SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Due to the unique combination of material and aesthetic requirements, the owner, architect and general contractor relied heavily on Tecta’s design capability to select systems and refine construction details. The partnership resulted in fewer constructability issues, and an improved final product. Sheet metal wall and soffit panels were the critical path of the schedule due to the civil work below. In order to complete the work on time Tecta staffed the project with fourteen sheet metal craftsmen, two shop fabricators, 135′, 60′ and 40′ aerial lifts, and four 42′ scissor lifts. ACM panels were fabricated in house due to the compressed exterior skin schedule. Only small areas were released to Tecta at a time, requiring 24 hour turn around form panel measurement to installation. Experienced panel fabricators and proper equipment in house facilitated the quick turn around. The owner required minimal oil canning on metal panels, and 20 ga.
