Any errors in the shop detail drawings or shop work shown by this assembly shall be immediately corrected. MEGATRO's proposal shall include the work required for these shop assemblies. Any material rejected by Owner for failure to conform with this specification or the Purchase Order shall be corrected or replaced by MEGATRO. The fact that material has been inspected, or Owner has waived the right to inspect any material, shall not prevent rejection of the material if it is found not to be in proper condition o r to have fabrication inaccuracies preventing proper assembly.
 
Design Calculations and Drawings
Our MEGATRO can perform complete design calculations, design drawings and shop detail drawings of each structure and submit checked calculations and drawings for Owner's review and distribution in the quantity, manner and time set forth in the Purchase Order. Our drawings consist of the following:
 
Design drawings showing structure dimensions, conductor clearance diagrams and schedule of member sizes, bolt sizes and material specifications.
 
Erection drawings showing each individual member with its identification  mark, location and position of outstanding leg of angles, with number, diameter and length of bolts for connection; and typical details to large scale where a number of members frame together.
 
Shop detail drawings showing all dimensions, draw for tension diagonals,  and all shearing punching, bevel cutting, grinding, bending and identification mark for each member.
 
A complete Bill of Material for each structure showing the number, kind, size, length, weight and identification mark for each member including all bolts.
(Remark: only PO confirmed, our MEGATRO can start shop drawings for client.)
 
Marking
All pieces shall be distinctively marked with erection marks clearly visible  after galvanizing, corresponding to those on the erection drawings. Steel tower  steel stamping dies, minimum 16 mm or 5/8" high, shall be used and special care shall be taken to see that all erection marks are  made  in  such  a  manner as not to be obliterated in transit, or in any way damage the galvanizing or impair the strength of the member.
 
In marking the members, each marking shall be prefixed by letters, which indicate the type of the steel tower. For members that are used in more than  one type of steel tower, all steel tower-type designations shall appear on the marking.
 
In addition, the members shall be marked with water -proof ink stencil 25 mm. or 1.0" high after galvanizing to facilitate in yarding the members and erecting the steel towers.
 
The diameter and the length of the bolt shall be marked on each bolt end so as to be visible after galvanizing.
 
An additional Contractor identification mark shall be stamped immediately in front of the piece identification marks. This Contractor identification mark  shall be submitted to Owner for acceptance and registration prior to first use.
 
Identification marks shall be located conspicuously to permit easy reading.   Marking of like pieces shall be identical in location, and pieces over 14 feet in length shall be marked at both ends.
 
Identification marks shall be applied as follows:
Before galvanizing stamp with 2.0mm deep, 15.0mm minimum height steel  die letters and numerals. After galvanizing neatly stencil a 6.0mm wide  straight line, to underline the identification marks, made with durable paint or ink that will adhere to the galvanized surface and remain legible.
 
All small items that are not adaptable to die marking and are not boxed shall be identified by either attaching die stamped steel tags or plastic tags with permanent markings. The tags shall be attached with non-corrosive wire.
