Macy’s flagship

Macy’s flagship - mezzanine curved glass

Challenge

  • The curved glass comes from abroad and has 3 months lead time.

  • All the stainless steel fittings must be precisely welded ahead of time, where they belong.

  • So that when glass shows up, it fits perfectly on the fittings, and gets installed with no delay.

Solution

  • Cut metal jigs on the waterjet to replicate the radius of the glass.

  • Maintain an exact X,Y,Z coordinate system on the field ; do not lose the snapped lines during the 3 months lead time of the glass.

  • Weld each fittings at the location X, Y and Z that it is supposed to be.
