SOLUTION

First, LCG came up with a design for the curtain wall that would allow us to pre-assemble and glaze our curtain wall in the controlled environment of our 20,000 sq. ft. production facility. This approach allowed us to produce interlocking individual units that were fabricated, glazed, and assembled, then loaded onto one of our 30 ft. long 5th wheel trailers, hauled to the jobsite, and lifted into the openings by crane and LCG’s large remote controlled suction cup machine. With this approach we greatly reduced the amount of time spent in the field, therefore making us more competitive, and improved quality control by fabricating, glazing and assembling in a more controlled and efficient shop environment.

Second, we took the same approach with the punched openings which were also fabricated, assembled, and glazed in our shop. This was all facilitated by our computer assisted saw using software that optimized the usage of aluminum stock lengths, predetermined glass sizes, aluminum quantities required etc. while taking advantage of our own in house CAD, Athena, Revit, and other state of the art software programs and skilled in-house operators.
