APG steel-balcony-900 S1 — draft method inputs, not an approved installation manual

1. Before fabrication: adopt project actions/jurisdiction, survey fascia and BOTH
end walls, approve load path/anchors/finish/tolerances and independently check.
2. Fabricate only against released CAD/drawings and qualified weld procedure;
retain vertical face strips, continuous rails, all crossings and flush interfaces.
Record material certificates, weld inspection and finish QA; check distortion/fit.
3. Before delivery: approve unit lifting, packing, access, temporary edge protection,
substrate acceptance and installation method. Nominal CAD mass is not a lifting plan.
4. Set out proposed floor datum, top level, actual fascia station coordinates and
both end wall connections; do not copy trial slab/edge assumptions as site facts.
5. Install selected anchors per approved design/manufacturer instructions, with
specified drilling/cleaning/embedment/cure/torque. No anchor choice is supplied here.
6. Hold point: record all connections, substrate/finish damage, line/level, gaps,
torque/cure and specified inspection/tests. Do not remove temporary protection or
bring into use until competent acceptance and handover evidence are complete.

Maintenance draft: retain traceable as-built records. Inspect for loose fixings,
cracked welds, corrosion, coating damage or impact/movement; arrange competent
assessment and isolate unsafe areas. Do not drill, splice or modify the guard.
Cleaning products, frequency, repair system, coastal/exposure precautions and
warranty conditions await selected coating evidence. No service life is promised.
