Handling 2260mm materials presents unique challenges due to their length, but streamlined techniques ensure flawless results. Focus on precision planning and leveraging gravity for stability during installation.
Precision Measurement Protocol
Verify dimensions using laser measuring tools across multiple points. Account for thermal expansion by adding 2-3mm clearance gaps at joints. Document measurements diagonally to detect structural inconsistencies.
Material Handling Strategies
- Vertical transportation: Use scaffold-mounted pulley systems instead of manual lifting
- Support spacing: Install temporary braces at 750mm intervals to prevent sagging
- Edge protection: Apply reinforced corner guards before moving
Installation Sequence Optimization
Position components using temporary alignment jigs with micrometer adjustments. Secure midpoint first, then work outward in alternating sequence to distribute stress evenly. For wall applications, utilize vacuum lifters to maintain positioning during fastening.
Fastening Solutions
- Structural adhesives: Apply epoxy-based compounds for continuous load transfer
- Mechanical fixings: Use staggered rivet patterns at 300mm centers with oversized washers
- Expansion control: Install slotted brackets with 10mm travel capacity
Final verification requires checking true alignment with digital inclinometers. Address any deviation exceeding 1.5mm per meter immediately using adjustable shimming systems before permanent fixation.
