Miami-Dade Hurricane Testing for Normans Cay Project: A Success!
Our custom-designed façade for the Normans Cay project, successfully passed the Miami-Dade Test, meeting and exceeding the stringent Florida hurricane resistance standards!
The testing was done at Blackwater Testing Facility in Italy, where our façade underwent simulations of nature’s extreme conditions:
💥 Missile impact on glass and aluminum
🌀 Static and cyclic loads (9,000 cycles of positive and negative pressure)
🌊 Air and water penetration
💨High-velocity winds
🔒 Forced entry after glass breakage
An additional scope has been awarded to Glassline for Jawharat Al Riyadh Mall project. Glassline has been entrusted with the Design, Engineering, Fabrication, and Supply of the 11,500 m² Roof Skylight (single-layer structure & glass) and the Funnel (single-layer structure without glass) in the Volcano Area . This includes the Single Layer Structure CSL system , along with aluminum profiles, nodes, connections, and all essential fixing components.
Air Infiltration/Exfiltration Test…✔️PASSED Water Penetration Test…✔️PASSED Impact Resistance - Soft and Hard Body…✔️PASSED We are thrilled to announce the accomplishment of the PMU Testing for the Mohammed VI International University & Hospital project using WICONA Middle East system. The test has passed in all parameters from the first attempt, and we're ready to proceed with our works!
The performance mock-up of the PDP3 Project has successfully passed all dynamic and static tests in Farabough Engineering USA, outperforming in some instances the test requirements. In particular, during the Dynamic Seismic test done according to AAMA 501.4, our facade reached an ultimate value of 150mm, whereas the requirements stipulated 25mm left-back to position-25mm right-back to position.
