Oversea installation



Installation Cases and Introduction. 

For large mirror stainless steel sculptures, and projects, it commonly will cut into many sections for shipping, and then reassembled at site, we Sino Sculpture have a professional overseas installation team. They can handle the site installation work coordinates with local technicians. We Sino sculpture also can provide technicians to the site for installation instruction and support for the client’s installation. For easy-handling installation work, the instruction drawings will be provided and the client can install it refer to it by themselves to cost-saving.

F&Q

1. What are the main materials you used to make sculptures?
-Stainless steel in degree of 304, 316, 316L.
-Silicon Bronze; Tin bronze; Copper.
-Corten steel
-Mild steel.
 
2. What is the main material used as the internal structure?
- 304 degree stainless steel;
-mild steel.
 
3. What are the main methods or crafts you used to make a sculpture?
- Hand forging (new type of sculpture fabrication)
- Casting (Traditional way)
 
4. What is the progress of the above 2 crafts and any differences?
-Hand Forging: Modeling - Cutting metal panels - Hammered & shaped metal panels by hands - Welding&assembly - Grinding & finish -Installation.
-Casting - Modeling - Lost Wax/sand casting - Welding&assembly - Grinding&Polishing - Installation.
The main difference of the 2 crafts is that, hand forging is a way that directly use metal panels to shape the form of the model, which is similar to wear a cloth outside of the model. It will not change the material’s physical characteristics, no need to heat and melt the metal material.  While traditional Casting have to heat by coal, it may cause its chemical component changed and caused some pollution(air pollution, solid pollution etc.).
