AAC Vertical Wall Panels
Step 11 -
Attach Helifix driver to a rotary percussion drill or to a hammer drill as per manufacturer's instructions and load anchor.At corner, install "Helifix" anchors through the face of the side of one panel into the end of the panel that is in the perpendicular direction. Center the Helifix anchor so that it penetrates through the middle of the perpendicular panel. Install as noted on approved shop drawing.
Step 12 -
Repeat step 10 for subsequent panels.Make sure a tight joint is present between panels.
Use approved thin-bed mortar for vertical panel joints.
Brace walls as necessary. Minimum bracing should be every three (3) panels.
Step 13
Alternate type lifting gear installation instructions.
Always check lifting device using the calibration unit that is paired with the lifting device, before starting each day and after each break the crew takes.
Move the clamp to the end of the wall panel to be lifted.
Open the clamp sufficiently, depending on the thickness of the panel, by turning the hand wheel counter clockwise.
Rotate the clamp 90 degrees on the handle so that the jaws of the clamp may be placed in the center of the wall panel. Press the inner side of the clamp fully against the wall panel.
Apply pressure to the clamp by turning the hand wheel of the clamp clockwise until there is a click and the green windows are visible (do not turn any further).
Carefully hoist the wall panel up and maneuver it into the place where it is to be installed. When the wall panel has been positioned correctly, the clamp can be released by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise.
The vertical joint between each panel should be skimed and then scraped while waiting for the next panel.
