Top Five Safety Risks Common in Stone Engineering Projects

FAQ #1: Stone backing mesh not removed before installation

Reason Analysis

Insufficient quality and safety awareness

2) Lack of proper briefing or inadequate supervision and inspection.

Solutions (Preventive Measures)

Remove the backing mesh thoroughly before application and apply protective agent. Wait 24 hours before proceeding with the construction.

Step 2: Partially scrape the mesh from the adhesive areas of the dry-hung stone tiles.

Q2: Common Issue Two: Unstandardized fixation of dry-hung stone mullions and masonry walls

Reason Analysis

1) Unclear design milestones.

2) Lack of adequate briefing or insufficient supervision.

Solutions (Preventive Measures)

1) Fixed with through-wall bolts.

2) Secured with expansion bolts to the horizontal beam.

Q&A #3: Common Issue: Vertical Main Beam Not Installed for Dry-Hung StoneOr the main beam is not effectively fastened to the structural floor.

Reason Analysis

Insufficient quality and safety awareness

2) Lack of proper briefing or inadequate supervision and inspection.

Solutions (Preventive Measures)

1) Establish vertical main rafters and use through-wall bolts.

2) Secure with expansion bolts to the horizontal beam.

Q4: Common Question 4: Insufficient Thickness of Dry-Hung Stone (Less Than 32mm)

Root Cause Analysis

1) The finished large boards generally have a thin thickness.

2) Stone quarries were not used for slabbing.

Solutions (Preventive Measures)

If the finished large board does not meet the required thickness, it must be processed from raw material separately.

Enhance the management of material incoming inspections.

FAQ 5: Stone tiles are not securely hung, posing a safety hazard.

Reason Analysis

1) Stone is heavy, and traditional craftsmanship is difficult to ensure safety.

Solutions (Preventive Measures)

1) Utilizing honeycomb aluminum composite panels with stone.

2) Construction strictly adheres to standard milestones.
