As an important form of display of urban public space and project themes, large-scale stainless steel sculptures have extremely high requirements for design and implementation. This article will analyze in detail how to control the quality and progress of a large-scale sculpture from the early communication of the project to the final installation to ensure the implementation of the project.
Preliminary design and communication
Project demand research
At the start of the project, we must first fully communicate with the customer to understand the design intent, project positioning and budget requirements to ensure that the subsequent plan meets the actual needs
Preliminary plan and effect confirmation
According to customer needs, formulate a preliminary design plan including sketches and conceptual renderings, and then discuss with the customer repeatedly to determine the design details
3D modeling and visualization
In the design stage, high-precision 3D modeling software (such as Rhino, 3ds Max, or Revit) is used to design the sculpture in detail, which not only realizes the accurate restoration of the appearance, but also analyzes the structural strength and center of gravity stability. In addition, Vincentaa will partially enlarge and simulate the important connection points of the product during the 3D modeling process to confirm that the welding process meets the specification requirements, thereby providing detailed data support for subsequent construction.
Manufacturing link
Material selection and pretreatment
Choose the most suitable product material according to the project environment and visual requirements, and conduct strict quality inspection and pretreatment of raw materials
Process design
Including laser cutting, welding, grinding and surface treatment processes, each step is carried out in accordance with international standards to ensure that the finished product can stand the test of time
Mold manufacturing and trial samples
Before large-scale production, mold testing and trial sample evaluation are carried out to promptly discover and solve problems that may be encountered during the production process
Transportation, installation and on-site coordination
Transportation plan formulation
Develop a detailed transportation plan considering the volume, weight and transportation route of the sculpture, and select a suitable professional logistics company to cooperate in completing the transportation. Large sculptures often face multiple tests such as size, weight and road conditions during transportation. At the beginning of the project, we will combine the precise dimensions derived from the 3D model to formulate a dedicated customized transport rack and shockproof packaging design.
On-site installation and technical guidance
During the on-site installation stage, our construction team will assemble the sections according to the digital installation plan made in advance, and use laser levels and total stations to accurately locate each section to ensure the balance and beauty of the overall splicing.
Final commissioning and acceptance
After the installation is completed, strict commissioning and testing will be carried out, and joint acceptance with the customer will ensure that the sculpture achieves the expected goals in terms of lighting effect and structural safety
So what common problems will occur throughout the project process?
How to deal with the problem that the design drawings are not detailed enough?
It is recommended that customers provide as detailed information as possible in the early stage, and the technical team can take the initiative to supplement suggestions to ensure seamless connection of subsequent construction
How to protect large sculptures from damage during transportation?
Design special transportation packaging and equipment in advance, and use professional monitoring measures to minimize the risk of damage
How to make timely adjustments when encountering sudden construction problems?
Reserve a certain amount of time and funds as a project buffer, while keeping customer communication transparent and adjusting the plan in time.
