TSL Installation – Landmark Curved-Facade Project

TSL Installation – A Landmark Achievement in Curved Façades & Cross-Border Delivery

This luxury apartment project in Kew, Melbourne stands as one of TSL Installation’s signature achievements, delivered under extraordinary façade complexity and an international supply-chain model. Despite challenging site conditions and the absence of technical drawings, our team delivered a high-precision, high-quality result through expert engineering, detailed measurement, and seamless global coordination.

Key Challenges

• Extensive curved floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized glass panels requiring exceptional installation accuracy

• Tight metropolitan site with limited access for transport, lifting and manoeuvring

• An abandoned project with no available construction drawings or technical documents

• Only the concrete structure remained — with no datum lines, reference points or guides

  
  

Cross-Border Delivery: China-Made Unitised Panels + On-Site Precision Installation

The project adopted a hybrid delivery model:unitised window systems were precision-manufactured in China, shipped to Melbourne, and then installed, aligned, waterproofed and sealed by TSL’s specialist team on site.

Redoing the Work for Perfection

Before our involvement, four different installation teams had attempted the project without success.Around 40% of the glass units had already been installed when TSL took over.

To guarantee the highest standard of waterproofing and alignment, we made a decisive choice:all previously installed units were removed, sub-frames were re-aligned, and the entire waterproofing system was rebuilt from scratch.

Building Without Drawings: Experience + Engineering + Precision Control

With no drawings to rely on, TSL used rendered elevations, structural clues, and professional experience to determine exact measurements and structural relationships.Our team delivered the full workflow—measurement, offshore fabrication, on-site assembly, sealing and waterproofing.

Final Outcome

• Total of 2,500 labour hours

• Completed 1,850 sqm of curved and oversized façade systems

• Delivered within AUD 150,000

• Achieved top-tier alignment accuracy and long-term waterproof performance

• The building now stands as a new architectural landmark in Melbourne

Through this hybrid model of precision offshore manufacturing paired with expert Australian installation, TSL has demonstrated strong capability in complex façade delivery, global supply-chain coordination, and high-precision on-site execution.
