Alania Building Systems and BCX ’ s Iconic New Home

Considerate planning , uncompromising quality and state of the art technology deliver outstanding results .

As Façade specialists , Alania were awarded the contract for the design and installation of the façade cladding and sun-screen elements at the new BCX Head Office , located in Centurion . Alania was involved in design reviews with SVA Architects since the second quarter of 2016 . During this period , various aluminium façade components were evaluated together with the design life suitable to the project , whilst still keeping the architect ’ s design prominent .

Pure Consulting engineered and assisted Alania in ensuring that the design was in accordance with the project ’ s specifications and design loads provided . 3D modelling was strategic in identifying and achieving aesthetically pleasing results aligned with the architects design intent .
The striking aesthetics were delivered using angular , polygonal designs , which accentuate BCX ’ s modern sophisticated brand . Material used in the project included 4mm Aluminium Composite Material with silver and white coated finishes and 2mm Novelis FF2 aluminium sheets imported from Germany providing quality finishes and extended durability .
Alania ’ s A450 Aerofoil Sunscreen best achieved the shading that the office blocks required in both vertical and horizontal applications . This was arrayed in various colours enhancing the aesthetic feel and look .
Alania ’ s ability to handle intense volumes in narrow timeframes from design and manufacture to installation was again demonstrated by the on-time completion of the BCX Project .
Alania were pleased to be associated with the BCX Project which enhances their position as being in the forefront of façade design and execution .
