UniQuad® – Translucent Window System

In addition to supplying products such as translucent skylights, canopies,
walkways, and translucent walls, Kingspan Light + Air is now offering a brand
new product, the UniQuad Translucent Window. This system offers the same quality and performance KLA is known for but gives Designers and Contractors another option when punched openings are present, thermal performance is required, and lead time are of the utmost importance.
Kingspan Light + Air has been able to design the UniQuad Window system with the same extraordinary performance of their award winning UniQuad unitized wall panel system; however, they have been able to pre-engineer this system to allow for extremely fast submittal leads time and quick product delivery.

Due to the pre-engineered nature of this system, please keep in mind that the system is bound to predetermined punched opening heights. Nevertheless, window lengths can span uninterrupted for as long as your project demands. All of the punched opening sections are factory assembled, further assisting to the products getting installed faster than any other comparable product on the market. All of this is accomplished without sacrificing any of the impressive UValue, SHGC, and Light Transmittance performance KLA is known for. We are extremely excited and pleased to be able to offer this system to the Architect and Contractor community immediately!

Welcome to the Team!

We sat down with our newst hire, Allan, to ask him a few questions:

What drew you to the Design & Construction Industry?

I always loved working with my hands and building stuff ever since I was a kid. The first project I built was a woodshed with my father. We did everything from pour the concrete, frame it, and put shingles on. It is what got me interested in the construction field and fueled my decision to earn my degree in Construction Engineering Management.

Before working at APEM, what was the most interesting or unusual job
you’ve ever had?

The most interesting job was when I was in the active duty Navy and deployed in support of a joint task force to help bolster the country of Jordan’s security and to suppress the influence of ISIS in the region. It was very rewarding to me to not only work with different branches of military, different nations militaries, as well as working with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.

What do you like to do when you are not working?

I like to spend time with family and enjoy working on the house. I also like hanging out in my shop building things. I want to build a kitchen table, I think that will be next on my list.

What are three items you’d take with you to a deserted island?

A knife, canteen, and a hammer. Everything else you can find or build.

What are three things still left on your bucket list?

Scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, see the Northern Lights, and take the family to Zion National Park

 

To all of our friends and customers;

As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, our top priority is the health of our team, our clients, and their families.

All in person meetings have been suspended for the time being but we are happy to meet with you via conference call or video chat.

Thank You very much for your patience and understanding! Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

COVID-19 Contributed to Sharp Decline in Completed Skyscrapers in 2020


It’s a given that the coronavirus pandemic has had wide-ranging impacts on construction projects large and small over the past 10 months. So, what about the construction of new buildings that share the defining characteristic of being superlatively tall?

As detailed in an annual report published earlier this month by the Chicago-headquartered Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), newly completed skyscrapers experienced a global decline of 20 percent in 2020 compared to the previous year due, both directly and indirectly, to the COVID-19 crisis.

Per the CTBUH, 106 new buildings qualifying as skyscrapers (200 meters/656-feet tall and up) joined the skylines of cities across the world last year. Of those 106 buildings, 21 of them qualified as “supertalls†at over 300 meters/984 feet. In 2019, the figure was 133 new skyscrapers, which is actually a dip from 2018 when the number of completed skyscrapers reached an all-time high of 148. The 2020 number is the lowest it has been since 2014 when 105 new skyscrapers were completed. The 21st-century kicked off with a mere 23 skyscrapers being completed in 2000 and has been gradually marching upward ever since with the number breaking the 50-plus threshold in 2008 (54) and the 100-plus threshold six years later in 2014.

Last year was also the first year since 2014 that a building over 500 meters/1,640-feet-tall was not completed.

As elaborated by the CTBUH, the 2019 decline was largely a factor of the Chinese government putting the kibosh on “weird architecture†and overly conspicuous buildings, including ultra-lanky ones. This mandate “constituted a strong factor that has persisted into 2020†according to the CTBUH, although coronavirus played a new and prominent role in dragging the numbers down by another 20 percent.

Still, China completed over half (56) of the tall buildings completed in 2020, followed by the United Arab Emirates (12, all of them in Dubai); the United States (ten); the United Kingdom (five), and India (three). In total, 66 percent of tall buildings completed across the globe in 2020 were in Asia.

In the report, CTBUH mentioned being “anecdotally aware†of nine projects in Brazil, India, and Malaysia that had their completion schedules pushed back to 2021 because of the pandemic; the report also pointed out the flurry of mandated work stoppages on construction projects across the United States throughout the first half of the year although these stoppages could not be directly correlated to any specific pushed-back completion dates for tall buildings. The report also called out quarrels over zooming and military conflicts as being the reason why some specific projects failed to reach completion.
