Design of curtain walls, window glazing, architectural cladding, and structural glazing systems.

For curtain walls, window glazing and building cladding systems, a full range of design and technical documentation services are provided by the Professor Torsten Calvi Fassadentechnik companies.

Custom system design: Fully unitized, pre-glazed, and stick type curtain wall systems. Panelized skylight systems. Metal and stone architectural claddings. Point fixed structural glazing.

Tender drawings. Shop drawings. Fabrication Drawings. Aluminum and gasket extrusion die drawings. Three Dimensional studies of facade areas or connection details.

• Detailed structural analysis to accompany wall system designs. Automated computation and report generation for most common calculations such as the determination of effective radii of gyration, and buckling of split mullions.




• Finite element modeling of plates and solid elements (such as structural glass panes and cast brackets). Both negligible-displacement-theory algorithms, and iterative techniques for significant displacement conditions are offered.

• Analysis of dynamic pressure responses within ventilated cavities (to determine appropriate design pressure reductions).

Quantity take-offs:

• Cutting lists for glass and sheet materials.

• Bills of material quantities.

Method statements:

• Installation and assembly procedure manuals, with illustrations.
