Field Inspection of Curtain Wall
-
Following are the routine procedures for field inspection of the curtain wall installation. These procedures are carried out by the Superintendent, Project Manager, Field crew lead man, Glazing crew, or Insulation crew
-
-Embeds are inspected by Project Superintendent during the initial framing of the slabs to make sure that the layout is per the embed drawings furnished by JAMCo. Any questions are addressed and corrected.
-The aluminum tee's and steel anchors are installed per the layout required to match the shop drawings. Any questions are addressed and corrected
-The steel anchors are tack welded in place per the layout. The mulls are installed and held into place by temporary drill flex screws. After checking to make sure everything is correct per the layout, and any adjustments made, the welding of the steel anchors is completed. Inspection of the welds is ongoing during the installation process.
-The curtain wall is adjusted to its proper elevation, and bolts installed to secure the mulls to the anchors. Inspection of the installation is on-going by the lead man, superintendent, and project manager.
-The prep crew installs the gasket, setting blocks, weep baffles, and are instructed to make sure bolts, anchors, and welds are installed properly. Any questions are brought to the attention of the lead man and superintendent. Corrections are made if necessary.
-The glazing crew is instructed to make sure that all anchors and bolts are installed before setting the glass. Verify dril-flex screws are removed before installing glass at wind load clip area. Any questions are brought to attention of the lead man, and superintendent.
-The installation crew is told to look at each anchor to make sure bolts are installed before covering up the wall.
- Shop Quality Control Logs available upon request. -
Any time during the installation there are questions that the superintendent feels that our in house engineers need to be involved, they are contacted. If JAMCo's PE needs to be involved they are contacted. Field corrections are made per engineers directions.
