cladding/floor slab etc. prior to commencement of work

5.5 Submit material inspection request of materials delivered to site.

5.6 Attach delivery receipt of materials and complete description to show the compliance of material
s according to approved technical submittals.

5.7 If materials are not being used immediately, manufacturer’s recommended storage procedure
shall be followed to protect materials from damage.

5.8 Wherever trays are going along the overhead pipes separate supports are used as the tray
supports.

5.9 Wherever pipe racks are not there the overhead tray / Trunking layout is supported by the C
channels fixed in Tie rods anchor fastened to the ceiling or welded to the Flush plate, I beam as
per the approved shop drawing.

5.10 Supports must be located so that splice joints between horizontal runs fall between the support
point and the quarter point of the span.
