Insulating glass panes of 5.0 x 2.3 m made of twice-laminated glass 16 mm thick and weighing about 925 kg had to be installed at a height of up to 45 meters as well as 18 mm thick enamelled special glass plates for the tower facing - and this in the 9° upward-sloping tower.

The Erdinger Moos Airport of Munich, Germany has got a new tower for Terminal 2.

Insulating glass panes of 5.0 x 2.3 m made of twice-laminated glass 16 mm thick and weighing about 925 kg had to be installed at a height of up to 45 meters as well as 18 mm thick enamelled special glass plates for the tower facing - and this in the 9° upward-sloping tower.

The Weidener specialist, Glas Zange (www.glas-zange.de), possessed the suitable machinery for producing insulating glass of 6.00 m x 3.21 m, underscoring the fact that even unconventional requirements like this tower glazing pose no problem for specialists.

For this glazing work, the German Building Employer’s Liability Insurance Association of Bavaria & Saxonia required the use of a vacuum lifting device which fulfills the draft standard prEN 13155. An essential requirement of the draft standard prEN 13155 for vacuum lifting devices is a redundant vacuum system with relevant monitoring functions. Each vacuum circuit must be able to hold the rated load with a two-fold safety.

2-circuit devices are not very widespread on the market. Pannkoke is a manufacturer that offers such vacuum lifting devices, having started early and intensively to deal with the issue of „redundant vacuum lifting devices“.

The Glas Zange company expanded its necessary machinery with a further vacuum lifting device for the tower glazing from Pankokke. A Kombi Akku-Device 7211-CeDe with maximum carrying capacity of 1200 kg was ordered for turning through +/- 90°. Additional adjustable supporting feet at the device secure the transport for such extreme glass superstructures like the insulating glasses used for the tower glazing without a risk of shifting the insulating glass structure. Through the combination of the additional counterweight unit „BALANCE 2“ from Pannkoke, the Zange company was able to execute glazings at angles of 80 to 100 ° under roof projections with a maximum projection of 1.5 m.

In addition to the vacuum lifting device Kombi 7211-CeDe for the large insulating glass panes, the smaller battery-operated vacuum lifting device Kombi 7211-VT from Pannkoke was also used. This device is also designed with the 2-circuit technology. With these two devices Messrs. Zange is in the position to solve almost every task in the glazing area in compliance with the draft standard prEN 13155. Because safety is very important at Glas-Zange, such investments pay off.

A giant mobile crane with a radio remote control supported the experienced staff of the Zange company as well as the Pannkoke vacuum lifting devices, enabling them to successfully execute the glazing at an inclination angle of 9°. For Glas Zange the investment decision in the latest device technology was the right step for safeguarding the future.

Spontaneous breakage in tempered glass due to Nickel Sulfide (NiS) inclusions remains a critical topic in the industry—this paper examines the risks, benefits, and effectiveness of heat soaking as a preventive measure across different markets.
In this experimental investigation, the surface and edge stress were measured on standardized format thermally toughened safety glass, with different edge processing and glass thicknesses from three different suppliers.
Can we state if the Heat Soak Test (HST) was done according to EN14179-1:2005 or not?
The German code for the design of glass structures, DIN 18008, was first published in its final version in 2010 and 2013; as several major changes were suggested, the periodical revision took longer than expected.
Understanding how glass behaves under high temperatures is essential for improving the safety and performance of glass structures exposed to heat and fire.
Vacuum insulating glass (VIG) has demonstrated competitive Ug-values (heat transfer coefficients) which show promise to further reduce energy consumption from buildings.
