Once the glass facade installation was completed, the team faced significant challenges in fixing the GI logo into the glass without damaging the structure or affecting the aesthetic look.
The main challenges included:
No direct drilling option : Glass panels could not be drilled or punctured to fix supports.
Load-bearing issue: The logo’s weight required stable mounting points, but the glass could not sustain the load directly.
Wind load and vibration concerns: The building’s open elevation exposed the logo to wind pressure, requiring strong yet invisible supports.
Aesthetic continuity:The design demanded a floating appearance of the logo without visible brackets or clamps.
Root Cause
During the planning phase, logo fixing provisions (like inserts or brackets behind glass) were not included before glass installation. As a result, post-installation fixing required alternative methods without modifying the façade.
Key Takeaways:
Effective planning and team management enabled meeting the tight deadline.
