Taj Group recently completed a free-form structure for the administrative building of Abscoon Company in Babol, Iran. This project showcases the team’s expertise in utilizing H.S glass and self-supporting structures, reflecting similarities to previous successful endeavors.
Project Features
Utilization of H.S Glass
Taj Group selected Heat-Strengthened (H.S) glass for this project to ensure both durability and safety. The team used tempered and semi-tempered layers to enhance the structure’s resistance. This glass played a crucial role in the design of the free-form roof and façade, providing both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Design and Engineering Process
The design team at Taj Group carefully planned every aspect of this project, considering the structure’s complex forms and unique geometry. Since free-form structures require precision in triangulated designs, the engineers utilized advanced software to develop a 3D model. Their expertise allowed them to refine every detail before execution, ensuring a seamless construction process.
Self-Supporting Structures
Taj Group implemented self-supporting structural techniques to achieve the project’s distinctive form. The engineers designed and assembled complex spindle-shaped elements using advanced triangulation methods. They also coded each structural component before production, ensuring precise alignment during assembly.
Production and Pre-Construction Process
The engineering team first modeled and coded all structural elements using 3D software. After finalizing the design, they manufactured the components in a factory using cutting-edge equipment. Once production was complete, the execution team carefully assembled the structure on-site, following the precise specifications outlined in the design phase.
Project Challenges and Solutions
Challenges:
- Creating unique spindle-shaped forms while maintaining strength and aesthetics.
- Requiring high precision in the design and execution of the structure’s triangulation.
- Ensuring complete coordination between 3D plans and actual on-site execution.
Solutions:
- Employing advanced 3D software for design and simulation.
- Precisely coding all components before execution.
- Continuous supervision by the engineering team throughout production and execution phases.
Final Outcome
The successful completion of the Abscoon Company’s free-form structure exemplifies Taj Group’s technical and artistic capabilities in designing and executing free-form structures. The use of durable H.S glass and advanced design ensured not only safety but also enhanced the structure’s beauty and functionality.
This project underscores Taj Group’s commitment to delivering innovative and high-quality architectural solutions, reinforcing their position as leaders in the field of free-form structures.
