Production
The prefabricated elements
are manufactured under
controlled conditions in
factory environment which
ensures an excellent quality.
Profiles are cut, machined
and welded.
The elements are assembled
for fixing of fittings (i.e. cable
trays, radiator brackets etc.),
glass and gaskets.
The finished elements are
stored on a special rack
storage unit for transport
to the building site.
10

Installation
Photos 1 and 2
Installation starts by
positioning fittings for the
elements on the building
skeleton.
After fitting of furniture the
elements are hoisted to their
positions by a mobile crane
or a building crane.
Installation
Photos 3 and 4
Elements are installed either
horizontally or vertically.
Elements can be adjusted
both in height and sideways
to ensure they are located in
their exact position.
12

Installation
The elements are ready
assembled in one of
HansenGroup’s production
units. The controlled
conditions ensure the
highest attainable quality.
Hansen UnitAl is a modular
system (unitised) which helps
to ensure an extremely fast
installation. The possibility
of installation without using
any lift or scaffolding lowers
the costs and increases
building site safety. It is
also easy to achieve a
weathertight building which
reduces the overall time
schedule as other installation
work can be started earlier.
Weathertight building in
reduced time
= reduced time schedule
= improved economy!

Profile System:
Hansen UnitAl
World Trade Center in
Malmoe is one of the world’s
most energy efficient office
buildings with glass façades.
To obtain this result and
at the same time to keep
expenses at a reasonable
level, Medroc Engineering
in a cooperation with
PreconalHansen and their
expertise within fenestration,
have combined a curtain wall
construction with high
insulation, excellent lighting
and light control.
There is an automatic
system for optimum energy
exploitation which continually
monitors and controls the
indoor climate every day, all
year round.
The building houses
companies and offices
operating in the export
and import sector.
PreconalHansen has
supplied 600 elements for
in total 5,500 m².

Double façade
Double façade protects the
solar shading against wind
and weather conditions.
It provides better possibilities
for installation of an
advanced and efficient blind
and solar shading control
system.
During the winter period, the
extremely low U-values ensure
a low energy consumption
and reduced operation costs.
During the summer period,
solar shading is reducing
costs of climate control.

Ventilation
Motor-controlled vents can
be positioned in the façade
for comfort and smoke
ventilation.
34

Footbridge
A footbridge which has been
situated between the two
façades outside each floor
helps efficient maintenance
and service.
36

Modular constructed
façades
To meet building industry
requirements for modular
constructions, HansenGroup
has developed a prefabricated
modular system for unitised
curtain walls - modular
constructed curtain walls - for
use in commercial buildings and
institutions.
Hansen UnitAl has a number of
advantages such as:
• Fast installation process
• Low on-site costs
• High quality
• Various alternatives for
profile combinations
• Excellent security
• Integrated solar shading
The extremely fast installation
time ensures a faster construction
of a weathertight building
which will enable earlier start-up
of internal work.
Installation without any lift nor
scaffolding reduces on-site costs
and security will be increased for
all parties involved on the
building site.
Light curtain wall constructions
reduce requirements on the
load-bearing structure of the
building.
Assembly of the finished
elements in a heated factory
environment which protects
against wind and weather
improves product quality and
productivity.
Elements can be supplied with
fitted accessories such as cable
trays, and can further reduce
time spent on site for other
sub-contractors.
Hansen UnitAl has been tested
in accordance with the strictest
requirements. The system has
been developed according to the
new statutory energy saving
requirements and meets all
safety requirements.

Forum Jæren in Stavanger,
Norway, includes 5,000 m² of
Hansen UnitAl curtain wall
elements which have been
manufactured and installed
by HubroHansen.

Façade elements
The prefabricated elements
have got an even higher
quality than a traditional
aluminium and glass façade
and at the same time, the
installation time has been
dramatically reduced.
The client has a great choice
of colours, glazing options,
and design.
44

Efficient installation
The building industry requires
increased efficiency and the
possibility of splitting each
single project into modules.
Accordingly, HansenGroup
has developed Hansen UnitAl
for prefabricated elements
and unitised curtain walls for
use in commercial buildings
and institutions.
46

Unofficial World
Record?
In Norway the system has
been used for ”Forum
Jæren” - a 19-storey building
in Stavanger.
A Skanska building contract.
HubroHansen installed 66
elements which should be
”an unofficial world record”
in installation of prefabricated
elements.
The average installation was
approximately 40 elements
per working day.
A successful use of façade
elements requires an early
start on cooperation and a
positive dialogue between
architects and contractors.
The elements must be
designed and details must
be settled before production
starts; in the same way as
concrete elements are
systemized for modern
building.

Project
It seems obvious that
Novozymes as the leading
company within bioinnovation
cannot be content with just a
façade!
Novozymes chose
HansenGroup’s system
for modular constructed
façades - Hansen UnitAl -
for their new office building.
Hansen UnitAl is manufactured
as 100 % prefabricated
façades under controlled
conditions without any delays
due to weather or other site
conditions.
Other components, such as
cable trays or solar shading,
can also be fitted at the factory
in the prefabrication phase.
As a result of this, the time
from startup of installation
until the building has become
weathertight is reduced
dramatically.
Novozymes is a fine
example of a modular
constructed façade with
integrated blinds which has
been custom-fit to client’s
and architects’ requirements.

Façade elements with
Hansen UnitAl system offer
time and money savings,
and guarantee an excellent
product quality!
The installation time will
be considerably reduced,
whilst retaining excellent
product quality, resulting in
a weathertight building in a
faster than normal time.

Integrated solar
shading
Novozyme’s new
multifunction building has
inspired a unique solar
shading solution which was
developed in a fruitful and
constructive cooperation with
Jørn Langvad Arkitekter.
The front of the building has
264 pieces of 1.8 m wide
and almost 4 meter tall
vertical panels which have
been manufactured from
perforated aluminium, that
even in a closed position
allows a view from indoors.
At the same time, they are
also functioning as efficient
solar shading.
The panels are automatically
closed when the last
employees leave Novozymes,
and open again when they
arrive next morning. The
changing intelligent façade
is linked to the activity in the
office building.
60

Automatic adjustable
solar shading
The intelligent façade
changes appearance and
function depending on
building activity throughout
the day.
For example, when closed
at night, the panels provide
additional security and help
prevent burglaries.
