Field Construction Protocol
Engineered 8-Step Installation Methodology for Double-Truss Container Shelters
Rapid deployment methodology requiring zero on-site welding. Modular bolted connections reduce field erection schedules by up to 70% compared to conventional structural steel.
01
Topographical Survey & Grid Staking
Laser level and total station establish precise axial centerlines, column offsets, and elevation datums across the clear-span foundation grid.
02
Base Plate Anchoring & Torquing
Heavy cast-in base plates, chemical anchor studs (Grade 8.8), or helical earth anchors are drilled and torqued to specified kN pullout resistance.
03
Ground Truss Assembly & Lacing
Space-frame chord segments, web lacing members, and connection gusset plates are assembled and bolted flat on grade prior to hoisting.
04
Synchronized Crane Hoisting
Mobile cranes elevate paired structural truss arches into vertical position; temporary stabilizing guy wires maintain plumbness and stability.
05
Purlins, Struts & X-Cable Bracing
Longitudinal purlins, eaves struts, and pre-stretched galvanized X-bracing cables are torqued into place to form a rigid 3D spatial diaphragm.
06
Keder Membrane Track Tensioning
High-tenacity PVDF roof panels are pulled through integrated aluminum extrusion tracks and mechanically tensioned via ratchet catenary winches.
07
Endwalls, Megadoors & Flashings
Hard-wall panels, vertical-lifting Megadoors, motorized louvers, perimeter rainwater gutters, and architectural flashing trims are sealed.
08
FEA Pre-Stress Torque Audit & Signoff
Calibrated torque audit of all structural fasteners, ultrasonic weld verification, membrane pre-stress tensiometer inspection, and handover documentation.
