• Bolted connection is
normally used for connecting
structural steel WHEN:
– The steel members has to be
disassembled for the purpose
of maintenance service (e.g:
Crane rails) or potential
relocation (e.g: High tension
cable towers).
– The project duration is limited
and speedy on-site
construction is required.

• Levelling is essential to

• Plumbing is a technical
procedure performed in the
construction of steel
structure to ensure
verticality of steel columns.
• The verticality check of steel
columns is performed by
comparing the line of the
neutral axis of a steel
column against a standard
reference vertical line.
