Curtainwall Shop Drawing
Curtainwall Shop Drawing & Facade Integration
Synvaartu provides comprehensive curtain wall documentation services, transforming complex architectural concepts into precise, fabrication-ready shop drawings. This case study highlights our ability to deliver high-accuracy system modeling and detailing for modern building envelopes.
Scope of Work
The project involved the development of a complete set of shop drawings for a curtain wall system, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic alignment with the architectural intent. Key deliverables included:
System Modeling: Creating detailed 2D/3D representations of the curtain wall grid.
Anchor & Bracket Detailing: Designing installation-ready hardware for reliable structural connections.
Mullion & Transom Layouts: Optimized configurations for efficient fabrication and on-site assembly.
Thermal & Weatherproofing: Integrated detailing for insulation, flashing, and sealants to ensure high performance and environmental protection.
Technical Specifications & Details
The case study focuses on several critical technical components:
- Panel Breakups: Precise quantification and sizing of glass and metal panels.
- Glass & Glazing Schedules: Detailed lists specifying glass types, thicknesses, and performance values.
- Connection Details: High-resolution sectional views showing the interface between the curtain wall and the primary building structure.
- Pressure Plate & Cover Caps: Detailed drawings for exterior finishing elements.
Challenges & Solutions
- Challenge: Managing complex geometries and ensuring clash-free integration with MEP and structural systems. Solution: Synvaartu utilized advanced CAD/BIM workflows to coordinate all components, reducing on-site errors and material waste.
- Challenge: Meeting strict thermal efficiency and weatherproofing standards. Solution: Detailed layouts for thermal breaks and moisture management systems (weep holes and flashing) were incorporated to meet project-specific environmental requirements.
Key Benefits Delivered
- Accuracy: Reduced re-work through precision detailing of every anchor and joint.
- Efficiency: Streamlined the manufacturing process with clear, plant-ready fabrication drawings.
- Compliance: All drawings were developed to align with local building codes and industry standards (such as ADA or thermal regulations).
