accessories from corrosion, deformation and damage
while stored at site.
4.3 When lifting trusses, care must be taken to avoid any damage of truss members
and joints.
4.4 In general, lifting trusses is depending on its length and shape. Sling truss from
the top chord and sling should locate at equal distance from the truss centerline.
5. WORK METHODOLOGY
5.1 Fabrication.
i. Site measurement should be done prior to fabrication.
ii. All trusses will produce by using same material.
iii. All the joints are connected with self-drilling screws. Truss members are
fastened by electrical drill without any pre punched holes in order to ensure
good quality of finish trusses.
iv. The screws are self-drilling, self-locking and coated to resists rust and
corrosion.
v. Connection shall comply with BS 5950 : Part 5 : 1987.
 Sizes of the screws, diameter, d : should be 3mm<d<8mm.
 In load carrying connections, at least 3 Nos. of fasteners should be
used.
 The distance between centers of fasteners should be not less than 3d.
 The distance from the center of the fasteners to the edge should be not
less than 3d. If the connection is subjected to force in one direction only
which is such as to cause shear of the fasteners, the minimum edge
 distance may be reduced to 1.5d or 10mm, whichever is smaller, in a
direction normal to the force.
5.2 Installation.
i. Erection of trusses, including proper handling, safety precaution,
temporary, bracing and other safeguards or procedures are the
responsibility of the contractor or contractor’s installer..
ii. Truss design assumes the supporting structure can resists the horizontal and
vertical load.
iii. Exercise cares and provides erection bracing required to prevent toppling
or domino’s effect of trusses during erection.
iv. Erect trusses with plane of truss webs vertical and parallel to each other’s,
locate at design spacing as indicated in the construction design documents.
v. Trusses shall be anchored by L shape steel plate at the specify location. L
shape steel plate should be attached to the reinforced concrete beam by
expansion bolt.
vi. Purlin/batten should attach to the trusses according to the spacing provided.
vii. Trusses should be placed in accordance with the truss layout plan. No
amendment is allowed without the notification of the Design Engineer.
viii. Building Material like bricks, concrete tiles etc should not under any
circumstances be stacked on the trusses.
ix. Installer should strictly follow the instruction, roof truss layout plan and
shop drawings given by Design Engineer.
x. Provide proper lifting equipment suited to sizes and types of trusses
required, applied at lift point recommended by truss fabricator. Exercise
care to avoid damage to truss members during erection and keep horizontal
bending of the truss to minimum.
xi. Erection Tolerances : Space individual trusses no more than plus or minus
4 inch or 100mm from plan location.
xii. Bracing is to apply sufficient to the plane of the truss to hold every truss
member in the position.
xiii. Temporary bracing is used during erection to hold the trusses until
permanent bracing, sheathing and ceiling are in place.
xiv. Permanent bracing shall comply with AS 4440-1997 section 4-bracing.

xv. Erections of trusses, including proper handling, safety precaution,
temporary bracing and other safeguards or procedures are the responsibility
of the contractor or contractor’s installer
6. SAFETY PRECAUTION
6.1 The working area will be demarcated using barricade tape and signage.
6.2 The following personal protection equipment (PPE) and / or safety & health
related equipment are deemed the minimum protection gear required for the
carrying out the work:-
i. Safety Helmet
ii. Face Shield High Impact.
iii. Respirator (dust protector)
iv. Safety Boots / Appropriate Shoes
v. Glove
vi. Ear Muffs
vii. Safety Google
6.3 Task Supervisor to ensure safety requirement are complied.
6.4 Standby man will be providing all the time during pile cutting activity.
6.5 During cutting activity, spraying of water will be applied to prevent a dust.
6.6 Cutting operation must be done by competent pile cutter to avoid any injury.
7. RECORD
7.1 In order to ensure the quality of fabrication and installation of trusses meet the
requirement, inspection and test shall be carried out as per the Project Quality
Plan (PQP).
 Material Receiving Inspection
 Request For Inspection (RFI) attached with Checklist
 Inspection and test report
