Main Points of Installation and Operation of Gutter in Steel Structure Workshop

 As a significant part of steel structure workshop building, gutter works as a waterproof tool to prevent water running inside the steel structure. Let’s follow the editor to find out the main points of installation and operation of gutter in steel structure workshop.

Currently commonly used gutter materials and scope of application

  • Material

At present, there are three commonly used gutter materials: steel gutter with 3~6mm thickness, stainless steel gutter with 0.8~1.2mm thickness, and color steel gutter with 0.6mm thickness.

  • Scope of Application

Steel gutters and stainless steel gutters can be applied to the majority of projects. Stainless steel gutters are commonly used in coastal areas and projects with strong corrosive gases. Color plate gutters are mainly used as external gutters for small project or project with small drainage volume.

Connection Method of Gutter

   1. Steel Gutter

Picture1 - steel gutter

  • A. installation conditions 

The following conditions must be met before installing the steel gutter: the main steel structure (beam, column) has been installed and adjusted, and all high-strength bolts have been completely tightened. For projects with parapet walls, the parapet columns and corresponding wall beams have been installed and adjusted. The steel gutter has been carried out. Electric welding machine and welders are in place.

  • B. installation 

According to the size and weight of the gutter, hoist or manually lift the gutter to the designated installation area after transporting the steel gutter in place, and connect the gutter by electric welding immediately. After all the materials for a gutter are delivered, pull a steel wire along the outside of the gutter to adjust the two sides of the gutter to the same straight line. Pay attention to minimize the gap between the gutter joints during adjusting, and fix them temporarily by electric welding, then fully welded the bottom horizontal weld and the straight welds on both sides with a 3.2mm electrode.

  • C. drain opening

The location of the gutter downfall is positioned according to the design requirements. Generally, the conventional downfall is opened on the side of the steel column or steel beam. Pay attention to the support position when opening the hole and try to avoid it to reduce the amount of downpipe accessories. When opening the hole, consider the installation method of the downpipe. It will be better to determine the fixing method of the downpipe hose clamp before proceeding, so as to shorten the material of the fixed hose clamp and reduce the cost. Holes can be made by gas cutting or angle grinders. It is strictly forbidden to make holes directly by electric welding. After the hole is opened, use an angle grinder to trim the shaft and the periphery, and then weld the steel pipe drain to the gutter. Pay attention to the welding quality during welding to prevent missing of welding. After welding, clean up the welding slag in time.

  • D. paint

After all the gutters are welded and passed the inspection, the welding slag in the welding place should be cleaned up again, and the paint in the welding area should be cleaned up with an iron brush, and then repaired with an anti-rust paint in same specification as the original paint. The gutter surface paint shall be applied before the roof panel construction according to the design requirements.

  2. Stainless Gutter

  1. a. The installation conditions and hole making requirements of stainless gutters are same as steel gutters’.
  2. b. The stainless steel gutter welding adopts argon arc welding, and the welding rod adopts the stainless steel wire with the same material of the gutter, and the diameter can be the same as the plate thickness. Before the formal welding, the welder should be organized to conduct trial welding, and batch welding can be started only after qualified. At the same time, it is best to appoint a special person to perform the welding, and arrange an assistant to work together to improve the main production efficiency. After the drain is welded, the area should also be properly smashed to facilitate drainage. Stainless steel welding rods must be cleaned up before being used.
  3. c. Since the stainless steel gutter is formed by hemming, then the dimensional deviation is inevitable. Therefore, the gutter should be fully inspected before being shipped, and the gap between the joints should be adjusted to the minimum. The gutters should be fixed by spot welding firstly.

     3.Color Steel Gutter

  1. a. The gutter installation can be carried out after the roof panel is installed, or it can be installed together with roof panel. The details can be flexibly determined according to the site conditions.
  2. b. The fixing of the color board gutter is divided into two parts, one is to connect the inner gutter and the roof with self-tapping nails or riveted by pulling rivets, and the other one is to connect the flange of the outer plate with rivets. The ditch brace is connected with rivets, the other side of brace is connected to the slab and purlin with the self-tapping nail that fixes the roof slab at the wave crest of the roof panel.
  3. c. The down pipe hole on the gutter can be made with a cutting machine directly, and the position should meet the design requirements. The drain and the bottom of the gutter are fixed with rivets according to the requirements of relevant standard.

Anti-corrosion and surface treatment of steel structure building

The  steel structure  has become the best building material at present, and  steel structure buildings  can be seen in many places. However, the surface of the steel structure must be protected against corrosion and surface treatment to ensure the quality and safety of the surface of the steel structure. Let's take a look at the anti-corrosion methods and surface treatment of  steel structure manufacturers . Steel structure corrosion protection method 1. Metal protective layer: The metal protective layer is a metal or alloy with cathode or anode protection. The metal protective layer is formed on the surface of the metal to be protected by electroplating, spray plating, chemical plating, hot plating and infiltration plating ( Membrane) to isolate the contact between the metal and the corrosive medium, or use electrochemical protection to protect the metal, thereby preventing corrosion. 2. Chemical protective layer: chemical or electrochemical methods are ...

Color steel plate and gutter installation of steel structure

In the construction of  steel structures , installation is also an important link. If you want to install well, you must pay attention to the method. Let's take a look together below. 1. After the  roof purlins  and wall beams are installed, the roof and wall  color steel plates  can be installed. Generally, the wall color steel plate is installed first, and then the roof color steel plate is installed to facilitate the connection of the cornice. The color steel plate is installed with a hidden connection and a self-tapping screw connection. The concealed connection fixes the color steel plate on the purlin through the bracket, and uses a biting machine to snap the adjacent color steel plates between the color steel plates in the transverse direction, or glues them with waterproof adhesive (this method is only applicable to the roof). The self-tapping screw connection is to directly fix the color steel plate on the roof purlin or wall beam by self-tapping screws...

Design Status and Optimization Countermeasures of Steel Structure Workshop

With the rapid development of the global economy,  steel structures  have played a pivotal role in the field of construction, playing an increasingly important role. Whether in industrial or civil buildings, steel structures are rapidly occupying more and more with their outstanding characteristics Wide market. Its characteristics are: its overall rigidity and seismic performance are good, the construction speed is fast, the self-weight is low, and the bearing capacity is high. It replaces the reinforced concrete structure in large-span and super high-rise buildings, but it also has the disadvantages of poor fire performance and easy corrosion. In order to better play the role of the steel structure in the design according to its characteristics, it is better to play the role of the steel structure, and now the steel structure plant design status and optimization countermeasures are analyzed. A. Overview of steel structure industrial plants 1 Advantages of  steel str...
