Together with premium glass manufacturer sedak, Heavydrive organised a test run for the installation of a pane measuring 14 metres long and 3.2 metres high with a weight of 1.4 tonnes. The guest at this tricky demonstration was a customer from Salt Lake City, USA.
The demand for extremely large panes continues to increase – on the American market too. Yet contractors are often unsure how to handle the installation of extremely large glass elements. Planning to use mega panes for his approximately 80 metre high construction project, the customer from Salt Lake City is on the look out an expert installation partner.
The test run in Gersthofen, Germany, including loading, assembly and dismantling, took a total of six hours. The preparation of the system in an extremely confined space tested the expertise of the employees.
The US customer was inspired by the professional demonstration. During his visit to the Heavydrive headquarters, he adjusted his specification to suit his project.
The Heavydrive staff also ensured the equipment was properly packaged and took care of the customs documents required to transport it overseas.
