During the time of building construction, there are certain structures which are created to aid the proposed structure. Even though given the temporary nature of these structure, the requirement for its safety level is high. But it suffice to say that these structures should follow certain rules and regulations for meeting their temporary requirement.
National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is a national nonprofit organization which develops, administers and scores the NCEES FE Exam and NCEES PE Exam for professional licensure for engineers and surveyors. A Professional Civil Engineer having passed this exam is aware of standards and codes for constructing a safe temporary structure within budget. A professional engineer ensures the following steps are followed in the building of these temporary structures.
Listing all the needed temporary structures: Find out the various temporary structures that would be required to assist for constructing the proposed structure according to the approved plans.
Define the purpose of the structures: Be clear about the need for these structures and their presence justify the construction needs.
Designing the temporary structures: Design the temporary structure for safe load carrying capacity within the budget. Some of these structures don’t come under project lump sum cost and they are to be managed by the construction company.
Clearly list the required accessories for temporary structures: Have a clear list of the various materials that would be used for constructing temporary structures in order to support the project for early completion.
Temporary structure should be integrated with the building dimensions: Design the temporary structure in such a way that they aid in the building process.
Structural design approved by the professional engineer: Structural design of the temporary structure must be approved by the professional engineer before beginning to build it.
Structures meet OSHA regulation and project specifications: Make sure to build a temporary structure that should satisfy OSHA Regulations and project specifications.
Dismantle temporary structures after successful project completion: It is usually the construction company’s responsibility to dismantle any temporary structures build for aiding the proposed project.
In Conclusion: It could be said that the temporary structures play a vital role in creating complex construction projects. A Professional Civil Engineer must be able to design safe and economical temporary structures to support the project construction. NCEES Exam test the design skills of a professional civil engineer related to the temporary structures.
