Standardize products and connections.
• Use standard hardware items and as few different sizes
as possible.
• Use repetitive details.
• Avoid reinforcement and hardware congestion.
• Check material and size availability.
• Avoid penetration of forms.
• Reduce post-stripping work.
• Be aware of material sizes and requirements.
• Consider clearances and tolerances of connection
materials.
• Avoid non-standard production and erection tolerances.
• Plan for the shortest possible hoist hook-up time.
• Provide accessibility while the component is being
placed.
• Use connections that are not susceptible to damage in
handling.
• Allow for adjustment after the product is unhooked
from the crane.
• Minimize weld heat buildup in the surrounding concrete
or allow for expansion.
• Determine if special inspection is required per the
applicable building code for the material and the welding
process.
