SYSTEM
This section discusses the different types of pillars which can be built
using the Tandem system, namely:
Tandem pillars with steel pillar grids
Tandem pillars with structural modules
Tandem veneer units are used for the exterior facing of the pillar .
The interior core of the column serves a structural function and
can be built in accordance with one of the following two methods:
using structural units (regular Tandem system) or using a steel pillar
grid instead of structural units .
TANDEM PILLARS WITH PILLAR GRIDS
That type of pillar is built with Lafitt and Melville Tandem veneer units only .
The building of this type of column begins with the use of a steel pillar grid
which provides structural support for the veneer units . The units are fastened
to the pillar grid using specially-designed connectors .
The essential details for building this type of pillar
are described below .
