Beyond addressing critical fabrication steps, it is essential to establish procedures for proper transport, storage, handling, and installation of the completed assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Following fabrication, assembled panels are typically grouped by installation sequence and crated (bunked) for shipment. As the performance of prefabricated panel assemblies is often reliant on strategically placed sealant joints, and recognizing the time-sensitive nature of project schedules, it is important to avoid bunking or reorienting completed units until sealants are sufficiently cured to avoid damage due to premature movement. During bunking, panels should be separated appropriately and protected to avoid unintended contact or rubbing during transport. In addition, any temporary bands, blocking, or wraps intended to prevent panel movement or damage during shipment should not compress malleable components that could experience permanent deformation (<em>i.e.<\/em> compressible gaskets), risking the integrity of the panel system.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207823\" style=\"width: 341px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Damage that occurred to the edge of a prefabricated wall panel was discovered when it was unpacked on-site due to lack of protection during shipment.\" width=\"341\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1831.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Damage that occurred to the edge of a prefabricated wall panel was discovered when it was unpacked on-site due to lack of protection during shipment.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During transport, panels must also be adequately supported to prevent undesirable shear and\/or bending forces. Effective scheduling and coordination can limit unnecessary handling or prolonged exposure of completed product to a construction environment. Depending on the construction schedule, arrangements for temporary storage or increased protection may be necessary to safeguard panels from excess handling or exposure.<\/p>\n<p>As a continuation of the QA program, protocols should be established to inspect and document unpackaged units to confirm they are in good condition. Any damage should be evaluated and addressed as appropriate prior to installation. During installation, care should be taken to avoid racking, distortion, or other damage of the units; temporary bracing or surface protection may need to be provided to alleviate these concerns. Where appropriate, consider temporary protection for installed units to avoid damage from adjacent construction activities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207824\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Backpan of unitized curtain wall damaged during installation.\" width=\"367\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_6291.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Backpan of unitized curtain wall damaged during installation.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Similar to the development of QA procedures during fabrication, post-fabrication QA procedures are project-specific and usually developed by the assembly fabricator and installer. However, the need for such protocols or procedures should be outlined in the specification for each assembly to ensure proper consideration of post-fabrication activities. Reinforcing the need for these protocols in the list of discussion topics during mock-up and preconstruction meetings can set expectations, identify potential challenges, and facilitate coordination among the project team members. Similar to other QA procedures, post-fabrication procedures should be reviewed early in the construction process and adjusted as necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Author-Bio\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"letter-spacing: -.1pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205718 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Sutterlin_Headshot-f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" \/>Jeffrey Sutterlin, PE, is <\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: -.15pt;\">an architectural engineer and associate principal with Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates\u2019 (WJE\u2019s) offices in Princeton, New Jersey and New <\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: -.1pt;\">York, N.Y.
