4. Methodology for Erection of stiffener angle with existing curb channel

Due to defect to existing curb channel by.
This section describes the method and sequence for the erection of stiffener angle with existing curb
channel and hence sequence for erection of deflector arrangement on the stiffener angle. The
sequences are as follows:

a. Erection of Scaffolding
Deflector plate location is with existing curb channel which is at top, therefore to reach at the
location we need to erect scaffolding around the tank.

b. Removal of existing deflector plate

In order to erect stiffener angle we need to remove all deflector plates. The removal of deflector
plate will be done after cutting each segment of deflector plates. The removed plates will be kept on
top of tank roof for further handling purpose.
c. Cutting of deflector plate cleat
Now after removal of deflector plate the space for stiffener angle of ISA 50 need to be clear,
therefore all cleats need to be removed. Precaution will be taken for cutting from curb channel
because the lap portion over curb channel will not be cut. 25mm spacer cleat will be grinded on shell
plate. Hence the cleats must be retained where it is welded with roof plates and ground welded
from the cut line with curb channel. The following figure illustrates the preceding statement:

Fig: Illustration of ground welding of all deflector cleat with curb channel.
The damaged curb channel must be kept untouched and retained as damaged because cut bu (to be
left as they are)

d. Erection of stiffener angle with existing curb channel

Stiffener angle of dimension ISA 50x50x6 will be used with existing curb channel. The following
illustration will describe the schematic arrangement. The length of stiffener angle must be 3m
minimum properly rolled in radius of 3050 mm minimum. Cleat will be used to hold stiffener angle
to arrest stiffener angle. Following figure illustrate the schematic arrangement of stiffener angle
with existing curb channel:

Fig: Illustration of ground welding of all deflector cleat with curb channel.
The location of stiffener angle will be kept offset with the vertical joints of curb channels and groove
will be cut from stiffener angle where it is coinciding with curb channel weldings. After fitup all
grooves will be ground welded.

e. Erection of Deflector cleats

New deflector cleat will be erected now on stiffener angle as shown in the following illustration

Deflector cleat must be clear from shell plate and do not touch with the same. No spacer plate will
be used in between deflector cleat and shell plate. No Welding /Hot work will be done on shell plate.

The removed deflector plates will now erected over deflector cleat and welded as fixed earlier. A
uniform gap must be there in between shell and deflector plates. No hot work or welding will be
done on shell plate.

5.

Painting
stiffener angle with existing curb channel and hence sequence for erection of
deflector arrangement on the stiffener angle must be sand blasted and primer
painted as per the specification at shop prior to reach at site. The touch up painting
will be done after completion of all works and pattern must be matched with the
existing pattern of tank.

6.

Quality Controls/Checks
The activities involved in the construction are much diversified and
therefore it is required to maintain all records and reports. The reports
and records must be retaining for future reference. Prior to
commencement of any work it is required to know the scope of work,
the method to execute and the safety measures to achieve the quality
and safety goal of the organization. Inspection and Test Plan should
come in existence to support the construction activities. This will
develop a culture of close supervision in construction activities, the
basic quality control measures are as:
i. SITP: Site inspection and test planning
ii. Field Observation reports
iii. Regular inspection and random inspection
iv. Conformity and non conformity as per the standard of construction
v. Recording of all inspections through approved formats
vi. Organizing job specific tool box to educate the workman engaged in
individual activities
