PTCC is a design practice specializing in the
development, analysis and documentation of
facades for modern buildings.
Welcome
If you are in the business of constructing
curtain walls then PTCC's technical
support will allow you to take on projects
that are larger and more complex. There
are many ways in which we can help you to
operate efficiently: our optimization
techniques can be applied at an early
stage in the design process in order to
bring material costs to a minimum; our
bulk documentation services are
cost-effective; also, we can create the
digital files you need to control the
machinery in your workshop, to streamline
your production workflow.
Our core expertise is in the
design of new envelope systems for modern
buildings. We develop facade types that
include unitized curtain walls, point-fixed
and structural glass walls, unitized
skylights, truss-supported walls and
blast-resistant glazing.
Our clients are curtain wall
fabricators, facade contractors and suppliers
of extruded aluminium wall systems. We deliver
our designs, drawings and calculations, in
electronic format, to all regions of the
world.
Our services are geared to
meet the requirements of companies
constructing large or complex facades. These
walls might have tens of thousands, or
hundreds of thousands of unique parts. We
prepare shop drawings for review by the
building owner's consultants, the die drawings
used by the aluminium extruders and gasket
manufacturers, material quantity take-offs,
and also fabrication drawings to describe each
individual component. We test the performance
of installed facades and, when troubleshooting
is required, we can investigate and provide
technical direction during the rectification
process.
Our projects are, generally,
those which are large in scale (sports
stadiums, major airports, institutional
buildings and high-rise commercial towers), or
those which are technically challenging
because of their geometric or structural
complexity (such as twisting canopies,
cable-nets, and dynamically loaded or
impact-absorbing walls).
Our staff are
university-educated design professionals. PTCC
employs just under a hundred people.
Here at this website you will find further
information about our
services. A
portfolio of our past work contains pictures of
some notable buildings. In addition, a few
drawing samples are available for download. Do

ready to help.
