To prevent damage to the sheets during transport and ensure packs are of a weight that is easily offloaded, the maximum and minimum sheet quantities in Table 9.2b apply.
RED numbers are not recommended as sheet lengths exceed maximum weight for logistic and manual handling reasons. ORANGE numbers can be used providing pack size and loading-out position consider manual handling distances.
Where SMD are detailing as part of the contract, sheet lengths are determined on the SMD layout drawing to suit the support configuration and building footprint.
The detailed drawings will be designed to provide the most effective use of the decking by minimising waste, reducing temporary propping requirements and considering Health & Safety concerns related to unloading and manual handling during installation.
Where possible, sheet lengths should be restricted to 7.5m for R51+, 8.0m for TR50/TR60+ and 10.0m for TR80+ due to manual handling restrictions.
For further guidance refer to industry best practice sheet SIG.04, developed in conjunction with HSE
