TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This specification outlines the scope of structural design for the new billboard structures and
defines the required standards for the project.
The project is the design and construction of two “Spectacular” Billboards to be constructed
adjacent to the M7 motorway. Details of the proposed billboards is are shown on the attached
drawings by OPUS.
Drawings Numbers SY T-12286.00 01
SY T-12286.00 02
The works required for this project and as detailed on the drawings and specified within this
document comprise of the following.
• Certification and test certificates where relevant for ladsafe cables and other height safety
systems.
• Production of as built drawings at the end of the project.
The contractor should allow for attendance by both structural and electrical design representatives.
The contractor shall, prior to submitting the tender for the project, complete a site visit of the site
to fully understand the scope of works and all conditions and restrictions of the site and the
installation.
The structural design shall be completed in accordance with the current version of the following
relevant Standards
Design of all ladders, handrails, gantries, fall arrest systems and height access provisions are to
comply with relevant Australian standards and Workcover requirements.
2.3 DURABILITY
The structural steel is to be protected from the environment using a paint system designed to
achieve a maintenance free period of at least 15 years. The structural details are to be developed to
avoid ponding or water traps which could lead to increased corrosion risk -refer to AS/NZS 2312.
Where dissimilar metals are used the designer is to ensure that there is no increased corrosion risk.
If necessary, the method of isolating the metals is to be detailed on the structural drawings.
2.5 FATIGUE
The design of the steel structure and in particular the welds shall take into account the anticipated
loading cycles and comply with Section 11 of AS4100. The minimum load cycles for fatigue
design shall be taken as:
• Site wind speed for fatigue loading = 16m/s
• No. Of cycles = 100,000 cycles per year.
3.0 DOCUMENTATION
The contractor shall provide design drawings for review by the project manager prior to
fabrication of any structural members. The drawings must detail:
The contractors engineer is to carry out regular workshop and site inspections to confirm that
the construction complies with the design drawings. As a minimum the contractors engineer is
to inspect and provide certification for the following:
As built drawings shall be completed at the end of the project and shall specifically include
the following as a minimum:
