With the help of various renders and drone videos, Apple’s Campus 2 construction progress can be seen, however an invitation was sent out to Popular Science so that they could get to see the building’s unique features closely. A few stats are what we can say the pieces starts with the starting being that there are around 3000 glass sheets. The weight of the heaviest sheet is said to be 7000 pounds. It is said that in this project, the biggest challenge is said to be the glass.
As per was said by Apple, it is not the easiest way to construct the workplace of the using curved glass pieces which is said to be placed on the world’s latest structure made only from glass. However it is yet to be known as to what the company is doing by building the sweeping panels. Seele/Sedak is the glass manufacturers that Apple could rely on. They are also the names that are associated with retail store flagship of Apple located at George Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan that is located Sydney in Australia. The fabricating glass plans task which was given to the German firm is said to be 10 /12 feet in height and the width of the length is said to be 36 and 46 feet. If you look at the largest standard pane, it is said to be twice the length of that.
With the help of the tempering process, the curved shape is typically given to the glass while it is being manipulated. However the crystal clear panel may not always be the result of it. In order for the clarity to be preserved, another method was tried by the glass gurus. Nelli Diller, the Managing director of sedak/seele said that the curving of the glass was done during the final step of lamination.
