| The installation of the aluminum wall panel system called for on the Queensway Bay Parking Structure adjoining the Long Beach Aquarium turned out to be one of the largest and most unique projects for Weiss. While the 0.080 aluminum panels themselves were fabricated in the Weiss Gardena, CA facility by Global, the 60 individual 12 foot by 24 foot frames were assembled in large sections in the field, and lifted into place with cranes. The designers had called for laser cuts depicting bubbles. This work was accomplished skillfully in the Weiss production facility. |

| A Dramatic Revision by Weiss in the Design and Production of the Aquarium’s Metal Roof The designers had called for a crashing wave effect on a large portion of the roof – initially suggesting that zinc would be the metal most suitable. When Weiss was awarded the contract, our designers and engineers very strongly suggested that a better metal to use in the atmosphere near the ocean in Long Beach would be aluminum. The aluminum panels, which varied in length from 5 feet up to 30 feet long, were 18 inches in width. A fully detailed description of this roofing system was featured in the November 1998 issue of The Roofing Specifier. |
