the lining, levelling and plumbing. The equipment will include jacks, tirfor-type wire<br />

pullers with wires, straining screws, wedges, piano wires, and heavy plumb bobs with<br />

damping arrangements, all in addition to the level and simple theodolite which are<br />

needed for the basic check.<br />

It is necessary to do the lining and levelling check before final bolting up is done.<br />

In practice this means that it must be done immediately following erection since it<br />

is inefficient to slacken off bolts already tightened in order move the steelwork<br />

about. There is no way that erection can go ahead until the braced bay is bolted up,<br />

and that cannot be done until it is level and plumb.
