The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Safety Informa on

Safety nota ons used in this publica ons: 1. DANGER ‐ Indicates immediate hazard that will result

in severe personal injury, death or property damage. 2. WARNING ‐ Indicates immediate hazard that could

result in severe personal injury, death or property damage.

3. CAUTION ‐ Indicates a hazard or unsafe prac ce that could result in minor personal injury or property damage.

Tilt Li Equipment products are intended for use by trained, qualified and experienced personnel only. Misuse or lack of supervision and inspec on can contribute to serious accidents or death. Any applica on other than those shown in this Handbook should be carefully field tested before use. The user of Tilt Li Equipment products must evaluate the product applica on, determine the correct working loads and control all field condi ons to prevent applica ons of loads in excess of the Working Load Limit. Safety factors as shown are approximate. Working Load Limits must never be exceeded.

Shop or Field Welding Welding of lt‐up accessories can be hazardous. Knowledge of materials, heat treatment and welding procedures is necessary for proper welding. Consult your local welding supply dealer for assistance in determining the required welding procedures. DO NOT WELD TO ANY CASTING unless approved by a qualified metallurgical engineer. Welding to iron cas ngs causes carbides and extreme bri leness near the weld point and destroys most of the cas ng's load value. Since we cannot control either the workmanship or condi ons under which this work is done, Tilt Li Equipment cannot be responsible for any product altered in the field by

Interchangeability Many of the products that Tilt Li Equipment manufactures and supplies are designed as a system for li ing and bracing of lt‐up panels. Tilt Li Equipment cannot be certain that the components from systems supplied by other manufacturers are

completely interchangeable with components supplied by Tilt Li Equipment. Used properly and in accordance with our Handbook instruc ons, Tilt Li Equipment products have proven to be among the best designed and safest in the industry. Used improperly, or with components supplied by other manufacturers, the li ing or bracing system may be rendered unsafe. NEVER MIX COMPONENTS from different WLL‐rated systems unless specified by Tilt Li Equipment. Tilt Li Equipment reserves the right to alter product designs, dimensions and Working Load Limits at any me.

Worn Working Parts For safety, lt‐up accessories must be properly used and maintained. The li ing hardware units shown in this handbook may be subject to wear, overloading, corrosion, deforma on, inten onal altera on and other factors which may affect the hardware's Working Load Limit. All hardware units must be inspected regularly by the user to determine if they may be used at the rated Working Load Limit or removed from service. The frequency of inspec on depends upon factors such as frequency of use, period of use and environment. It shall be the responsibility of the user to set up a schedule to inspect li ing hardware units for wear and to discard the parts when excessive wear is noted.

Falling panels, bracing or hardware can cause severe injury or death.

Read, understand and follow the information and instructions in this Handbook before using any Tilt Lift Equipment accessory.

Number of Inserts To simplify calcula ons, inserts for lt–up panels may be selected according to the following criteria: Face Li ing: Panel weight with suc on forces added, divided by number of inserts must not exceed the inserts’ Working Load Limit shown in this manual. Edge Li ing: 65% of panel weight mul plied by the suc on coefficient divided by the number of inserts must not exceed the edge li ers’ shear Working Load Limit. Also panel weight divided by the number of inserts must not exceed the Working Load Limit of the insert. Impact Loading: Typically the impact loading of a panel is 20% higher then the panel’s dead weight. Note that the impact loading may be significantly higher if the panel is to be “walked” to its posi on. Engineers should take this into account when designing the li for a panel like this. Suc on Load: AS3850 states that a MINIMUM suc on load of 50% should be used when li ing off from a concrete cas ng bed. Note: The impact and suc on loads are not cumula ve. Usually, more than the above considera ons are required in order to not to overstress the panel.

General & Technical Informa on

Engineering Services Many of the products used for successful construc on with precast concrete require competent engineering input for each specific applica on and project. The Na onal Code of Prac ce for Precast, Tilt‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construc on and current Workplace Health & Safety legisla on places significant safety‐based obliga ons on designers, manufacturers, suppliers and installers of precast concrete and accessory products. Addi onal engineering guidance and requirements are detailed in AS3850. Tilt Li Equipment employs Professional Engineers to do engineering and provide engineering service to customers, par cularly with regard to safe li ing and bracing of precast and lt‐up elements.

Safety Factors Tilt Li Equipment recommends the following minimum safety factors iden fied by AS3850. Tilt‐up construc on may require addi onal safety considera ons. Many field condi ons may warrant higher safety factors, eg. adhesion of the panel to the cas ng surface, jerking the crane during li , inadequate crane size, improper handling of an erected panel, transpor ng an erected panel over rough surfaces, exceeding boom capacity, etc. The minimum safety factors listed below should be adjusted accordingly when any of the above condi ons are known to exist. Tilt‐Up Wall Braces 2 to 1 Cast‐in Brace Anchors 2.5 to 1 Li ing Inserts 2.5 to 1 Reusable Li ing Hardware 5 to 1 If a higher factor of safety to the one shown is required for any reason then the allowable working load must be changed accordingly by the user. The following equa on can be used the alter the allowable working load. The Working Load Limit published in this handbook should never be exceeded.

Safety Notes and Product Applica on: All Working Load Limits shown in this publica on were established with the following factors considered: 1. All products are in new or "as new" condi on. The Working Load Limit is considered the greatest load that will be applied to a product. 2. Inserts are correctly embedded in sound concrete and are firmly bolted or wired in place so that the ver cal axis of the inserts is perpendicular to the li ing surface. 3. Concrete compressive strength (fcm) at me of ini al li is at least the strength listed in the insert selec on chart for the insert being used. 4. Bolted hardware has full bearing on the concrete surface, and a achment bolts bear fully on the hardware. 5. Cau on must be taken so that the hardware is not subjected to a side loading that will cause an addi onal, unintended loading.

6. Erec on and a achment bolts are the proper length and are well ghtened to prevent hardware slippage and bolt bending. 7. Coil bolts have minimum coil penetra on through the insert coil, but are not bearing on concrete at the bo om of the void. 8. Inserts are properly located in rela on to edges, corners and openings, and are at distances that permit the development of a full shear cone. Minimum edge distances are noted throughout this publica on. 9. No field welding to the li ing inserts or li ing hardware has taken place. Welding may cause bri leness and result in premature failure. Since Tilt Li Equipment cannot control field condi ons or field workmanship, Tilt Li Equipment does not guarantee any product altered in any way a er leaving the factory.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Panel‐Erec on Problem Areas

Field Condi ons, Equipment & Panel Sizes Become familiar with field condi ons and equipment available for the lt‐up project. Actual crane capacity depends on crane loca on, panel weight and the panel’s centre of li . For rigging and li ing efficiency, Tilt Li Equipment recommends that for panel heights < 7.5 m panel widths should be < 10.5 m. For panel heights > 7.5 m widths should be < 6.0m.

Panel Openings Posi on openings in the centre of the panel. If this is not possible, maintain a 600mm leg of concrete. Less than 600mm of concrete will usually require a strongback.

Foo ng Heights When foo ng heights vary, always keep the bo om of the panel horizontal. (See Fig.1) Avoid panel designs similar to figures 2 & 3. Designs such as these will require strongbacks and/or special handling to prevent panel twis ng and spalling.

Headers Avoid panel designs that have large centre of gravity shi s. If a header is required, the example on the right is the preferred design.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Erec on Engineering

Erec on Design Engineer & Bracing The Na onal Code of Prac ce for Precast, Tilt‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construc on (NCoP) is now the peak regulatory document governing design and construc on prac ce for precast and lt‐up in Australia. It supplements the technical provisions of AS3850 Prefabricated Concrete Elements. Tilt Li can assist with any enquiries about these industry guidance resources. An essen al direc on of the NCoP is se ng the standard for engaging adequate engineering input for construc ng with precast concrete. The role of the required Erec on Design Engineer (EDE) is detailed and includes responsibility for correct applica on of engineering controls for the li ing and bracing of precast panels and other elements. Tilt Li is an ac ve member of the NPCAA (Na onal Precast Concrete Associa on Australia) which has published this ar cle at right in its quarterly magazine Na onal Precaster No.63 (Feb 2012). The mandated role of the EDE in rela on to the engineering of bracing solu ons and systems is clear. Tilt Li can supply all engineering support for approval by the EDE including fully compliant braces and accessories.

Rigging and the Crane

General The most important phase during the construc on of a lt up building is the erec on of the wall panels. It is extremely important for the designers and

contractors to plan and replan this por on of the job. They should direct their efforts to ensure that this important phase of construc on is performed safely and efficiently. Since there must be a close, coopera ve rela onship between the panel contractor and the erec on subcontractor, it is advisable to select an erec on sub–contractor during the early days of the project. The erec on sub–contractor and crew should be well experienced in lt–up, as pan‐el l ng and handling is a very specialised skill.

Prior To Construc on

Prior to the actual start of construc on, an inspec on of the site should be made by the contractor. The loca on of the job site may be such that special permits will be required to gain access to the site for heavy equipment such as the crane. These projects are usually built in residen al areas where weight and size restric ons may exist.

It is advisable for the contractor to inves gate restric ons on early daily start–up mes. Many areas have noise abatement and dust control regu‐la ons. Also, the panel contractor and erec on contractor should walk the site and determine a suitable loca on for the crane assembly and rigging make–up. Some local governments will not allow this ac vity on public streets. It is also advisable that any problems with uneven terrain be noted at this me and dealt with prior to bringing the crane onto the jobsite.

The panel contractor and the erec on contractor should always agree on a loca on for both the crane entrance onto the floor slab as well as the exit ramp off the floor slab. If necessary, plans should be made to thicken the floor slab at these ramp loca ons so the crane weight will not damage the edge of the slab.

Underground tunnels, trenches and sewer lines are a very common occurrence and can create problems. It is necessary to know the loca on of these un‐derground hazards and to avoid those that may need strengthening in order to support the crane's weight. We have o en found that the loca on of these underground hazards is not always noted on the architect/engineer's plans. Further inves ga on by the panel contractor should be made in an effort to discover these types of unknown hazards.

Overhead electric or telephone wires can be a common problem on both urban and rural job sites. It may be necessary to shut off the power in some over‐head wires in order to safely operate the crane during panel erec on. Safety regula ons dictate that cranes will keep a minimum distance from power‐lines.

The quality of the floor slab on a lt–up project cannot be over emphasized due to the heavy weights that the slab will be expected to support early in its life. Equally as important as the slab, is the sub–base under the floor slab. When it comes to suppor ng the combined weight of the crane and lted panel, the floor slab is no be er than its sub–base. Even a thick, properly engineered floor slab with two layers of reinforcing steel will not support the weight of the crane if the sub base is unstable.

To insure an efficient construc on procedure, careful considera on must be given to the cas ng loca on of the panels. The following two important criteria must be met if the contractor expects to have a successful project:

Panels must be located for efficient CASTING.

Panels must be located for efficient and safe LIFTING.

The panel contractor should work with the erec on subcontractor in developing the panel cas ng layout. The erector's advice should be sought so that the panels are cast in such a posi on that a properly sized crane can safely reach and erect them.

Crane selec on should not be looked on as merely rou ne. General rules for sizing the crane state that the crane capacity should be a minimum of two to three mes that of the heaviest panel including the weight of the rigging gear. However, in the final analysis not only the panel weight, but also the crane's posi on rela ve to the panel must be considered. The following ques ons must be answered before final determina on of crane size can be es‐tablished:

How far must the crane reach to li the panel?

How far will the crane have to reach to set the panel?

Crane Cer fica on The crane that is finally selected for the project should be property cer fied. In addi on too the commonwealth standards many, if not all states have

standards with which erec on sub–contractors must comply. Prudent contractors make certain they have available at the jobsite documenta on a es ng to the crane's cer fica on. The contractor should also obtain a cer ficate of liability insurance from the erec on sub–contractor.

Site Inspec on A er the panels are cast and cured, the panel contractor, erec on sub–contractor, and the accessory supplier should again walk the site. The terrain

upon which the crane will travel should be inspected and any further correc ons noted. Correc ve ac ons shall be taken prior to erec on of the panels. Entrance and exit ramps should be checked. The entrance ramp should be built up so the crane descends slightly down onto the slab instead of crawl‐

ing up onto it. The exit ramp should be built in the same manner. On some buildings, architectural openings are large enough for the crane to exit. In any case, do not let the crane's weight bear at the extreme edge of the slab. This is of par cular importance if the crane is walking out with the added weight of the closure panel.

Equipment & Crew The panel contractor and the erec on contractor must itemise the rigging and equipment that will be needed for a prop‐

er and safe li . This booklet contains specifica on on rigging configura on and cable lengths, please note that occasionally the li ing design engineer will specify a different set off cable lengths for a par cular panel or set off panels. These details should be rigidly adhered to, since they are an integral part of the erec on stress calcula ons. TILT–LIFT EQUIPMENT DOES NOT SPECIFY THE DIAMETER OR SAFE WORKING LOAD OF THE CABLE as this is the responsi‐

bility of the erec on contractor. The panel contractor should also make a list of required tools. The list should include, but not be limited to, correct number of li ing clutches, expansion bolts, a compressor, drills, wrenches, ladders and mis‐cellaneous hand tools.

It is also prudent to an cipate material needs for last minute repairs. If a delay is caused for any reason, down me can add up rapidly. The panel contractor should provide a clean working area with all obstacles removed. Members of the erec on crew will

be guiding a panel while it is being moved from the cas ng loca on to its posi on in the structure. Most of the me these crew members will be looking up at the rigging and inserts. They should not be tripping over loose debris and tools.

The erec on contractor's minimum crew should consist of the crane operator, rigger foreman, and two qualified riggers. This crew should be augmented, as required, by carpenters and labourers from the panel contractor's work force, primarily to handle braces. In areas of the country where no erec on contractors are available, the minimum crew should consist of crane operator, qualified foreman and four to five labourers. An excep on to this would be with stacked panels which re‐quire an addi onal two to three labourers. Considera on should also be given to having a welder standing by. A properly staffed and well coordinated erection crew is the key to successful li ing.

The crane operator must be a qualified and experienced in handling lt–up panels. He must be able to control three mo‐ons of his crane: hoist, swing and boom hoist. It is quite normal to use all three of these func ons simultaneously.

Panel Erec on Informa on

Day of Erec on A safety mee ng with full crew should be held before any li ing starts. Personnel should be told to never place themselves under the

panel while it is being lted or on the blind side of the panel when the crane is travelling with it. The crew should be told to never get be‐tween the crane and the panel. A conscien ous erec on contractor will always advise his crew that horseplay or unnecessary talking will not be allowed. A standard part of the safety mee ng, which is normally conducted by the rigger foreman, should contain comments about the need

to remain alert. Each person's safety depends on the safe prac ces of others. The crew should be reminded that safety is everyone's re‐sponsibility and that hard hats, high visibility vest and any other personal protec on equipment that are required. It is advisable for the erec on contractor to create a safety check list and have the crew members sign it at the end of the safety mee ng.

The rigger foreman should be clearly iden fied at the safety mee ng. This individual will be the one the crane operator will be looking

to for all signals. The rigger foreman must be experienced with handling panels and be totally familiar with the precise set of hand and arm signals. This will safely communicate his desires to the crane operator. Verbal instruc ons are all but impossible due to the noise level in the operator's cab. A competent rigger foreman will create and maintain a confident atmosphere during the li . He will always remain alert to guard

against overconfidence, and will not allow the crew to become careless. During the safety mee ng the rigger foreman should demonstrate the proper use of the li ing hardware, bracing hardware and the

proper way to hold a brace and how to use any necessary tools and equipment. If the crane is using rolling outriggers a warning to the crew to stay clear is in order.

The crew should be broken up into teams for handling bracing, rigging, and hardware a achment. Each individual's func on and re‐

sponsibility should be clearly defined.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Panel Erec on Informa on

The panel contractor should furnish an individual whose responsibility it is to clean the floor slab cas ng loca on as soon as the crane has li ed a panel

and cleared the area. Regardless of how good a contractor's housekeeping is prior to the li , there is always a certain amount of debris le behind. This

individual should also make certain that all le over forming nails are pulled from the slab. The rigging details furnished by Tilt‐Li Equipment in the erec on instruc ons are not merely simple guidelines from which the erector can stray. THE RIGGING DETAILS DEFINE THE PROPER RIGGING FOR EACH PANEL FOR THE ERECTOR. Spreader bar widths and cable angles are integral parts of the erec on stress analysis. Proper cable lengths are important to the success of the li . The use of cables that are shorter than the prescribed length will increase stresses in the panel and could cause the panel to crack. If an erector has a problem with rigging details or cable lengths, as they are shown in the erec on instruc ons, he should not take it upon himself to change them. In‐stead, a call should be made to the technical service centre from which the erec on instruc ons originated. An alternate solu on may be worked out depending on the individual situa on.

Extra precau ons should be taken when li ing panels with special shapes or special rigging. The erec on instruc ons should be consulted for CAU‐TIONARY NOTES as to how a panel might act during li ing, and to again verify the rigging and the insert loca ons.

During the Li ‐ Precau ons

Wind condi ons must be considered prior to li ing a panel. A 40 tonne panel will easily move in a slight breeze when hanging from a crane. All spectators should be kept well away from the li and not allowed to interfere with the proceedings.

Panels should be inspected prior to li ing for any reinforcing steel and/or ledgers that may be projec ng beyond the panel edges that will create interference when the panel is being plumbed next to a previously erected panel. This happens most o en at corners.

A er all a achments are made to the panel, and as the rigging is being raised to take the slack out of the cables, but prior to ini al loading of the inserts, all rigging gear must be inspected for proper alignment and be free of snags. If non swivel type sheaves are used, make certain the sheaves are properly aligned. As cables are being tensioned, they invariably tend to twist and possibly rotate the li ing hardware causing side loading on the hardware. The rigger foreman should be alert for this condi on and if it does happen, SHOULD HALT THE LIFT AND REALIGN THE HARDWARE.

It is the rigger foreman's responsibility to be alert to all obstacles in the path of the crane and crew. He should be alert for panels that may be stuck to the cas ng surface. Under such condi ons, loads transferred to the li ing inserts could be more than doubled causing possible insert failure. Carefully posi oned. pry bars and wedges can o en be successful in helping the crane release the panel from the cas ng surface. Any wedges that are applied to help release the panel should be posi oned at the insert lines.

Braces are almost always a ached to the panel prior to li ing. Cau on must be taken to be certain the braces will not be trapped by the rigging when the panel is in the upright posi on.

Plumbing the Panels— Precau ons

Be alert when plumbing panels to their final upright posi on. Cau on must be taken to make certain the panel being plumbed does not strike a previously erected panel. All personnel should be cleared of those cri cal areas around a panel when plumbing is being done. If the panel being plumbed is a closure panel, measurements should be taken prior to li ing to make certain the panel will fit.

Tilt–up panels should be as plumb as possible prior to a aching the brace to the floor a achment anchor. Temporary out–of–plumb SHOULD NOT EXCEED 100 mm measured at the top of the panel. It is generally more prac cal to "fine tune" the panel plumbness with the pipe braces a er the li is completed.

There are two commonly occurring condi ons that dictate that the panels be braced perfectly plumb prior to releasing the crane:

1 ) If the panel is going to support an adjacent spandrel or lintel panel, the suppor ng panel should be in an accurate final posi on to prevent having to adjust it later when it is suppor ng another panel.

2) If the bracing design calls for a sub support system of knee, lateral, and end or cross bracing, then the panel should be accurately plumbed prior to a aching the sub support system. Panels requiring sub support systems must not be plumbed later as the brace sub sup‐port system, if not removed, must be at least loosened in order to adjust the main brace, thus placing the panel in a dangerous posi on.

Bracing Do not release the crane load if, for any reason, the bracing does not appear adequate. Crane loads should always be released slowly, keep‐

ing an eye on the panel and bracing for any unusual ac vity. For knee and lateral bracing it is desirable that all bracing components be com‐pletely installed before releasing the crane. That is, all knee, lateral, and end or cross bracing, if required, be in place. However, this is not al‐ways possible. You should always be able to install the knee bracing, however, the crane's posi on near the panel may prevent the lateral brac‐ing from being a ached.

Once the crane is clear of the area, the panel contractor must complete the lateral and end or cross bracing. He must complete this phase of the bracing while remaining no more than one panel behind the erec on crew. All bracing should be completed on all erected panels at the end of the work day.

The following diagrams show various types of rigging configura ons, although a 3 row li has been shown here, it is recom‐mended by both Tilt‐Li Equipment and Australian Standards 3850 to be avoided whenever possible due to the complex rig‐ging that is involved; the difficultly in rigging these kind of panels can be seen in the diagram below. Unless otherwise speci‐fied on li ing design drawings, the following rigging configura ons should always be used. Contractors must always use cen‐tre pick style spreader beams, as shown in the diagrams, as well as sheaves as required. This is to ensure that all li ers are loaded equally and that the panel will correctly rotate as the panel is been li ed. This is par cularly important on panels where li ers have been offset from each other. The following rigging setups represents those setups which will be used most of the me, very rarely for complicated panels the rigging setup may vary slightly, in these cases the li ing engineer will indicate the type of rigging on the li ing design drawing. For panels that are edge li ed the rigging setup is the same as for R‐11, R‐12 or R‐14.

Rigging Set‐up

12

March 2012


Minimum sling lengths are also shown on the diagram below, although only 2 across setups have been shown below these lengths apply if the rigging setup is 1, 2, 4 or 8 across. Please note that the li ing design engineer may specify different length slings for any panel or any set panels and it is extremely important that those specifica ons are adhered to.

It is important that both the correct rigging configura on and sling lengths are used when li ing lt up panels. Failure do to so may result in li ers been unequally loaded, meaning that the panel may not rotate correctly and/or a li er may fail. Sling lengths are extremely important in calcula ng the stresses in a panel, as such the use of a sling that is too short will result in stresses that are higher then calculated and poten ally cause cracking of the panel during the li ing process.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Strongbacks

When large openings are required in panels, they will nor‐mally create extreme bending stresses in the remaining con‐crete sec ons. The purpose of strong backs is to increase the s ffness of the panel, thus reducing the bending stress‐es. Internal reinforcing steel can o en be used by applying normal reinforced concrete design techniques.

Another efficient and economical method of strongbacking is external wood, aluminium or steel beams, as they provide greater sec on modulus to resist bending. A er a panel has been erected, the strongbacks are normally no longer re‐quired and may be removed and used on other panels.

Tilt‐Li Equipment’s technical Service Department will se‐lect the proper type of strong back insert, size and number of strongbacks as well as loca ons of strong‐ backs on jobs submi ed for detailing.

Tilt‐Li Equipment offices have RMD slim shores which are available for use as strongbacks, these have a capacity to withstand 36 kNm bending moment for those that are a complete unit and 18 kNm if two are joined together. They are available in 1.8 and 3.6 metres long, they can be joined together to make any combina on length of those sizes. Other sizes are available directly from RMD. The strong‐backs are bolt to the panels using T‐6‐A’s and 19mm coil bolts.

The strongback‐shore system is used to reduce stresses during the li ing process and stabilize the panel during and a er erec on. Generally, this system should be u lized on panels where an offset opening is equal to or greater than 1/2 the panel width. The concrete leg sec on must be checked for stresses to determine if addi onal reinforcing steel or strong‐backs are needed.

Strongback size should be of sufficient width and depth to car‐ry erec on loads and consist of material strong enough to withstand repeated use. The shore depth should be the same nominal size as the panel thickness, i.e., a 150 mm panel would require a 100mm x 150mm or 150mm x 150mm shore.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts T–75 Emergency Li ing Plate

The T–75 Emergency Li ing Plate is designed and tested for use as an emergency repair li plate in special situa ons where a normal cast–in–place lt–up face pickup insert is missing, pped over, improperly located or otherwise unusable.

The li plate is to be installed so that it is centred over the original insert loca on. When the li plate cannot be installed at the original insert loca on, contact Tilt–Li Equipment. When installing the T–75 Emergency Li ing plate, always check to make certain the li ing lug is aligned in the direc on of the cables. DO NOT apply loads at an angle to the flat side of the li ing lug! The T–75 Emergency Li ing Plate is to be a ached to the face of the precast concrete lt–up wall panel using either four or six properly installed Power Bolts. Bolts must be ghtened to a torque of 160 Nm. Ensure appropriate sized washers are used. Minimum edge distance from each of the anchor bolts is 240 mm. Edge distances of less than 240 mm may result in a reduced li ing capacity. Using compressed air, just before installa on of the Pow‐erbolt, clean out all of the drilled holes. Failure to properly clean the holes may result in a reduced li plate load carrying capacity.

To install the T–75 Emergency Li ing plate, set the plate in its proper posi on and mark the hole loca ons. Drill the required number of holes using a new 20 mm diameter carbide‐ pped drill bit.

Insert the assembled Powerbolt, with square washer (65 x 65 x 5 mm, hole should be no bigger then 22 mm), through the holes in the li plate into properly drilled and cleaned holes. Using a hammer, tap the bolt all the way into the hole so that the washer and bolt head comes to rest on the top surface of the li plate. Tighten the Powerbolt using a torque wrench, the bolts must ghtened to a torque of 160 Nm. Use the crane to place a light load onto the li plate. Release the load and check all bolts to make certain they are s ll ghtened to 160 Nm. Bolts that have a lower torque value will have a reduced load carry‐ing capacity. The working load limits (WLL) of these power bolts and li plate are shown below. The working load limits are deter‐mined by panel thickness and the number of powerbolts actu‐ally used to a ach the li plate to the lt–up panel.

NOTE: Insert WLL’s are based on approximately a 2.5 to 1 fac‐tor of safety. Li plate develops approximately a 5 to 1 factor of safety based on a maximum WLL of 5 ton. The above WLL’s are based on the li ing plate being in‐stalled so that the raised li ing lug is aligned with the direc on of the li ing cables. In order to develop the safe working loads of the T–75 Emergency li ing Plate, the normal weight concrete in the panel must have a ained a minimum compressive strength of 25 MPa. These safe working loads assume that the Powerbolt have been properly installed. The base of the li plate measures 16 mm x 305 mm x 305 mm and has six 30 mm di‐ameter holes drilled at 100 mm centres ver cally and 200 mm centres horizontally.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts T‐14 Precast Panel Brace

The Tilt Li Equipment Precast Panel Brace is a me tested accessory which has become the standard in panel construc on. Its proper re‐la on of strength to weight permits ease of handling while providing a rugged brace which is easily adjusted. In compliance with AS3850 and the Na onal Code of Prac ce for Precast, Tilt‐Up and Concrete Elements in Building Construc on (NCoP) each model of Tilt Li brace has been test‐rated for load / extension performance and carries an appropriate ra ng plate. The panel brace is a ached to the panel before l ng by means of a 19mm diameter coil bolt threaded into the brace anchor. When the panel is lted into its final posi on, the floor bracket is normally bolted to the floor slab with a M20 x 133 powerbolt. Good construc on prac ces dictate the use of a spring washer under the head of any coil bolts. A slo ed hole on the floor and wall base plate provides easy a achment and has raised stops to prevent the brace from sliding sideways once the coil bolts have been ghtened. The slot on the standard brace foot is 20 mm wide, brace feet can be swap over with brace feet that have a slot that is 24mm wide, if a bolt that can gain a higher load is required. Both brackets remain flat at all mes as pivo ng ac on is provided in both the floor and wall brackets. A er the panel is lted to the approximate ver cal posi on, Tilt Li Equipment’s Panel Brace is used to align and hold the panel un l it is permanently anchored by further construc on. The floor bracket of Tilt Li Equipment’s pipe brace hardware is a ached to a 38 mm diameter threaded rod. This galvanised threaded rod has a 3.5 mm contour threads to the inch that are fast and non–clogging. A weld spot at the top of the threaded adjus ng rod pre‐vents accidental removal. Tilt–Up braces are designed for use only in connec on with bracing lt–up precast concrete construc on against wind loads. Due to the problems involved in bracing masonry walls, Tilt–Li Equipment assumes no responsibility if braces are used to support concrete block, brick or other masonry. The telescoping pipe braces can be rough adjusted in increments of 150 mm by aligning the pin holes in the two pipes. Finer adjustments can be a ained by simply rota ng the en re pipe assembly clockwise or counter clockwise as required. Ease of rota on is guaranteed by the ball bearing coupler a ached to the pipe brace at the wall bracket. Due to circumstances beyond Tilt–Li Equipment’s control maxi‐

mum brace lengths and styles may vary slightly from loca on to loca on. It is good construc on prac ce to consider the working length of pipe braces to be 150 mm more then mini‐mum length and 150 mm less then the maximum length.

Shear Pin

The various safety authori es around Australia vary in what they consider is an acceptable method to prevent the shear pin from accidental dislodgement. In some cases as risk analy‐sis may need to be carried out by the contractors to deter‐mine which method can be used. Tilt‐Li Equipment recom‐mends the use of the lockable shear pin for bracings, these pins have a lock that can only be opened with a key. This method is currently accepted by all of the worksafe authori‐es and in our opinion is the safest of the currently available

op ons. Tilt‐Li Equipment also has available the use of normal shear pins, that can be refrained using a variety of methods. Local contractors should contact there local worksafe authori es to find out which method is acceptable. The contractor should also carry out a risk assessment in accordance with OH&S guidelines and regula ons to see if this method is safe to use on any given worksite. Precau ons must also be taken to en‐sure that any nails or R‐clips do not become a safety hazard on site.

Tilt–Li Equipment Tilt–Up pipe braces are for the sole purpose of bracing the lt–up panel in the fully erected posi on against wind loads only. Braces are not to be used as props in the support of concrete formwork, or panels that have an earth load applied too them, braces are not designed to sustain high dead loads. Bracing anchors and braces are not designed to sustain impact loads. Precau on must be taken to arrange the panel erec on se‐quence so as to avoid the poten al for impac ng panels or braces. Bracing recommenda ons for other loads or forces that might be ap‐plied to brace anchors and braces are beyond the scope of Tilt–Li Equipment.

T‐14 Precast Panel Brace

Brace design must be carried out on each project to ensure that the braces being used will be within their Working Load Limit. Many fac‐tors need to be considered when calcula ng which brace is required. The “Whatever Length Will Fit” approach is not acceptable. If draw‐ings are not available showing bracing design Tilt‐Li Equipment can provide such as service.

The factors that need to be considered for each panel:

• Panel Area

• Wind Terrain Category of Project

• Design Wind Speed

• Height of Panel

• Centre of Surface Area of the Panel

• Angle of Brace

• Length of Brace

• Number of Braces per Panel

• Floor Height/ Deadmen Height

Danger! Bracing must be installed 90° ± 5° to plane of panel or brace safe working load will be greatly reduced.

Danger! For safety, and unless specifically designed otherwise, all braces must be installed at least 600 mm above the panels centre of gravity. Brace loca‐ons other than those shown may reduce the braces SWL dras cally. Brace angles over 60° from the horizontal result in poor mechanical advantage and

excessive ver cal kick, while brace angles under 50° decrease brace buckling strength due to greater length and excessive sag.

Without knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted for various lengths of "B" shown, and brace may be used without knee, lateral or end bracing. With knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted for various lengths of "B" shown and requires the use of knee, lateral and end bracing to obtain the WLL. “B” = Brace Length

Brace Anchor Loca on The loca on of both brace anchors is cri cal in determining the loads that are applied to any brace system. Shop drawings will most of me will show the loca on of the wall panel cast in brace point.

However just as important as the loca on of this point is the loca on of the floor brace point. This will normally be indicated on the draw‐ing or perhaps another engineering sheet. On Tilt‐Li Equipment bracing designs it is located in the lower le corner known as the “F” measurement. In our experience this measurement is overlooked by many panel erectors. This measurement is important because it de‐termines three things: 1. The brace load 2. The brace length 3. The load that is been applied to floor brace anchor. If this brace point is too close the panel it will increase the brace load as well as the tension load applied to the floor brace point. Possible taking either one beyond their working load limit, too far away from the panel increases the brace length, as the brace gets long‐er it also reduces its working load limit, once again it could poten ally take the applied load beyond its working limit. As such the distance out should always be remember when bol ng down the braces. Floor brace loca ons should always be within 150mm of the distance out shown by the appropriate engineering drawing. The braces must always be within 5 degrees of perpendicular of the panel, as shown in the plan view drawing above.

WARNING! IT IS COMMON TO REFER TO THE SECONDARY BRACING SUPPORT SYSTEM OF THE MAIN PIPE BRACES AS KNEE BRACING. HOWEVER, THE USER IS TO BE AWARE THAT WHEN KNEE BRACING IS REQUIRED, IT MEANS THAT LATERAL BRACING AND END BRACING MUST ALSO BE INCLUDED. THIS SECONDARY BRACING SUPPORT SYSTEM IS NEEDED TO REDUCE THE BUCKLING LENGTH OF THE MAIN PIPE BRACES AND MUST HAVE FIRM CONNECTIONS AT ALL POINTS. BOTH THE KNEE BRACE AND THE END BRACE MUST BE CONNECTED AT ITS BOTTOM END.

Knee, Lateral and End Bracing

In order to properly strengthen the main pipe brace, knee bracing, lateral bracing and end must be installed at the midpoint of the main pipe brace. All these components are cri cal for the brace to develop its full working load. Tilt‐li Equipment designates its sec‐ondary bracing system as K1 or K2, K1 represents a B1 to be used as the knee brace while K2 means a B2 is used. K0 means that no knee, lateral or end bracing is required.

Knee Bracing The knee brace is a B1 or B2 pipe brace with a Knee Bracket A ached. The knee brace must be installed inline with the main brace (looking at the face of the panel). Looking at the bracing from the side the knee brace must be installed at a 90º ±15º to the main brace (see diagram to right). Foot should be bolted to panel with a T–6–A, Ferrule or expansion bolt, such as the M20 power bolt.

Lateral Bracing All mber connec ons must be 100 x 50 F8 seasoned mber (with a minimum joint group of JD3)*, that is free of all cracks, splits and oth‐er defects. Lateral bracing should be a ached to the knee brace bracket with two nails 3.75 x 50. (Preferably duplex nails so they are easier to re‐move). Each nail should be 20 mm from the edge of the mber. Overlapping sec ons of mber in the lateral bracing must overlap by a minimum of 500 mm. 4 nails 3.75 x 100 should be used to nail the two sec ons of lateral bracing together. Each nail must 100 mm apart and the last nail must 100 mm from the end of the mber. *Any type of seasoned mber can be used for lateral bracing on the condi on it is listed as JD1, JD2 or JD3 in Australian Standards AS 1702.2 and has a stress grade of at least F8. Distance between each brace when running lateral bracing between them should be no more then 2 meters. If the distance is over two meters then an end brace should be installed on each of those braces. Scaffolding pipe connected to the main brace with the appropriate size swivel couplers is an acceptable alterna ve to mber lateral brac‐ing, the end bracing must s ll be installed as per specifica ons. All lateral bracing must be supplied by contractor.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts End Bracing

The end bracing is the same as the Knee bracing a B1, B2 or mini brace is used with a knee bracket a ached to one end of the end brace. The knee bracket is installed around the main brace , the other end of the end brace is bolted to either the ground or if there is a corner panel it can be bolted to the corner panel. Looking at the face of the panel the end brace must be installed between 30º to 90º to the main brace. Looking from above, the end bracing should be at 90º ± 15º. End bracing must be installed every 35 meters and at each end of the lateral bracing to prevent lateral movement and to provide total brace stability.

Note: End braces to ground and/or cross braces must be installed eve‐ry 35 meters and at the ends of lateral bracing to prevent lateral movement of braces and to provide total brace stability.

Warning! Main pipe braces must installed 90° ± 5° to plane of panel or brace safe working load will be dras cally reduced. Panel stability may be jeopardised when braces are skewed.

Danger! Tilt–Up braces are designed to resist a specific wind load only. Do not remove or release any part of the brace sup‐port system un l the panel has been permanently anchored. Premature removal of bracing may result in a panel falling with serious injury or death to workers in the vicinity of the job site.

Danger! A er winds of 7m/s (25 km/h) or more have been experienced at the job site, the lt–up contractor must check the ghtness of the bolts that secure the wall and foot plates to the concrete. Re ghtening of such bolts to the proper torque

will assure that the pipe braces are secure.

Using a 73 mm diameter rounded U–bolts (Thread M12). A ach a small piece a 350 long piece of 50 x 100 F8 Timber to the braces at the height specified in the diagram le . Then nail the cross bracing members to these small pieces of mbers using two 3.75 x 100 nails. Nails must be at least 20 mm from the edge of the mber and at least 100 mm from the ends of the mbers. The nails should also be at least 20 mm apart. If cross bracing is used it must supplied by contractor. *Any type of seasoned mber can be used for lateral bracing on the condi on it is listed as JD1, JD2 or JD3 in Australian Standards AS 1720.2 and has a stress grade of at least F8.

Cross bracing is an acceptable alterna ve to lateral bracing and end bracing. This method system provides stability when the erec on se‐quence dictates the there are no adjacent panels that would make con nuous lateral bracing possible.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts Corner Bracing

The proper method of bracing corner panels shown above. A achment of braces to deadmen in the leave–out area allows the braces to be properly located without having to skew the braces for a achment to the floor slab. Corner brace lengths must be adjusted to eliminate pipe interference.

Warning! Panel must be secured at the bo om, to prevent the panel from “walking” off the panel foo ng in gusty condi ons and to pre‐vent extremely strong winds or construc on loads from kick out the bo om of the panel.

Point Summary of Bracing Installa on

Install braces perpendicular to panel face. Always check distance out or “F” measurement Panel should be plumb with braces and knee brac‐

es installed before crane releases panel. Lateral bracing should be install as soon as crane

and crew are clear and should not be more than one panel behind the last panel erected.

Lateral bracing must be con nuous, connected at each brace, and ed off with end brace at the end of each line or at 35 meters.

All members of the brace system must always be in place and secured at the end of each day.

Knee and lateral bracing must be located at mid‐length of pipe brace.

Panels requires a minimum of two braces per pan‐el.

Do not erect panels or con nue working during ex‐cessive windy or adverse weather condi ons

All braces inserts should a minimum of 300 mm from any panel edge, opening, control joint or con‐struc on joint.

Panel bracing is designed to withstand specified wind loads un l panels are connected to the struc‐tural system of the building do not remove any

members of the brace system un l all structural members of the building are completed.

Use only the brace type specified. No subs tute brace hardware shall be used and all braces must be posi oned at the specified loca ons.

Knee and end bracing must firmly a ached at each end prevent buckling of main braces.

Panel bracing is designed to withstand specified wind loads un l panels are incorporated into the structural system of the building.

Welding or bol ng the precast or lt–up elements in place might preclude the uses of braces.

T–14 Tilt–up braces are not recommended for bracing concrete block, brick or other types of ma‐sonry.

DO NOT allow earth loads to be applied to panels that are been support by braces

Always use bracing connec ons as specified. For special condi ons contact Tilt–Li Equipment

T‐6‐A Wall Brace Anchor The T‐6‐A is a hexical wire coil type bracing insert as spec‐ified in AS3850.1 4.3 (a) iv (A). For use in panels where the brace is to be a ached to the “up‐face” of the panel as it lies on the cas ng slab. These anchors are o en re‐ferred to as “standard” brace anchors. Available in 19 mm coil diameter. Uses standard coil threaded bolts. Available in the following sizes: 125 mm, 150 mm,

175 mm and 200 mm. Recommended minimum distance from edge dis‐

tance of 300 mm. The minimum bolt engagement in this insert: 50

mm. (See diagram lower right) Working Load Limit of the T‐6‐A is 23 kN in direct

tension. (25 MPa concrete) The torque of the coil bolts in the T‐6‐A should be

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts B‐14 Coil Bolts

Bolt Technical Informa on

Tilt–Li Equipment supplies two different types of coil bolts, one is used for the F–44 coil ferrule and the other is used for the hexical type brace inserts such as the T–6–A and the T–4. They are easily dis nguishable from each other by a number of factors. The coil bolts used for the coil ferrule is a silver zinc plated bolt it has a threaded length of 75 mm, as well as a flanged head. The coil bolt for the T–6–A is a black bolt, has a threaded length of 90 mm and does not have a flanged head. The silver bolt should never be used in a T–6–A or a T–4 as it does not have adequate engagement for this type of insert .Before each use bolts should be measured to ensure they have not been shortened and that there length is adequate to ensure it achieves the correct engagement length. The B–14 coil bolt is designed so that in can be reused on a number of occasions and is easy to install and remove. B–14 Coil bolts have a fast–ac ng, self–cleaning coil thread and has a diameter of 19 mm. The bolts may be reused – but will wear and must be regularly inspected. Must be kept clean and lubricated. Minimum coil penetra on shown in the charts below must strictly ad‐hered to on all wire coil products. Minimum coil penetra on values represent the bolts minimum pene‐tra on through the T–6–A, T–4 etc, from the top of the device as shown in the next figure. The distance from the top coil to the concrete should be taken into account into account.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts P‐82 Olive Edge Li Anchor System

The P‐82 Olive Anchor is engineered from high strength steel and designed to be used with the P‐81 Olive ring clutch for edge li ing of precast and lt‐up panels. All P‐82 Olive Anchors have a special head designed to control ring clutch pressure so it never bears on the concrete, helping to eliminate spalling during edge li ing. All Olive Anchors are designed to accept a Tension Bar where specified for addi onal capacity.

** A 3t WLL Olive Anchor is also being added to the range. Enquire directly for technical data. **

The P-833 Ring Clutch may be subject to wear, misuse, overload-ing and many other factors that may affect a Ring Clutch’s working load limit. The users must establish a program for inspection of their Ring Clutches based on their frequency of use. Inspections should consist of the following: Determine the general overall condition and wear. Make certain the bail can rotate freely in all directions. If evidence of heat application is found, the clutch must be

destroyed. Check for bent or twisted bails. Check for worn or bent curved bolt. Check for worn or deformed main clutch body. Check for enlarged engagement slot.

During inspection of the clutch body, if engagement is found to exceed W, remove the clutch from service and destroy it.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts P–53 Eye Anchor

The P–53 SL Li ing Eye Anchor is designed for use with a P‐60 Tension reinforcing bar to be placed through the eye of the anchor. This combina on of P–53 SL Eye Anchor and P–60 Rebar is an excellent system to use for se ng precast columns and thin narrow walls into posi on. The eye anchor is designed so that the total anchor force is transferred into the con‐crete via a reinforcement bar. The reinforcement bar is to be installed so that it is firmly fixed in the lower anchor opening and in contact with it. The anchor should be located at the centre line of the wall. When two or more anchors are required, the minimum spacing between anchors must be equal to the minimum panel width. Never Use the P‐53 Eye anchor for li ing thin panels in shear.

P–53 SL Eye Anchor for Li ing & Handling

WLL provides a factor of safety of 2.5 to 1 with a concrete strength of 25 MPa Anchor must be used in conjunc on with P‐60 Tension Bar in order to develop its published rate working loads.

The Tilt‐Li Equipment SL Eye Anchor (P‐53) is similar to the P‐52 anchor but has an eye at the foot to accept P‐60 Tension Bars. The P‐53 anchor is used primarily in thin sec ons, thin panels of lightweight concrete or shapes that must be handled at concrete compressive strengths as low as 15 MPa. P‐53 anchors are available in 1.3, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20‐ton capaci es and each has its load ra ng embossed on the head.

The P-52 SL Foot Anchor is forged from carbon steel that obtains the minimum 2.5 factor of safety as set out in AS3850. Both ends of the anchor are hot forged, the head designed to suit the P-50 Lifting Eye, while the disc shaped foot creates a large shear cone in the concrete when under load. The anchor also meets the V–notch charpy test min-imum 27J requirements for L15 steels as set out in AS 3850. The an-chors are hot dipped galvanised for corrosion protection and are avail-able in grade 316 stainless steel upon request.

Tilt-Lift Equipment anchors can be identified through the unique mark-ing that is on top of the Foot Anchor. The diagram opposite shows the typical head of a standard foot anchor. The initials “TLE” identify this as one of our foot anchors. Also marked on the head of the foot anchor is the load group of the anchors, as well as the overall length of the an-chor. Please note that the load group represents the strength of the steel of the anchor and not necessarily the concrete failure of the anchor.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts How to use the Foot Anchor Void Former

P‐55 SL Void Former The P‐55 SL Recess void former is used to form a cavity around the SL foot anchor. The recess void form is bolted to the form using a stud and wing nut combina on (P‐63 Male Connector) or a tapped plate and bolt (P‐66 Female Connector). It posi ons the anchor for easy a ach‐ment and removal of the clutch. The SL recess void former has slit which facilitates inser on of the anchor head and withdrawal when the formwork is stripped or the concrete has achieved final set. When removing the void former plain rods or screwdrivers can be introduced into the two holes provided in the top sur‐face of the recess void former which is then pried open and removed from the concrete.

P‐55 Round Void Former

P‐63 Male Connector The stud and wing nut is used to bolt the P‐55 SL Void former to formwork used in situa ons were the formwork can be removed by pulling the formwork directly out from the concrete surface. The formwork will slide out over the threaded stud.

P‐63 Male Connector

P‐64 Female Connector The threaded tapped plate is used to bolt the P‐55 SL Void former to formwork used in situa‐ons were the formwork cannot be removed horizontally and must be stripped ver cally. The

formwork needs to be slide directly up along the surface on the concrete and requires a smooth surface. A standard metric bolt is used to bolt the void former to the form.

P‐64 Female Connector

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts P–50 Universal Foot Anchor Universal Li ing Eye

The SL Universal Li ing Eye consists of a flat sided spherical li ing body and a high strength bail. The li ing body has a T–shaped slot which permits rapid a achment and release of the li ing eye onto the anchor, even while wearing work gloves. The design of the P–50 Universal Li ing Eye permits the bail to freely rotate 180°, while the complete eye may rotate through a 360º arc. As such once the li ing eye is correctly installed and under load it can operate in any direc on. This design feature allows your precast concrete elements to be turned, lted and/or rotated under load. The SL Li ing range of products have been designed so that the incorrect size clutch cannot be used on the wrong anchor. The SL Universal Li ing Eye should not be used to run a pulley, especially when upside down.

Factor of Safety: 5 to 1

Inspec on While appreciable wear does not normally occur, the general condi on and degree of wear should be checked at least eve‐ry three months. The upper limits of dimensions “H” and the lower limits of dimension “M” are shown below.

1. To install the P-50 Universal Lift-ing Eye, hold the unit upside down with the T-shaped slot of the body directly over the head of the foot anchor.

2. Lower the body of the lifting eye until the T-shaped slot engages the head of the anchor.

3. Rotate the body until the extended lip of the body touches the horizontal concrete surfaces.

The bail of the P-50 lifting eye can move through a 180° useable range.

Note the main body of the lifting eye has a 360º rotational range.

The lifting eye may be safely used with the T-shaped slot fac-ing away or towards the direction of applied load.

How to use the Universal Lifting Eye

To disengage the lifting eye, the crane hook is lowered and the body removed by rotating the extended lip upward.

Prior to lifting a precast element, apply an initial cable tension to make certain that the bail and body of the lifting eye are aligned in the direction of the cable pull.

When applying the initial cable tension on edge lift applications, make sure that the cables are at a 90° angle (or larger) to the surface of the precast element.

Warning: Do not allow the crane lines to form an angle less than 900 during an edge lift application. This condition can bend the lifting eye bail and could lead to a premature failure.

Warning: The crane line and bail of the lifting hardware must be turned in the direction of the cable forces before the lifting operation begins. The crane line must not be allowed to apply a sideward force on the bail. This condition is dangerous and could lead to premature failure of the hardware or insert. Warning: Do not modify, weld or alter in any way the Swift Lift Universal Lifting Eye.

Factor of Safety: 5 to 1

The P–51 SL Li ing Eye is a high quality steel cas ng, hardened and tempered. Its ball shaped lower end fits into the recess formed in the concrete and has a T–shaped slot which engages the spherical head of the anchor. Con‐nec on to the anchor head can only be made when the li ing eye posi oned face downwards to the concrete. In the working posi on, release is impossible. Accidental disengagement is prevented by a gravity–ac on safety pin which must be raised before the SL Li ing Eye can be removed.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts T‐41 Ground Release Insert

The ground release insert is a simple and fast method of li ing concrete lt‐up wall panels into posi on and allows the hardware to be easily released from the ground. Ladders are normally not required during the hardware release process which greatly increases worker safety and produc vity.

Features of the T‐41 Ground Release Insert are:

Flexible plas c antenna folds over when screed passes, but springs back to indicate insert loca on.

Plas c Recess plug creates a void for a aching the Ground Release Li ing Hardware to the insert head The expendable plas c recess plug is easily removed from hardened concrete.

Direc onal label indicates correct panel thickness and direc on of plas c recess plug in rela on to top & bo om of panel.

Ground Release Anchor. This hot forged anchor permits rapid hardware a achment and allows smooth rota on of the hardware during the release opera on.

Support Chair is sized for appropriate panel thickness. Each leg has a plas c p which protects the wire legs from exposure and poten al rust problems.

Ground Release Inserts are shipped assembled, ready to use and are size 3 mm less than panel thickness.

Working Load Limit for T-41 Ground Release Insert

The li ing anchors used in the T‐41 Ground release insert meet the V‐notch charpy test minimum 27J requirements for L15 steels as set out in AS3850. Tilt‐Li Equipment anchors also have the iden fying marks as required by various Worksafe industry codes of prac ce for Precast and Tilt–Up industries. The tonnage of the anchor, anchor length and Tilt Li Equip‐ment iden fying mark are all visible on the top of the li ing head. “TLE” is the iden fying mark for Tilt Li Equipment. Note: Although the tonnage of the anchor may be 5 tonne, the Working Load Limit of the li ing anchor will in most situa‐ons will be determined by the concrete strength, edge distance and overall length off the anchor. The Working Load Limit

for the T‐41 ground release insert, is set out in the table below. (Note: No addi onal reinforcing is required to achieve these working loads, addi onal reinforcing is required for li er stability only.)

Factor of Safety: 2.5 to 1 Italics Represents Safe Working Load determined by Lifting Hardware Minimum Edge Distance 3 x Anchor Length Sling must be in line with lifter to achieve WLL, otherwise reductions must be considered. Danger! Do not use for edge lifting of panels, as insert is not designed for such use. Do not use with top surface seeded exposed aggregate 18 mm or larger as aggregate will pop out during erection resulting in reduced working load limit.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts How to Remove the Ground Release Recess Plug

1. The Ground Release Inserts loca‐on in the panel is easily found by loca ng the antennae which will project through the surface of the concrete.

2. Using an ordinary claw hammer tap lightly around the antennae break‐

ing through the thin skin on concrete to expose the insert. Avoid striking the con‐crete to hard so as not to break through the plas c recess plug.

3. Drive claws of the hammer down about 10 mm between the end of

the recess plug and the concrete

5. Repeat Steps #3 & #4 to loosen the opposite half of the recess plug. 6. Grasp both halves of the recess plug between the thumb and finger and squeeze.

7. Both halves of the recess plug should now be easily removed, exposing the insert.

8. If one half the recess plug should be hard to remove , drive the claws of the hammer as deeply as possible, be‐tween the insert plug and top of the insert, as shown above. Push forward on the ham‐mer with one quick mo on. This will re‐move the recess plug.

9. Use a blower to remove all debris from around the insert and the

recess plug. The insert is now ready to receive the li ing hardware.

4. Pry up on the end of the recess plug un l one half of it “pops up” to a point where it is about a third of the way out of the concrete. For the me being leave it as is and proceed with step #5.

The Precast & Tilt-Up Experts T‐43‐R Ground ReleaseII Li ing Hardware

The new T‐43‐R Ground ReleaseII Li ing Hardware unit offers the lt‐up contractor the latest and easiest‐to‐use lt‐up li ing hardware unit on the market today. This new li ing hardware unit is a simplified design and when combined with a superior system for the quick and efficient erec on of lt‐up concrete wall panels.

Bail will accept all conven onal crane a achments. Units moves easily as it follows line of ac on of crane cable.

Li ing Body a aches to head of insert. Whenever diagonal loads are applied to the bail, the result is a combina on of a compression load applied to the concrete and a tension load applied to the insert.

Release Line is a 12 mm hollow braided polyethylene cord of sufficient length to reach the ground.

Working Load Limit is 5 tonne with a minimum safety factor of 5.

Minimum Insert Distances

Warning! Inserts must also be properly located in rela on to the centre of gravity of the panel. This work should be performed under the direc on of a professional engineer.

Safety Notes For safe use of the Ground ReleaseII System, it is necessary for the inserts to be posi oned so that the arrows on the direc onal label point to the top/bo om of the panel. You may also posi on direc onal arrows so they are parallel to the ver cal sides of the panel. Inserts must be properly located in rela on to edges, corners, openings and ledgers and at such a distances to permit the development of a full concrete shear cone. These minimum distances are shown in the illustra ons above. Embedment of inserts closer to an edge on concrete than the minimums shown may reduce the effec ve area of

the resis ng concrete shear cone and thus reduces the inserts working load limit. During placement of concrete, displacement of inserts must be avoided. Inserts must be properly embedded in sound concrete and shall be properly wired in place so that the ver cal axis of the insert is perpendicular to the li ing surface. Do not weld to the ground release anchor as welding causes embi erment and can result in a premature failure.

Do Not Use For Edge Li ing Do Not Use This System On Top Surface, Seeded, Exposed Aggregate 19 mm or Larger

Precheck all insert holes with hardware prior to erec on date, following instruc on steps 2,3 and 4, so that during l ng proper hardware ac on is assured.

1. Place plas c recess plug with arrow poin ng to top or bo om of panel with two legs of insert against the ver cal reinforcement. Wire e those legs of

insert to rebar. Place 12 mm x 450 mm long re‐bar diagonally, tying to horizontal and ver cal re‐bars and third leg of insert. Place addi onal re‐bar supports around insert as shown to prevent ver cal displacement. Please note the addi onal rein‐forcing bars are for stability only they are not required to develop the working load limit of the li ing anchor.

2. The various parts of the T‐43‐R Ground ReleaseII Li ing Hardware are shown above.

3. To install the li ing hardware onto the insert, hold the hardware by the bail

release arm and lower it onto the head of the insert. Check to make certain that the release arm points to the top of the panel.

4. Lower the release arm un l the arm comes into contact with the

panel. Lay the release line along side of the panel of the li ing hardware so that the line goes to the bo om of the panel. With the crane lines a ached, the panel is now ready for li ing.

5. As the panel is li ed, the re‐lease arm is trapped between the panel and the crane line, which insures that the li ing hardware cannot be prema‐turely released. Brace and secure into posi on.

6. The crane line should be slackened slightly to permit the release of the li ing hardware. To release the li ing hardware, apply a single downward force to the release the line.

WARNING! The crane line and bail of the li ing hardware must be turned in the direc on of the cable forces before the li ing opera on begins. The crane line must not be allowed to apply a sideward force on the bail, as this condi on is dangerous and could lead to premature failure of the hardware or insert.

How to use the Ground ReleaseII System

7. The li ing hard‐ware remains in

the open posi on ready to be lowered to the ground and a ached to the next panel.

Proper Hardware Usage Prior to li ing any lt‐up panel, apply an ini al load to the crane lines making certain that the hardware is properly a ached to the head of the T‐41 Ground Release Insert and that the bail of the li ing hardware is aligned with the crane line. DO NOT apply a sideward load to the bail of the li ing hardware.

T‐46 Ground ReleaseII Spreader Beam with Twin Shackles

The T‐46 Ground ReleaseII Spreader Beam is supplied with two 5 tonne shackles required to a ach the spreader beam to the T‐41 Ground Release Inserts. The use of this system will eliminate many of the rigging changes that have been required on projects with very large or extremely heavy panels.

The larger hole in the centre of the spreader beam will accept the many different sizes of li ‐ing shackles that the lt‐up panel erector may elect to use. The T‐46 Spreader Beam has a maximum Working Load Limit of 10 tonne with a factor of safety be er then 5 to 1.

T‐42 Double Ground ReleaseII System

Over the last few years a trend has developed towards the use of heavier lt‐up wall panels on many projects. In an effort to reduce the number of rigging changes required, when these heavier panels are to be erected, Dayton Superior has developed and test a new, double insert li ing system for increased li ing capacity. The new li ing system consists of two T‐41 Ground Release Inserts, two T‐43‐R Ground ReleaseII Li ing hardware units and our T‐46 Ground ReleaseII Spreader Beam with twin 5 tonne shackles. In order to develop the safe working loads list in the T‐42 load table, our T‐41 inserts must be spaced by the panel contractor at 305mm centres. A spacing of less the 305mm greatly reduce the li ing capacity of the system and the use of wider spacing is not recommended.

A er the lt‐up panel has been li ed into posi on and properly braced off, the two T‐43‐R Ground ReleaseII Hardware Units are released from the panel in the very same manner used to release a single unit.

Product description Sure-Lift (J-6) is a reactive and membrane forming premium bond breaker for tilt-up construction. Sure-Lift is a special formula of polymers and propriety ingredients designed to provide clean easy lifting of tilt panels. J-6 has a fugitive dye for ease of visual inspection during application. Use J-6 is designed to allow for easy lifting of tilt wall panels from a properly designed, finished and cured concrete casting beds. Benefits

• Chemically Reactive • Good resistance to rain and weather • Panels lift cleanly • Minimal panel residue • Resists construction foot traffic

NOTE: Prior to application, read and follow all current (verify literature is current) literature instructions, limitations and precautions in this data sheet, on the MSDS and on the label of the container prior to use. The instructions provided by this technical data sheet to general average site conditions such as concrete mix designs, finishing techniques, and site ambient conditions. Test applications should always be made by the end user prior to overall use of the bondbreaker. This is at a minimum necessary to verify that the amounts of bondbreaker purchased and anticipated to be applied is sufficient to result in the correct application coverage rates and end performance of the product based upon the specific site conditions. The concrete casting slab, waste slabs and tilt wall panels must be properly designed, finished and cured in accordance with industry standards and guidelines. Spray Equipment The (J-6) Bondbreaker must be applied by a high quality “low-pressure pump-up type sprayer” such as manufactured by Chapin or others. The tip size must be able to produce a well atomized spray pattern. The sprayer must be kept under sufficient pressure to correctly atomize the (J-6) without streaming, tailing, or spitting. A 1.9 litre/minute tip is generally recommended for most applications. The use of an improper sprayer, a dirty sprayer, lower than adequate pressures or wrong tip can result in an uneven application, and either over or under application.

First Bondbreaker Coat The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the (J-6) protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.). Just prior to placing the reinforcing steel, and within two weeks of pouring the panels, spray apply the first bondbreaker application of (J-6) at 9.8m2/L to the point of rejection. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. Second Bondbreaker Coat Wait until first coat dries, approximately 2 hours depending on temperature and humidity, and apply a second coat right angles to the previous coat. Coverage for the second coat will typically be 13.5-17.2 m2/L. If light or white spots appear within 10-40 minutes after spraying, those areas are extra porous and should be fogged with water followed by a reapplication of the (J-6) 13.5-17.2 m2/L. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. The number of bondbreaker coats and coverage rates necessary to achieve a complete uniform coverage is highly dependent on the concrete casting slab mix design as well as its inherent porosity, finishing techniques, and other related site specific ambient conditions. Adequate bondbreaker application is in large part dependent upon development of a uniform soap like feel of the bondbreaker treated surface as well as beading of water. Bondbreaker can also be checked by rolling up a small ball like amount under thumb pressure. Extremely porous or rough casting slabs will necessitate successive additional coats of bondbreaker to achieve a consistent uniform membrane of the correct coverage rate and membrane thickness. Extremely porous or otherwise absorptive slabs can also be fogged with water to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application of bondbreaker. Bondbreaker Test To verify the integrity of the bondbreaker coat, sprinkle water on the casting bed. (Water should bead up as on a freshly waxed automobile). The applied, dried material should have a soap like feel, uniformly over the substrate. The application should appear uniform and continuous, with light areas requiring re-application. Failure to verify proper uniform application and coverage rates can result in panel sticking. Testing must be performed over a large enough surface area in an adequate testing frequency to provide accurate and meaningful results.





It is entirely the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the bondbreaker has been evenly and uniformly applied at the recommended application/coverage rates given the various concrete mix design, densities, finishes, and porosity conditions on each project Hot Weather Procedures In hot weather, the casting slab must be flooded with water to reduce its porosity and cool it down prior to the first bond breaker application of (J-6). Thoroughly saturate the slab with water, and then squeegee off the excess, removing all the free standing water from the surface, then immediately proceed with applying the first application of the (J-6). Delaying the application of the bondbreaker after wetting of the slab will result in over penetration and lessen bondbreaker effectiveness and panel sticking may result. Prior to concrete placement wet down the casting slab with cool water; excessive water should be blown out immediately prior to the concrete placement. Take care when placing concrete to avoid abrading or scouring the bond breaker on the casting bed as braded or scoured spots or areas may result in stuck panels. Discharge the concrete into previously placed fresh concrete. Drying Time Approximately 2 hours at 21°C. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and thicker bondbreaker coats will extend the dry time. Clean Up Tools and Equipment Use: Mineral Spirits, Naphtha, Xylol Estimated Coverage First Coat 9.8 m2/l Second Coat 13.5 – 17.2 m2/l The above recommended coverage rates are averages based on average site and concrete conditions. Complete and uniform coverage of the casting slab varies considerably with variations in the placing, curing, concrete mix design, density, finishing, and site specific ambient conditions. It is not possible for the recommendations provided by this data sheet to accommodate and account for all variables associated with the coverage rate and application of the bondbreaker. It is the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the applied coverage rates and overall application of the bondbreaker is commensurate with the specific site variables and conditions. Packaging 208 L drums and 20 L pails.

Storage The (J-6) should be stored in a tightly secured original factory container. Store in the horizontal position to prevent moisture accumulation on the drum head. Keep from freezing. Limitations Avoid contamination by storing containers in clean, dry area and keeping lids tightly sealed. The shelf life of (J6) is 12 months when properly stored. Do not spray on reinforcing steel. Not recommended when concrete mix designs using fly ash or other pozzolonic materials without first contacting the Technical Services Dept. for specific recommendations. Fly ash can result in slower concrete strength development. Failure to observe specific application rates and procedures may lead to sticking panels. Not recommended for application to broom finished or otherwise rough, porous or weak unsound concrete. Do not apply in rain or if rain is forecast within 12 hours of the application. Casting slab surfaces exposed to rain may require reapplication of the bondbreaker at a coverage rate at 13.5-17.2 m2/l. Do not apply below 40°F (4°C) or when ambient temperatures are expected to fall below 40°F (4°C) within 12 hours. Not recommended for application to casting slab concrete that has been cured with curing blankets or plastic coverings without first removing the salts from the concrete’s surface before application of the bondbreaker. Surface salts can result in surface defects. Application in two thin coats rather than one thick coat will reduce the dry time. Properly applied, casting beds and tilt panels can normally be coated or sealed after appropriate cleaning and or surface preparation of the surfaces. The manufacture of the coating, paint, sealer, adhesive or other subsequent treatments should be consulted for specific substrate cleaning and preparation requirements and instructions prior to painting. Over application can lead to excessive transfer to the panels and potentially cause problems with subsequent paint adhesion. A mock up test panel and casting surface of any subsequent application of paint, coatings, sealers, hardeners or other membrane forming treatments should





always be applied and tested to verify proper coating adhesion and adequate cleaning and surface preparation of the tilt panels. Improper concrete mix designs, overly porous or weak casting slab concrete, failure to properly finish and/or cure the concrete and/or uneven or improper application and insufficient mixing of the bondbreaker can lead to panel sticking. Precautions Harmful if swallowed. DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. If swallowed contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre immediately (Australia 13 1126; New Zealand 03 4747000) and show container, label or MSDS.

Avoid contact with skin or eyes, wear protective clothing. If eye contact occurs, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water, continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor or for at least 15 minutes.

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SWALLOWED• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.• Observe the patient carefully.• Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.• Avoid giving milk or oils.• Avoid giving alcohol.• If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible aspiration of vomitus.

EYE■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:• Wash out immediately with fresh running water.• Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.• Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.• Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKIN■ If skin contact occurs:• Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.• Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).• Seek medical attention in event of irritation.

INHALED• If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.• Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.• Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.• Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN■ For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons:• Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.• Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction,

obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should beintubated.

• Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury hasbeen reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungsexcrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance.

• A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detectthe presence of pneumothorax.

Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically orpharmacologically.

Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA• Foam.• Dry chemical powder.• BCF (where regulations permit).• Carbon dioxide.

■ Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat.Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to variousairborne concentrations.

NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT AROMATIC SOLVENT:STODDARD SOLVENT:TILT-LIFT SURE-LIFT WITH DYE J6D:

■ Odour threshold: 0.25 ppm.The TLV-TWA is protective against ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation and is recommended for bulk handling of

gasoline based on calculations of hydrocarbon content of gasoline vapour.

STODDARD SOLVENT:TILT-LIFT SURE-LIFT WITH DYE J6D:

■ For white spirit:Low and high odour thresholds of 5.25 and 157.5 mg/m3, respectively, were considered to provide a rather useful index of odour

as a warning property.The TLV-TWA is calculated from data on the toxicities of the major ingredients and is intended to minimise the potential for

PERSONAL PROTECTION

RESPIRATOR•Type A Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)

EYE• Safety glasses with side shields.• Chemical goggles.• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,

describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include areview of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical andfirst-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event ofchemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed atthe first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washedhands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent].

HANDS/FEET• Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.• Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:• frequency and duration of contact,• chemical resistance of glove material,• glove thickness and• dexterity.

CD 2011/4 Page 5 of 8Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

OTHER• Overalls.• PVC Apron.• PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.• Eyewash unit.• Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may produce

static electricity.• For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets), non sparking

safety footwear.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designedengineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions toprovide this high level of protection.The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilationthat strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED■ Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration into the lungs with the risk of chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences mayresult. (ICSC13733).Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.Ingestion of petroleum hydrocarbons can irritate the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and small intestine, and cause swellings andulcers of the mucous. Symptoms include a burning mouth and throat; larger amounts can cause nausea and vomiting, narcosis,weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow breathing, abdominal swelling, unconsciousness and convulsions. Damage to the heart musclecan produce heart beat irregularities, ventricular fibrillation (fatal) and ECG changes. The central nervous system can bedepressed. Light species can cause a sharp tingling of the tongue and cause loss of sensation there. Aspiration can cause cough,gagging, pneumonia with swelling and bleeding.

continued...


CD 2011/4 Page 6 of 8Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

EYE■ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.Direct eye contact with petroleum hydrocarbons can be painful, and the corneal epithelium may be temporarily damaged. Aromaticspecies can cause irritation and excessive tear secretion.The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this gives some warning of high vapour concentrations. Ifeye irritation occurs seek to reduce exposure with available control measures, or evacuate area.

SKIN■ Repeated exposure may cause skin cracking, flaking or drying following normal handling and use.The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.Aromatic hydrocarbons may produce sensitivity and redness of the skin. They are not likely to be absorbed into the body throughthe skin but branched species are more likely to.There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects.Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.

INHALED■ Inhaling high concentrations of mixed hydrocarbons can cause narcosis, with nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness. Low molecularweight (C2-C12) hydrocarbons can irritate mucous membranes and cause incoordination, giddiness, nausea, vertigo, confusion,headache, appetite loss, drowsiness, tremors and stupor. Massive exposures can lead to severe central nervous system depression,deep coma and death. Convulsions can occur due to brain irritation and/or lack of oxygen. Permanent scarring may occur, withepileptic seizures and brain bleeds occurring months after exposure. Respiratory system effects include inflammation of the lungswith oedema and bleeding. Lighter species mainly cause kidney and nerve damage; the heavier paraffins and olefins are especiallyirritant to the respiratory system. Alkenes produce pulmonary oedema at high concentrations. Liquid paraffins may producesensation loss and depressant actions leading to weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, convulsionsand death. C5-7 paraffins may also produce multiple nerve damage. Aromatic hydrocarbons accumulate in lipid rich tissues(typically the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) and may produce functional impairment manifested by nonspecific symptomssuch as nausea, weakness, fatigue, vertigo; severe exposures may produce inebriation or unconsciousness. Many of the petroleumhydrocarbons can sensitise the heart and may cause ventricular fibrillation, leading to death.Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include general discomfort, symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea,anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and may progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result inrespiratory depression and may be fatal.Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with coughing and nausea, central nervous depression withheadache and dizziness, slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.Exposure to white spirit may cause nausea and vertigo.Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal handling, may be damagingto the health of the individual.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS■ Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following.Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupationalexposure.Constant or exposure over long periods to mixed hydrocarbons may produce stupor with dizziness, weakness and visual disturbance,weight loss and anaemia, and reduced liver and kidney function. Skin exposure may result in drying and cracking and redness ofthe skin. Chronic exposure to lighter hydrocarbons can cause nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy, bone marrow dysfunction andpsychiatric disorders as well as damage the liver and kidneys.Immersion of the hands and forearms in white spirits may quickly result in inflammation of the skin and follicles. Workersexposed to white spirit have reported nausea and vomiting and one worker has been reported to develop aplastic anaemia, bonemarrow depression and this person later died from septicaemia. Bone marrow depression may be due to the presence of compoundstoxic to it, for example, benzene.Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS].

TOXICITY AND IRRITATION■ for petroleum:This product contains benzene which is known to cause acute myeloid leukaemia and n-hexane which has been shown to metabolize tocompounds which are neuropathic.This product contains toluene.This product contains ethyl benzene and naphthalene from which there is evidence of tumours in rodentsCarcinogenicity: Inhalation exposure to mice causes liver tumours, which are not considered relevant to humans.

Sure Lift Water Based (J-6WB) Water Based Bond Breaker Technical Data Sheet



29th April 2009 For Commercial / Industrial Use Only Page 1 of 3

Product description SURE‐LIFT J‐6 WB is a liquid, V.O.C. compliant, water‐based, reactive and membrane forming bondbreaker for use in tilt wall construction. J‐6 WB is a special formula of polymers and propriety ingredients designed to provide clean, easy lifting of tilt panels. J‐6 WB has a fugitive dye for ease of visual inspection during application and is also available without the dye upon special request. Use J‐6 WB is designed to allow for easy lifting of tilt wall panels from properly designed, finished and cured concrete casting beds. Benefits • Water Based • Very low V.O.C. • Panels lift cleanly • Minimal panel residue • Resists construction foot traffic VOC Less than 100 grams per litre. NOTE: Prior to application, read and follow all current (verify literature is current) literature instructions, limitations and precautions in this data sheet, on the MSDS and on the label of the container prior to use. The instructions provided by this technical data sheet to general average site conditions such as concrete mix designs, finishing techniques, and site ambient conditions. Test applications should always be made by the end user prior to overall use of the bondbreaker. This is at a minimum necessary to verify that the amounts of bondbreaker purchased and anticipated to be applied is sufficient to result in the correct application coverage rates and end performance of the product based upon the specific site conditions. The concrete casting slab, waste slabs and tilt wall panels must be properly designed, finished and cured in accordance with industry standards and guidelines. Spray Equipment The (J‐6WB) Bondbreaker must be applied by a high quality “low‐pressure pump‐up type sprayer” such as manufactured by Chapin or others. The tip size must be able to produce a well atomized spray pattern. The sprayer must be kept under sufficient pressure to correctly atomize the (J‐6WB) without streaming, tailing, or spitting. A 1.9 litre/minute tip is generally

recommended for most applications. The use of an improper sprayer, a dirty sprayer, lowers than adequate pressure or wrong tip can result in an uneven application, and either over or under application. APPLICATION Mixing Thoroughly agitate the J‐6 WB prior to each use. Each bondbreaker drum will be supplied with an integral drum mixer. Use only the built in drum mixer to achieve proper mixing. Proper mixing of the bondbreaker prior to use is extremely important. The bondbreaker drum must be in a vertical position to effect proper mixing. Vigorously mix each drum continuously for a minimum of 3 minutes. Re‐mix if left to set overnight. Failure to properly mix and keep the bondbreaker mixed over time will result in sticking panels The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the J‐6 WB protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.). First Bondbreaker Coat The casting bed should be free of all foreign material, salts, laitance and the (J‐6WB) protected, while drying, from all contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt, etc.). Just prior to placing the reinforcing steel, and within two weeks of pouring the panels, spray apply the first bondbreaker application of (J‐6WB) at 9.8m2/L to the point of rejection. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. Second Bondbreaker Coat Wait until first coat dries, approximately 2 hours depending on temperature and humidity, and apply a second coat at right angles to the previous coat. Coverage for the second coat will typically be 13.5‐17.2 m2/L. If light or white spots appear within 10‐40 minutes after spraying, those areas are extra porous and should be fogged with water followed by a reapplication of the (J‐6WB) 13.5‐17.2 m2/L. Specific site conditions may dictate coverage rates other than the normal recommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly. The number of bondbreaker coats and coverage rates necessary to achieve a complete uniform coverage is highly dependent on the concrete casting slab mix design as well as its inherent porosity, finishing techniques, and other related site specific ambient conditions. Adequate bondbreaker application is in large part dependent upon development of a uniform soap like feel of the bondbreaker treated surface as





well as beading of water. Bondbreaker can also be checked by rolling up a small ball like amount under thumb pressure. Extremely porous or rough casting slabs will necessitate successive additional coats of bondbreaker to achieve a consistent uniform membrane of the correct coverage rate and membrane thickness. Extremely porous or otherwise absorptive slabs can also be fogged with water to a saturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application of bondbreaker. Bondbreaker Test To verify the integrity of the bondbreaker coat, sprinkle water on the casting bed. (Water should bead up as on a freshly waxed automobile). The applied, dried material should have soap like feel, uniformly over the substrate. The application should appear uniform and continuous, with light areas requiring re‐application. Failure to verify proper uniform application and coverage rates can result in panel sticking. Testing must be performed over a large enough surface area in an adequate testing frequency to provide accurate and meaningful results. It is entirely the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the bondbreaker has been evenly and uniformly applied at the recommended application/coverage rates given the various concrete mix design, densities, finishes, and porosity conditions on each project Hot Weather Procedures In hot weather, the casting slab must be flooded with water to reduce its porosity and cool it down prior to the first bond breaker application of (J‐6WB). Thoroughly saturate the slab with water, and then squeegee off the excess, removing all the free standing water from the surface, then immediately proceed with applying the first application of the (J‐6WB). Delaying the application of the bondbreaker after wetting of the slab will result in over penetration and lessen bondbreaker effectiveness and panel sticking may result. Prior to concrete placement wet down the casting slab with cool water; excessive water should be blown out immediately prior to the concrete placement. Take care when placing concrete to avoid abrading or scouring the bond breaker on the casting bed as braded or scoured spots or areas may result in stuck panels. Discharge the concrete into previously placed fresh concrete. Drying Time Approximately 2 hours at 21°C. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and thicker bondbreaker coats will extend the dry time.

CLEAN UP For tools & equipment use warm, soapy water. After the product dries, solvents such as xylene or mineral spirits may be necessary to remove the product. Estimated Coverage First Coat 9.8 m2/L Second Coat 13.5 – 17.2 m2/L The above recommended coverage rates are averages based on average site and concrete conditions. Complete and uniform coverage of the casting slab varies considerably with variations in the placing, curing, concrete mix design, density, finishing, and site specific ambient conditions. It is not possible for the recommendations provided by this data sheet to accommodate and account for all variables associated with the coverage rate and application of the bondbreaker. It is the contractor’s responsibility to verify that the applied coverage rates and overall application of the bondbreaker is commensurate with the specific site variables and conditions. Packaging 208 L drums and 20 L pails. Storage The (J‐6WB) should be stored in a tightly secured original factory container. Store in the horizontal position to prevent moisture accumulation on the drum head. Keep from freezing. Limitations Avoid contamination by storing containers in clean, dry area and keeping lids tightly sealed. The shelf life of (J6) is 9 months when properly stored. Do not spray on reinforcing steel. Never apply bondbreaker unless it has been thoroughly and properly mixed before use. Not recommended when concrete mix designs using fly ash or other pozzolanic materials. Fly ash can result in slower concrete strength development. Failure to observe specific application rates and procedures may lead to sticking panels. Not recommended for application to broom finished or otherwise rough, porous or weak unsound concrete. Bondbreaker should be re‐mixed at the start of each day.





Do not apply in rain or if rain is forecast within 12 hours of the application. Casting slab surfaces exposed to rain may require reapplication of the bondbreaker at a coverage rate at 13.5‐17.2 m2/l. Do not apply below 4°C or when ambient temperatures are expected to fall below 4°C within 12 hours. Not recommended for application to casting slab concrete that has been cured with curing blankets or plastic coverings without first removing the salts from the concrete’s surface before application of the bondbreaker. Surface salts can result in surface defects. Application in two thin coats rather than one thick coat will reduce the dry time. Properly applied, casting beds and tilt panels can normally be coated or sealed after appropriate cleaning and or surface preparation of the surfaces. The manufacture of the coating, paint, sealer, adhesive or other subsequent treatments should be consulted for specific substrate cleaning and preparation requirements and instructions prior to painting. Over application can lead to excessive transfer to the panels and potentially cause problems with subsequent paint adhesion. A mock up test panel and casting surface of any subsequent application of paint, coatings, sealers, hardeners or other membrane forming treatments should always be applied and tested to verify proper coating adhesion and adequate cleaning and surface preparation of the tilt panels. Improper concrete mix designs, overly porous or weak casting slab concrete, failure to properly finish and/or cure the concrete and/or uneven or improper application and insufficient mixing of the bondbreaker can lead to panel sticking. Precautions Harmful if swallowed. DO NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. If swallowed contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre immediately (Australia 13 1126; New Zealand 03 4747000) and show container, label or MSDS.

Avoid contact with skin or eyes, wear protective clothing. If eye contact occurs, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water, continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor or for at least 15 minutes.

MATERIAL DATATALL OIL FATTY ACIDS:WATER:

■ No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

J6WB:None assigned.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

EYE• Safety glasses with side shields.• Chemical goggles.• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A

written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for eachworkplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class ofchemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained intheir removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begineye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at thefirst signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workershave washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or nationalequivalent].

HANDS/FEET• Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.• Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.NOTE:• The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing

gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.• Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of glovesinclude:• frequency and duration of contact,• chemical resistance of glove material,• glove thickness and• dexteritySelect gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or nationalequivalent).• When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher

(breakthrough time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent)is recommended.

• When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 3 or higher (breakthrough timegreater than 60 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.

• Contaminated gloves should be replaced.Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protectiveequipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or yourOccupational Health and Safety Advisor.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independentof worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.The basic types of engineering controls are:Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the workerand ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can removeor dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match theparticular process and chemical or contaminant in use.Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of overexposure exists, wear SAAapproved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation inwarehouse or closed storage areas.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED■ The material has NOT been classified by EC Directives or other classification systems as "harmful byingestion". This is because of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still bedamaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (eg. liver,kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on dosesproducing mortality rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tractdiscomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificantquantities is not thought to be cause for concern.

EYE■ Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact withthe eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).

SKIN■ The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (asclassified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposurebe kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.

INHALED■ The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (asclassified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposurebe kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS■ There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitisationreaction in some persons compared to the general population.
