Building resilience in extreme environments is no small feat. Amid conflict and frequent earthquakes, China’s Nantong Dacheng Group successfully topped out Israel’s tallest 320-meter tower—Beyond Tower. This milestone offers valuable lessons for international construction and façade engineering.
For SunFrame Facade, it serves as an inspiring reference—mirroring many of the principles we follow in delivering safe, high-performance curtain wall systems in challenging environments.
How did work continue under the threat of air raid alarms in Tel Aviv? The answer hinges on a non-negotiable commitment: “putting worker safety first.” This is the same core belief that guides SunFrame on every project worldwide.
☞ Here is how SunFrame approaches similar challenges in our own international projects:
We build a dynamic safety assessment system from the very start. Imagine a sudden security event—how does our team working high up on the building façade respond rapidly? By teaming up with expert security providers, holding constant emergency drills, and creating a joint response mechanism with the main contractor, we ensure emergency plans are launched at a moment’s notice. This turns the “high-efficiency execution” of Chinese builders into real-world action to protect every individual.
The project’s success was critical in transforming cultural differences from a challenge into an advantage. What does this mean for a façade company specializing in interface coordination?
☞ Our practice offers a comparable approach:
We go beyond respecting local work rhythms and customs. Also, we proactively ask, “How can we better adapt our working methods to the local ecosystem?” SunFrame’s team takes the initiative to learn local communication styles and optimizes construction schedules around holidays. More critically, we maintain proactive and forward-looking communication with the main contractor and client. This meticulous coordination allows the façade to become a natural extension of the core structure, turning seamless integration into our most reliable guarantee for on-schedule completion.
Faced with stringent EU and US standards, how did the project simultaneously achieve seismic resilience, environmental sustainability, and intelligent functionality? This challenge directly defines SunFrame’s own technical pursuit.
☞ At SunFrame, our own solution framework is guided by:
“Beyond aesthetics, what more can a façade contribute to a building and its environment?” Consequently, we focus on integrating seismic design, high-performance materials, and intelligent systems—such as adaptive shading and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). We leverage BIM for full-process management and place eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient design at the core of our work, striving to make every panel a vital part of the building’s green ecosystem.
The completion of this landmark signifies far more than an engineering feat. It illuminates our path forward: how to earn the most solid trust in the most complex environments?
☞ This achievement reinforces the vision SunFrame holds for its own journey:
We believe that successfully delivering such iconic projects under extreme conditions is the most powerful statement of our brand value. It demonstrates to the world that we provide not just technology, but the systematic capability to ensure success amidst uncertainty. This hard-won experience will propel us onto a broader international stage, establishing SunFrame as the trusted partner in the global construction industry for façade engineering.
The achievement of Nantong Dacheng Group reveals a deeper truth: truly great companies don’t just navigate challenges—they transform them into new possibilities. This story deeply resonates with our philosophy at SunFrame, where we see:
✔ Rigorous safety protocols as our compass for navigating the world’s most complex job sites.
✔ Cultural intelligence as the rhythm that synchronizes our global teams.
✔ Relentless innovation as the engine that propels us toward tomorrow’s skyline.
