Installing Panels:
- The pallets will be brought to the installation area from the storage. This will be done using a fork lift. Alternately a number of panels will be shifted to the installation area by truck and or a trailer to ensure that less time is spent in going back and forth between the storage and installation site.
- The panels weigh 6 lbs per sq ft and for a panel of 14 ft length the maximum weight of the panel is 84 lbs.
- The panel is then lifted, using crane truck, by slings secured at the center of the panel.
- The panel is lifted and lowered into place between 2 pre set beams. The panels are supported by the flange of the beam and the retaining angle that is loosely bolted to the beam.
- The worker after hand setting the panel into place reaches behind the panel to tighten the bolts thereby clamping the retention angles tightly to the back tray of the panel.
- The panels are installed in 2’ increments (vertically) to allow the worker to reach behind the panels to tighten all bolts.
- Once the first pass of 2 ft is complete from end to end, the steps are repeated to complete the wall installation.
