Convenant College site visit on the 28/05/05
Coen Pre-cast panels was erecting Panels for a gym at the school which they (CPP) let me watch and take photo's of.
The non structural Pre-Cast panels were cladding for the gym (portal frame), they were trucked in, hooked on using chains and a clutch type release and then craned into position. This type of crane was used(Franna 25T) becuase the panels did not require rotating or spinning to get them into position.
The crane then carried the panels to the desired position and lowered them onto positioning rods cast into the pad footings. The panel is bolted on using bolts which pass through cleats welded to the structural steel work.

Grout and small plastic packers are laid down underneath the panels to help get them level and to the right height.
Fine adjustment to the position of the Panel are made using a 'burke', which acts the same way as a large crow bar. Once the panel is correctly seated and level, its then bolted to the steel.
