Dual curved stainless steel facade Discovery Slides is designed by a design studio stalled at Singapore International Airport's new Terminal 4, dual curved is the addition of curved curvature in different directions based on the original single curve. It's like cutting a piece from the surface of the circle, with more demand in terms of process.
The whole dual curved stainless facade takes 5 months for fabrication, which uses 4-6mm thickness stainless steel made by hand forging. Because its thickness adds a lot of difficulty to hand forging, but to some extent, more thick more flatness the surface, so that the mirror polished finish can be presented better. Meanwhile, due to the limited space on-site, we spent almost 4 months finishing the installation, at least one and a half months more than expected. The completed whole stainless steel facade which size is 20.7 meters long and 15.2 meters wide made of 316L stainless steel with surface high mirror polished and interior structure we used Q345 carbon steel.
This project is difficult to make and more difficult to install. But through various studies and in-depth discussions, we have done very well.
