Place the parts around the foundation so they will be in the most convenient locations for
installation . For example: place the end columns and rafters at the ends of the building and the
mainframe columns and rafters at the sides .
Place the bolts and nuts in a place where they will be accessible to the parts . You may want to
screw the bolts and nuts together and place them with the corresponding parts . This will save time
as you begin assembling the parts .
Purlins and girts, depending on the number of bundles, are usually stored near the sidewalls clear
of other packages or parts .
Sheet packages are usually located along one or both sidewalls off the ground and sloping to one
end to encourage drainage in case of rain .
Accessories are usually unloaded on a corner of the slab or off the slab near one end of the building
to keep them as much out of the way as possible from the active area during steel erection .
noTe: When filing claims either with the carrier or Mueller, Inc.,
the claim should indicate the item(s) in question:
• The bundle or container in question (if any)
• The actual quantity received.
• The quantity which should have been received or that
which was damaged.
This is important for quickly retrieving the necessary information.
also, the other information such as numbers, names and addresses should be
indicated on claims as well as invoice numbers.
These procedures are primarily for your protection, a shortage discovered
later can be caused by theft, misplacement or other causes
and neither the carrier or Mueller can accept responsibility.
