Scope: 73,000 square feet of comprehensive building envelope systems, including metal framing, sheathing, specialized windows, and waterproofing, all integrated into prefabricated wall panels with typical module dimensions of 12′ x 32′.
Customer’s Needs: The project required precise fabrication for complex geometries, sophisticated tint-shifting windows, and meticulous logistics coordination to overcome limited overhead crane capacity on-site.
Solution: ELRO Manufacturing developed an innovative prefabrication strategy, incorporating just-in-time delivery to optimize on-site resources and streamline logistics.
Partnering with N-RG Cladding, our engineering team reduced fabrication labor by 15% through process optimization for over 270 unique panel geometries.
The 3mm aluminum panels, finished with a custom three-coat PVDF Kynar paint, achieved superior quality while meeting the ambitious architectural vision.
