8. Assembly on steel structures
Work steps:
1. When assembly-related activities are being carried out the applicable provisions and sets of rules
associated with the protection of the health and safety of employees should be complied with.
2. An assembly drawing containing the data required for proper assembly should be created for the
respective assembly site of the anchorage point. Special mounting operations for the anchorage point are
to be agreed upon with the manufacturer.
3. The AP-Fix anchorage point can be mounted vis-à-vis horizontal, vertical and inclined steel structures.
4. The assembly operation may only be carried out by qualified assemblers who have, if necessary, been
trained by the manufacturer.
5. Only the fastening material delivered by the manufacturer should be used.
6. Before the assembly operation is initiated the assembler should check whether the assembly site of the
anchorage point is in line with the assembly drawing and the data in the instruction manual. If the
assembler detects discrepancies the assembly operation should not be carried out. In such a case, a
qualified technician should be contacted along with the manufacturer.
7. A suitable drilling machine and borer should be used to drill a hole (Ø 17 mm) into the steel structure. The
wall of the hole should be protected against corrosion (e.g. zinc powder paint).
8. The anchorage point is inserted into the bore hole along with the identification plate (fig. 13).
9. The identification plate should be legible.
10. The M 16 washer is pushed onto the threaded rod (fig. 14)
11. As shown in fig. 15, the M 16 SSI nut is twisted vis-à-vis the threaded rod. A torque wrench with an
extension (Size 24) is used to tighten it in conjunction with a fastening torque of 80 Nm, until the
anchorage point is firmly anchored in the steel structure (fig. 16). The anchorage point is hereby held up
using a suitable tool such as a taper punch.
Please note:
Before the system is activated as per § 14 of the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health a qualified
person should check the installation and use the acceptance protocol to carry out the respective
documentation tasks. The pre-activation inspection does not serve to prove that the respective structure
can withstand the forces that emerge in case of a crash. Its sole purpose is to check whether the
anchorage point is firmly embedded in the installation subsurface.
