Fabricate and install exterior wall panels consisting of light gauge metal framing with Kingspan KarrierPanel™ insulated metal panels in our shop. The cladding was Kingspan Morin X-12 concealed fastener corrugated panel on the courtyard side and Kingspan Morin standing seam siding on the campus side. It was constructed in combination of four different radii, which complicated the manufacturing and placement of the panels, but resulted in a beautiful finished appearance.
This project is a unique addition to our Project Gallery. Our field crew installed a Knight Wall furring system over block. After that step, we attached prefabricated Rheinzink® wall panels to the furring system on-site. Rheinzink® is a zinc, titanium and copper alloy. The resulting surface is durable, attractive, and low maintenance.
Fabricate and install approximately 400 ACM (aluminum composite material) cladded prefabricated exterior wall panels. Panels are white, beige and gray. Floor to ceiling windows were installed after the panels were hung and attached to the building frame. We finished this project in late 2018. Leasing of retail space and 322 rental apartments is nearly complete.
Prefabricate and install a rainscreen system consisting of aluminum composite metal (ACM) panels and Cembrit cladding over Kingspan Karrier Insulated Metal Panels (IMP) on steel stud framing. Cembrit is an engineered fiber cement composite panel reinforced with cellulose fibers for added strength. All of the panels are now attached to the building structure and the joints have been caulked. The contrasting stone work was supplied and installed by others, on Novinger’s prefabricated back-up wall panels.
Novinger’s Inc applied spray fireproofing material to the steel frame of the building. Our firm was also hired to install blast-resistant exterior wall panels on this project. Building Blocks GFRC in Florida manufactured the basic concrete-reinforced panels and then trucked them to our fabrication shop in Harrisburg PA. Our shop crews added insulation and welded additional steel blast plates, clips, and hangers to the panels. Our crews trucked the finished panels to the project site, hung them, and secured the panels to the building structure. Unique aspects of this contract included carefully inspecting the basic panels on arrival, performing the additional work on each panel, and safely moving very heavy panels (some over 8,000 pounds) in the shop and on the job site.
The old glazed curtain wall system was removed down to the structural steel frame. We replaced it with Kingspan KarrierPanel™ insulated metal panels covered by corrugated metal panels and architectural metal panels. Solar shading louvers were also attached. This extensive renovation challenged our estimating, design, and installation teams, but the finished building looks great and the customer has a beautiful, energy-efficient building ready for new tenants.
