Fractured Granite Panels
Waterpark at Westside Tennis Club in Houston, TX. FG panels installed using every known method: backfilling with concrete, welding to a structural steel frame, bolting to existing concrete walls and free standing castings. The pictures below illustrate these methods.
How structure is set-up for concrete backfill.
Allthread is used to secure to a rebar structure.
Using expansion bolts, yellow lathe holds mortar to hide bolts.
Castings have threaded inserts for bolts that are welded to a steel structure using angle iron.
Plastic lathe and zip ties eliminate potential for rust common with metal lathe and tie wire.
