6 WALL ASSEMBLY – ENTIRE WALL SECTIONS
6.1 SETTING OUT WALL PANELS PRIORTO ASSEMBLYOrganise the Kingspan TEK Building System wallpanels into their designated positions on a levelsurface, (e.g. if the wall panel is resting on acombination soleplate it will not be level and thereforecannot be pulled together as an entire wall section)external face up, to match the detailed constructiondrawings provided with each project, as illustrated inFigure 13a. At this stage leave a 25 mm gapbetween wall panels to aid assembly.
Hint: Prior to undertaking this method of KingspanTEK Building System wall panel erection it isextremely important to plan the sequence of panelassembly so that site or building constraints canbe accommodated.
The Kingspan TEK Building SystemConstruction Manual
6.2 JOINING PANELS USING OSB3 SPLINESSlide the twin OSB3 splines into the Kingspan TEKBuilding System wall panel joints as illustrated inFigure 13b. Pull the wall panels together using aratchet strap having made sure the OSB3 splines arenot intruding into the 50 mm x 110 mm routedchannel at the top and bottom of the wall panels.
For this method of assembly it is recommended(although not essential) that expanding urethanesealant be injected into the rout through appropriatelysized holes, drilled into the joint at approximately300 mm centres as illustrated in Figure 18 anddescribed in section 6.10. (see page 17). This shouldbe done at a convenient time after the wall panelshave been fixed together from both sides (inaccordance with the fixing specification in Table 1,section 2.6) and lifted into their final position.

6.5 RAISING THE WALLApply a bead of expanding urethane sealant onto thebottomplate. Tilt the Kingspan TEK Building Systemwall section using either a crane or anotherappropriate piece of mechanical lifting equipmentand following the contractor’s method statement forsafe working. Attach temporary wall braces asrequired. To ensure the wall section is plumb andremains so, brace wall ends on the outside edge asillustrated in Figure 15. Attaching the wall braces tothe outside edge allows room on the floor surface forassembly of further wall sections.

6.8 ASSEMBLY, NAILING AND RAISING OFFURTHER WALL SECTIONSFurther Kingspan TEK Building System wall sectionsshould be constructed and erected in the samemanner as described in sections 6.1 to 6.6.
Hint: Ensure Kingspan TEK Building System wallsections are erected in the correct sequence so asto optimise the use of working space andresource.
Particular care should be exercised when assemblingthe wall sections that include either window or dooropenings. In certain situations some additionaltemporary bracing members may be necessary,nailed across breaks in Kingspan TEK BuildingSystem wall panel edges.
6.9 SEALING PANEL JOINTS IN WALL SECTIONSDrill 10 mm dia. holes at 200 mm centres along theKingspan TEK Building System wall panel joints asshown in Figure 18. Introduce expanding urethanesealant into the hole so that it expands into the paneledge rout to create an airtight joint.
NB This operation should only be undertaken whereapplication of the expanding urethane sealand cannotbe done in advance,
Figure 17 INSTALLING AND FIXING HEADPLATES
Figure 18 SEALING WALL PANEL JOINTS
6.7 INSTALLING HEADPLATESHeadplates tie the Kingspan TEK Building Systemwall panels together and provide a continuous solidsurface to support the first floor construction. Headplatejoints should be staggered so that they offset wallpanel joints by a minimum of 300 mm. All OSB3splines, timber posts and end timbers should notintrude into the routed channel that will accommodatethe headplate. Expanding urethane sealant should beapplied into the routed channel. The headplate shouldthen be located within this channel and fixed inaccordance with the fixing specification in Table 1,section 2.6 as illustrated in Figure 17.

8.2 INSTALLING FLOOR BEAMSInstall as previously described in section 7.
8.3 POSITIONING AND FIXING JOIST HANGERSONTO THE WALLS AND BEAMSMark out the location of all joists along the headplateof the ground floor wall panels and beams accordingto the design drawings. Fix joist hangers into theheadplate and beams at the marked locations, asillustrated in Figure 21. At all times reference shouldbe made to the joist hanger manufacturersrecommended installation instructions. These can befound in Appendix E.
8.4 INSTALLING FLOOR JOISTSJoists should be located into corresponding joisthangers and fixed in place in accordance with themanufacturers instructions. The top of the installedjoists should be at the same height as the top of theheadplate. This is illustrated in Figure 21.
Where floor joists bear directly over an internal wall,the joist should be fixed in position using 2 No.3.35 mm x 75 mm nails or as per joist manufacturersinstructions (see Appendix E).
For all other details and specifications refer to theappropriate manufacturers installation details andinstructions.
8.5 RIMBOARD/PLATFORM FRAME INSTALLATIONMark out the joist positions and fix the joists in place atthese locations by fixing through the bottom flange intothe headplate, ensuring that sufficient space is left for therimboard (usually between 32 and 60 mm thick). Attachthe rimboard to the ends of the joists and fix through therimboard into the headplate in accordance with thefixing specification in Table 1, Section 2.6. Duringassembly, use silicone to seal between the rimboard andthe headplate. This is illustrated in Figure 22.

8.7 FIXING BOTTOMPLATES FOR UPPERSTOREY WALLSThe bottomplates should be fixed through the OSB3deck into the headplate/rimboard in accordance withthe fixing specification in Table 1, section 2.6.The outer edge of the bottomplate should be inset 15 mm from the edge of the OSB3 deck so that theexternal OSB3 face of the upper storey KingspanTEK Building System wall panels will be flush.This is illustrated in Figures 24a and 24b.
8.6 INSTALLING FIRST FLOOR DECKWith the first floor joists in place, the 18 mm tongueand groove OSB3 deck is then installed.
Lay the OSB3 sheets in a staggered pattern,perpendicular to the joists and flush with the outside ofthe external OSB3 facing/rimboard. Immediately priorto installing the OSB3 sheets located around theperimeter of the building a thin layer of silicone sealant should be is applied to the top surface of theheadplate/rimboard to provide an airtight seal. This is illustrated in Figures 23a and 23b.
Fix the OSB3 sheets to the joists and headplate/rimboard in accordance with the fixing specificationin Table 1, section 2.6. At all times this should be inaccordance with the deck manufacturers installationinstructions (see Appendix E).

9 INSTALLING UPPER STOREY WALLPANELS, ATTIC JOISTS AND ROOF
BEAMS / PURLINS
9.1 HANDLING PANELSAll materials should be carefully lifted into position onsafe working platforms ready for installation, usingeither a crane or other appropriate mechanical liftingequipment. At all times refer to the contractors methodstatement for undertaking these types of procedures.
9.2 ERECTION OF WALL PANELSUsing a similar process as that described forKingspan TEK Building System ground floor walls,additional storeys may be constructed.
The uppermost Kingspan TEK Building System wallpanels are often fitted with additional bevelledwallplates to match the roof slope. All wall panelsrequire either a standard headplate or specially cutbevelled headplate, fixed into the factory cut rout inaccordance with the fixing specification in Table 1,section 2.6.
Hint: When erecting Kingspan TEK BuildingSystem gable wall panels, always start from thecentre (e.g. in line with the ridge beam) so whenthe ridge beam is installed it is straight.
Ensure that all wall panels are fully assembled andpermanently fixed in position prior to moving onto thenext stage of the erection. Once the first floor wallshave been erected, the scaffolding can be completedto full height.
Hint: Ensure that sufficient wall braces are used tostabilise the wall construction during the erectionof the final storey and that these remain in placeuntil the roof has been completed.
9.3 INSTALLING FLOORS FOR ROOM-IN-ROOFCONSTRUCTIONIn buildings with a room-in-roof floor, the floorconstruction should be installed in the normal wayensuring that the deck is fully fixed to the perimeterheadplate. A bevelled wallplate should then be fixedin position as shown in the detail below to provide anattachment for the roof panels. This is illustrated inFigure 25.

9.5 INSTALL TEMPORARY BRACES FOR PURLINSAND RIDGE BEAMAll roof beams should be held firmly in position usingtemporary bracing as illustrated in Figure 27 toprevent lateral deflection during the erection of theKingspan TEK Building System roof sections. Bracingshould be spaced at no more than 3.0 m centres.This temporary bracing can be removed once all roofsections have been fixed in their final positions.
9.4 INSTALLATION OF PURLINS/RIDGE BEAMSKingspan TEK Building System gable wall panelsoften support purlins and/or a ridge beam. Thesebeams are installed in exactly the same way as theywere for first floor beams (See section 7). Installationof purlins and ridge beams is illustrated in Figure 26.
For more complicated roof designs that incorporatehip or valley beams, reference should be made to theparticular project specification. Care should be takento ensure that all beams are connected together usingthe correct fixing or connector.

10 PREFABRICATION ANDINSTALLATION OF ROOF SECTIONS
10.1 LIFTING ROOF SECTIONS INTO POSITIONKingspan TEK Building System roof sections shouldbe lifted into position using a crane fitted with anadjustable chain as illustrated in Figures 28a and 28b.
Hint: Attach timber battens to the internal face ofthe Kingspan TEK Building System roof sectionsimmediately above the lines of support to act aslocators when positioning the roof and to facilitateattachment to the walls/beams. This is illustratedin Figure 28b.
Caution: Lifting and positioning roof sections or panels onto the roof manually should not be attempted.
To lift Kingspan TEK Building System roof sections,drill four holes (25 mm – 40 mm diameter) through theroof section making sure that the holes will not end upover a supporting wall or purlin. Insert a lifting strap intoeach hole, as illustrated in Figure 28a. The straps shouldspread the load through the use of a 50 mm x 50 mm x500 mm solid timber located beneath the roof section.
Caution: Under no circumstances should any sitepersonnel stand underneath or in line with a roofsection panel being hoisted onto a roof.

10.2 PREPARATION OF ROOF STRUCTURE TORECEIVE ROOF PANELSApply two beads of silicone sealant to all gable wallheadplates, bevelled wallplates, bevelled headplatesof dwarf walls and the bevelled faces of the ridge beam.
10.3 INSTALLATION OF ROOF SECTIONS
Hint: Silicone sealant should always be appliedbetween surfaces that are to be joined rather thanalong the edges of joints once fixed.
All Kingspan TEK Building System roof sectionsshould be accurately lifted into position (at the pitch ofthe roof) avoiding excessive sway. Care should betaken when lowering the roof section into position toavoid wiping off the silicone sealant.
Hint: Kingspan TEK Building System roof sectionjoint locations should be marked on the purlins,ridge beams, wallplates and bevelled headplatesof dwarf walls, so that the roof sections can bequickly positioned and aligned.
Roof sections should ideally be fixed in opposing pairsin order to control lateral loading and deflection asillustrated in Figure 29, although practically this is notalways possible. Also, ensure you apply two beads ofsilicone along the ridge between the roof sections toensure the joint is airtight. This is illustrated in Figure 29.
