CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE (METHODOLOGY):  

Storage of Material at site.

Information Prior To Site Storage - Door Leaves and Frames are fabricated and Factory Powder Coated to the main contractor Approved Color and does not require any further coating/touch-ups at the site, unless being damaged at/after the receipt of materials (Repair works procedure). Hence, utmost care is to be taken in retaining the color and the evenness of coating, at all the stages throughout the lifecycle of the materials.

The Materials are arranged in a Container/Truck in such a way that Door Leaves are wrapped with a Stretch-Wrap and are stacked on a Pallet and Door Frames are wrapped  with Bubble Wraps and are arranged individually and freely. Unloading of material from the  truck can be done by either manual unloading or using forklift.    

Let the Area of Storage be ready before the receipt of the material so that the materials can be shifted to the Storage Area without being stationed in temporary exposed areas since the latter may attract serious damages to the materials.

Additional Care required during Storage - In-addition to the above, the following cares are to be taken while storing the materials on the Construction Site.

When grouping of materials are done, not more than 5 Door Leaves (or) Welded/Assembled Frames are to be stored in a group. Frames that are used for multi-opening frames, shall be stored in not more than groups of three, since a group of more may cause serious damage to the bottom most frame.

All Welded (or) Assembled frames shall be stored as shown in below picture:



During Storage apart from the other natural elements, the Door Leaves are to be prevented from getting direct deposit of dusts and sand, to avoid the formation of scratches on the topcoat.

Additionally, in-case the materials are to be wiped, the materials should only be wiped with damp soft cloth [which is to be rinsed well to remove the dirt deposited on it time to time] followed by extensive exposure to dust-free and moisture-free air.

Site Installation Procedure:  

Pick the required door & Frame from Site Store.

All materials use for installation will be collected and delivery at site with the delivery note. 

Vehicle should travel in designated access area after obtaining necessary permission from the security and it should be fixed with evolving flashlight on it. Vehicle to be parked in the designated parking/unloading and storage area, it should be covered properly. Storage facilities will be provided.

Unloading of the material should be with the help of forklift/boom loader truck.

MIR to be raised immediately after material delivery and before starting the installation.

Shifting of Material to the designated door location.

As per the opening number, installer team will segregate the doors and frame to the designated location. Installation team will shift the materials to the site through earmarked pedestrian access/egress. The crossing shall be in only designated crossing point.

Frame and door leaf shifting can be done by two (2) technicians in every designated area.

Shifting of each material will be according to safety regulation and safety plan.

Frame Installation.

Final Alignment.

After installation, Installation Team will check the proper door swinging and locking. 

Fire Rated Sealant application.

Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, sound and frost free. Clean all joints thoroughly to ensure that adhesion of the silicone to substrate is not impaired.

It may be necessary to mask adjacent areas to prevent contamination and to ensure a neat sealant line. Masking tapes should be immediately removed after tooling and finishing.

Install backing materials as required and fill cavity with acrylic.

Joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure a good contact between the acrylic and substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth and professional finish.

Dispose of spent cartridges in accordance with local regulations.

Repair works (paint touch-up).

Shall be done as per project specification Below procedure to be followed:      

Sand the damaged area: Use sandpaper to remove any existing rust or paint from the damaged area. The area should be sanded until it is smooth to the touch and no lip is felt between the metal and the paint.

Fill the damaged area: Use a putty knife to fill the damaged area with BONDO putty filler.

Smooth out the putty so it blends evenly with the surrounding parts of the door.

Sand the patch: With the patch nice and dry, use a very fine-grit sandpaper to lightly sand the patch smooth. Wipe away the resulting fine dust with a cloth before applying the paint.

Paint the patch (with same approved color): When painting the patch, you can use either the brush-on approach or a spray-on approach. Apply a very light coat of spray paint, allow it to fully dry and then apply another very light coat. Continue applying light coats until the patch is no longer noticeable and the door looks finished. Applying several very light coats of spray paint reduces messy paint runs and provides a nice even finish on the surface of door.
