DANTE TISI SITE VISIT

Buenos Dias from Argentina!  This week we traveled to Buenos Aires to review the completed panels, in process fabrication, and conduct a test “fit up” and installation training at the Dante Tisi plant.  Dante Tisi will begin delivering panels to the jobsite at the end of February.  The images below show one completed panel (+/- 150 lbs.) of the 3930 panels that will be used to clad the Exhibition Hall.  The mockup was used to test the installation process which will include a crane to support the panel while 4 persons (in boom lifts) align and install each panel.
