Crane Lift Glazing
What is Crane Lift Glazing?
Crane lift glazing is a method of installing large or heavy glass panels onto buildings or structures using a crane. It is often used for high-rise buildings or structures where manual installation of the glass panels is not feasible due to the height, size, and weight of the panels.
The process of crane lift glazing involves careful planning, coordination, and execution to ensure safety and efficiency. Before the installation, the glazing company will carry out a site survey to assess the site and ensure that the crane can safely access the area. They will also assess the size and weight of the glass panels to determine the type of crane and equipment needed for the installation.
Once the site survey is complete, the glazing company will work with the crane operator to plan the lift. This involves determining the best position for the crane, the route for the lift, and the safety measures required to ensure the safety of the workers, the public, and the surrounding property.
During the installation, the crane will lift the glass panels into position and carefully lower them onto the building or structure. The glazing team will then secure the panels in place using brackets, clips, or other fittings to ensure they are fixed securely to the building.
Crane lift glazing is often used for high-rise buildings or structures where the glass panels are too large or heavy to be installed manually. It is a safe and efficient method of installation that allows the glazing team to work quickly and accurately, while also minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.
One of the advantages of crane lift glazing is that it allows for the installation of large, complex glass panels that can transform the look and feel of a building or structure. This can include curved or irregularly shaped panels, as well as panels with complex patterns or designs.
However, crane lift glazing requires careful planning and execution to ensure safety and efficiency. The glazing company must work closely with the crane operator to ensure that the crane is positioned correctly, and that the glass panels are lifted and lowered safely and accurately. They must also ensure that the surrounding area is properly secured and that all necessary safety measures are in place.
