Tallest Building In Vancouver

Well after almost a year of working on drawings, our work is now complete on the 61 storey Shangri-La project located at 1128 West Georgia in Vancouver, BC. The 119-room hotel will occupy the first fifteen floors of a new 61 story landmark building, making it the tallest in Vancouver. TND worked with Dave Husson of DH Glass Solutions to produce shop drawings for multiple areas of the building that included hand rails, showers, steam showers, lounge glazing, canopies and many other unique glass applications. The hotel is scheduled to open in January 2009.

CRL Introduces Taper-Loc Glazing System

It seems that everyone is getting on board with the new Taper-Loc glazing system that was recently introduced by CR Laurence. About 4 of the last 5 sets of handrail drawings that TND has prepared has used this new system that eliminates the need for messy expansion cement and apparently reduces installation time by 50%. The system is designed to work with 1/2″ or 3/4″ glass and meets all building code requirements. Click the link below for some informative videos on this new system.
