special structure will adopt the vertical trial assembling methods (Such as top of the
tower).

8.1.1 During trial assembling, it should be connected smoothly and the controlling
sizes are correct. Forbid to assemble by force.

8.1.2 During trial assembling, all the quantity of holes, diameter of holes and material
size in the joints should be checked as per the drawings.

8.1.3 The ground used for trial assembling should be smooth. There isn’t obstacle
around ground and in the upper air. If there are difficulties, it should report in time,
and then provide the correct treatment after thorough investigation, forbid to assemble
by force. Trial assembling staff should use the bolts according to the drawings. If
there are two or more than two diameters for the coordinating holes, should report and
solve it, forbid to use the small diameter bolts for the big holes.

8.1.4 During trial assembling, each piece should be assembled according to the
Construction drawings. If there is any maladjustment, should find out the reason,
forbid to assemble by force. The bolts quantity which used for assembling should
more than 75% of design quantity, at least 3 bolts. All the bolts should be fixed. The
bolts used for trial assembling can be Grade 4.8.

8.1.5 It should consider the direction to wear the bolts when decide to deal with the
structure problems. For the horizontal and declining bolts should be (according to
situation after tower erection) wore inside out, and for the vertical bolts should be
wore top-to-bottom.

8.1.6 The bolts in the important joint should be screw up. The screw should be
perpendicular to the surface of elements. The outside thread should be more than 2
rings.

8.1.7 There isn’t any collision between elements and elements, elements and bolts.
The gap between them should be more than 5mm.

8.1.8 There should be inspection record and recheck records which are confirmed and
signed. After all the problem being solved, it can enter into the welding and
galvanization process.

ZSST Technical specification for steel tube tower

8.1.9 During trial assembling must pay attention to safety. Before working,
responsible person should preach the content of safe operation. It should use the 25T
crane to assemble the top section. The 50T crane will be used for assembling the body
section and leg section. Before dismantling bolts, should use the crane to lift the
elements at first to avoid the elements falling and injuring. There should be clear
marks in the ground and not allow non-staff enter into. Forbid to get out of line.
During working, should note the stance to avoid Accident injury. Guardian is
responsible for monitoring the implementation

8.1.10 According to the assembly for detailed location should provide detailed test
assembly plan separately.

Chapter 11 Package and Delivery Procedure

11.1 It should avoid falling and colliding during the semi-finished products (including
the pieces) are lifted in the workshops and shoveled in the factory, to ensure the safety
of transit and right size of welding pieces.

11.2 The external thread parts and flanges should be packed up by gunny, to avoid
being colliding the thread parts and flanges. During transporting, loading and
unloading them, it should avoid be distorted and ensure the bolts, washers and
accessories form a complete set.

11.3 It should use the appropriate lifting method to avoid colliding the steel tube and
members to impact the quality when the pieces are loaded and unloaded. During the
transportation, the projecting parts of steel tube towers should be fixed properly to
avoid distortion; between the galvanized pieces should use the wood block to separate
them, and fix tightly to avoid sliding and destroying the galvanization coating. It
should use the packaging of Adequate strength to ensure the packages not be
separated and the galvanization not be destroyed during the short transit, storage of
products, loading and unloading.

ZSST Technical Specification for Steel Tube Tower

11.4 When loading, depending on the requirements of technical connection and

inventory of manufactured goods, components must be correspondence with the
inventory of Stamping. Stamp of steel tube tower components include tower-type and
parts numbers which are arranged in neat rows without font crippled and stamping
depth is between 0.5 ~ 1.0mm correspondence to the steel thickness. Welding parts
should be sure not to be covered and distinguished stamp; in order to easy to
identification, it should mark our company mark or obvious distinguished stamp
beside the stamping.

11.5 Packaging should be marked with our company name and the project’s name,
variety, quantity, weight, destination and other necessary information in order to avoid
loss of product or possibility of error packaging.

11.6 For transporting large size and overweight components of the Ultra High tower,
it need be transported by transportation company which is professional and has
extensive experience in large cargo transportation. Zhejiang Shengda steel tower
company relies on its sister company (Zhejiaang Suda large cargo transportation
company) which supplies sufficient availability and the all tonnage of cranes and
transport vehicles, transport equipment resources are adequate. Zhejiang Suda large
cargo transportation company has extensive experience in transporting large
equipment and has outstanding performances, which has been transporting our
company’s steel tube tower especially in last year they excellent completed the
transportation the tower material of 370 meters high tower in Zhoushan networking
project.

11.7 To ensure the size of containers as per the outline size of pieces. Generally, the
total weight of each container will be around 23 tons. According to the length of
pieces to loading container reasonably, besides use the wood block to separate pieces
and fix tightly to avoid sliding and destroying the galvanization coating
