CONNECTIONS & FASTENERS

The right detail for each connection.

Review frame joints, module ties, panel fixings, flashings and foundation anchors as separate interfaces. Each diagram below sits beside the specification and inspection questions for that connection.

CONNECTION-BY-CONNECTION REVIEW

See the interface. Define the assembly.

The drawings explain relationships. They do not prescribe a bolt grade, fixing count, spacing or structural capacity. The selected model and approved connection drawing establish the construction detail.

C-01

Beam-to-post / frame joint

Design-review diagram · not to scaleReview the connected members and the complete bolt assembly.Geometry and quantities are symbolic. No dimensions, grades or capacities are specified.

Assembly to select: Structural bolt assembly or engineered welded connection
Specify for this interface: Bolt / nut / washer standard, grade, diameter, grip, hole geometry, joint class and installation method
Acceptance evidence: Approved connection drawing; fit-up and installation verification

Schematic relationship only; not a fixing schedule.

C-02

Module-to-module interface

Design-review diagram · not to scaleThe connector ties the selected module frames together; the enclosure joint needs its own treatment.Geometry and quantities are symbolic. No dimensions, grades or capacities are specified.

Assembly to select: Engineered connection plate, tie or connector
Specify for this interface: Load transfer, movement, fixing positions, access and enclosure reinstatement
Acceptance evidence: Connection layout and final alignment / fixing inspection

Connector type, quantity and movement allowance require the engineered detail.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK

Frequently asked questions.

Review the decisions that matter for this stage of your project.

Can you specify a universal bolt size for the frame?

No single size applies to every joint. The connection design must identify the connected members, actions, fastener standard and grade, diameter, grip, hole details and installation method.

What information is needed for a panel fixing?

Review panel build-up, support material and thickness, fixing length and drilling capacity, corrosion protection, washer and sealing compatibility against the selected manufacturer instructions.

Are foundation anchors part of the module package?

Do not assume so. Identify the plate interface, anchor design and supply responsibility. The local foundation design must consider actions, concrete, spacing, edge distances and installation.

Can a corner fitting be used as a lifting point?

Only if the selected configuration and approved handling instructions permit it. Confirm unit weight, centre of gravity, lift points, temporary restraints and a site-specific rigging plan.

Can the connection schedule be used for construction?

The downloadable schedule is a blank review aid. Final sizes, grades, spacing and acceptance criteria must come from issued project drawings and applicable manufacturer instructions.
