<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
The diagonal bracing is usually cable or round rod. It should always be installed as shown on the erection<br />
drawing and should be tensioned so that the building will not sway or rock when the wind blows. Care should<br />
be taken, however, not to over tighten and bend the structural members. The workman should watch the<br />
structural members carefully as he tightens the bracing.<br />
Occasionally the bracing in the wall of a building cannot be installed in the specifi ed bay because of doors or<br />
other complications. Usually these can be moved to other bays without affecting the structural integrity of the<br />
building. However, before moving any wind bracing check with RBS. Never modify a RIGID building without<br />
fi rst notifying RIGID in writing.<br />
