In an environment with potentially high wind loads – combined with large structural openings – we stepped up from our standard 52mm curtain wall system to a stronger 62mm specification.
This helped meet design loads and also carry the extra weight of the higher specification glass required for this landmark complex in the Belize capital city.
Raked screens created more of an impressive feature for the glazing than standard rectangular screens to match the centre’s prestigious status.
Due to the high public capacity of the centre, we provided a vast number of steel fire exit doors as well as glazed entrance doors as part of our project brief.
