Preliminary remark:
▪
The terms 'vertical' and 'horizontal' (e.g. referring to
the diagonal crosses) are always used here with ref-
erence to their installation situation in the finished,
upright tower.
▪
The job of erecting the load-bearing tower begins
with the bottom (i.e. first) 'storey'.
Erecting the first storey

Having regard to the instructions given above, place
the tower frames on their sides on timber supports
(min. 4cm high).

Basic rule:
To maintain correct geometry, horizontally placed
Diagonal crosses 12.xxx or shear-rigid planking units
must be fitted in the following cases:
▪
in the bottom and top 'storeys'
▪
every 10 m
▪
in between as required, e.g. where
- there is a horizontal restraint for the tower
(even a temporary one)
- local loads need to be transferred (e.g. from a
bracket or from attaching the tower to the crane
when it is assembled in the horizontal)
