The installation is the millimetric placement of the precast façade elements, which have been completed, using steel carrier anchors and dowels, faithful to the application made. This stage, in which the final appearance of the structure is given, has preparation, connection and finishing stages in itself.
* Preparation: Mobile or stationary crane systems are needed to lift the precast panels transported to the construction site to the points where they will be installed. When applying to machinery that has come in mobile crane systems, rail and controlled crane assembly are used in fixed applications. As a result of the static calculations performed, rails are installed in the appropriate place and put into use after the tests.
* Connection: Connection to the façade is made with steel fasteners and dowel. These materials, which are manufactured by precalculations, should be covered with zinc and taken precautions against rust and decay. It is very easy to predetermine the axle and opening values with the help of the marking method, which is characterized as an application. Experienced personnel make connections without errors thanks to these values.
* Finishing: Silicone, façade repair and paint are made to the joint ranges in the last step remaining to the delivery of the work. Joints should be in the range of 8 millimeters to 10 millimeters. First, a filler called a wick is applied to prevent the silicone from cracking, then special silicone is applied. This application increases strength as it gives the panels the ability to stretch and move among themselves. Superficial roughness is applied after the polymer additive repair mortar is removed. Thanks to this step, also called attendance, all undetected errors are uncovered and eliminated. The process is completed by using specially developed paint for precast products, where color selection is made according to customer demand.
