grades, classes, and sizes required for Project according to test methods indicated.
B. Test Criteria: Testing shall be performed by a qualified independent testing agency based
on the following criteria:
1. Design wind velocity at Project site is indicated on drawings.
2. Heights of window units above grade at window centreline are indicated on or can be
determined from the Drawings. Consult with the Engineer, if necessary, to confirm
required loading and test pressures.

C.
2.
Plate to plate joints of glass are sealed with silicone sealant. Joint dimensions shall be
designed to be compatible with sealant properties and live load movement of the
structure.
3.

supporting building structure and any assembly supports erected by others, checking
line, level and fixing points. Report immediately to the Engineer if the structure is
unsuitable for structural glazing.
2. Coordinate survey for structural glazing with any other survey(s) for adjacent cladding.
D.
Structural Glazing:
1. Set out glazing straight, parallel, and truly aligned in level and plane. Orientate glass
panes or units to ensure uniformity of appearance.

to the following:
a.
Not more than 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) total deviation for member at any location.
b.
Not more than 3 mm (1/8 inch) change in deviation for member for 3 m (10 foot)

Glazing Systems Design Guide.
Manufacturer's Field Services: Field engineer from curtain wall manufacturer shall visually
inspect the system at the following stages to ensure compliance with manufacturer's
recommendation for installation.
1.
Prior to erection, verify structural support system is within tolerances and proper
alignment.
