Although widely used throughout Europe and Asia for many years, the Fischer ACT – Advanced Curtainwall Technology System made its first appearance here in the U.S. on the “Octagon Project” in New York. The framework was preassembled at the contractors’ warehouse and then erected on site. The stone panels were predrilled, the anchors were set and the brackets were installed at the warehouse and then the panels were “hung” in place. As many as 80 stone panels were set per day.
