A. Professional Engineer Qualifications: A professional engineer who is legally qualified to

practice in jurisdiction where Project is located and who is experienced in providing
engineering services of the kind indicated. Engineering services are defined as those performed
for installations of handrails and railings that are similar to those indicated for this Project in
material, design, and extent.

B. Testing Agency Qualifications: An independent testing agency with the experience and
capability to conduct the testing indicated, as documented according to ASTM E 548.

1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Field Measurements: Verify handrail and railing dimensions by field measurements before
fabrication and indicate measurements on Shop Drawings. Coordinate fabrication schedule
with construction progress to avoid delaying the Work.

1. Established Dimensions: Where field measurements cannot be made without delaying

the Work, establish dimensions and proceed with fabricating handrails and railings
without field measurements. Coordinate construction to ensure that actual dimensions
correspond to established dimensions.

1.8 COORDINATION

A. Coordinate installation of anchorages for handrails and railings. Furnish setting drawings,
templates, and directions for installing anchorages, including sleeves, concrete inserts, anchor
bolts, and items with integral anchors, that are to be embedded in concrete or masonry. Deliver
such items to Project site in time for installation.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 METALS

A. General: Provide metal free from pitting, seam marks, roller marks, stains, discolorations, and
other imperfections where exposed to view on finished units.

B. Steel and Iron: Provide steel and iron in the form indicated, complying with the following
requirements:

1. Steel Pipe: ASTM A 53; finish, type, and weight class as follows:

a. Black finish, unless otherwise indicated.

b. Type F, or Type S, Grade A, standard weight (Schedule 40), unless another grade
and weight are required by structural loads.

2. Steel Tubing: Cold-formed steel tubing, ASTM A 500, Grade A, unless another grade is
required by structural loads.
3. Steel Plates, Shapes, and Bars: ASTM A 36/A 36M.

2.2 ITEMS

A. ACCESS LADDERS AND COOLING TOWERS LADDERS: to BS 4211, mild steel with
galvanized factory finish, consisting of flat bar stringers and round single bar rungs, with
handrails and safety hoops, as shown on the Drawings, welded or riveted and bolted together
and supplied complete with accessories and fixings. Field finishing is to be as indicated on
Drawings.

B. WATER TANKS LADDERS: are to be fixed-type ladders for water tanks of style as indicated
on Drawings and constructed of stainless steel alloy 316 S 16, pressure welded construction
comprising pipe side handrails, of a minimum diameter of 45 mm, and non-slip steps made of
ABS-coated stainless steel fixed in between side handrails at vertical intervals not exceeding

transport and handling limitations; clearly mark units for re-assembly and co-ordinate
installation and use concealed connectors that provide hairline jointing and maintain structural
value of jointed pieces. For changes in directions by inserting prefabricated flush-elbow clings.
Where welded connections are .used, weld continuously with material that develop strength and
cohesion resistance of welded components, obtain fusion without under cut or overlap, remove
flux immediately and finish surfaces smooth and blended so that no roughness shows after
