extreme cases, it may be prudent to replace all similar panels known to be defective, but yet to fail, in a single operation rather than face the inconvenience and disruption of piecemeal replacement on subsequent failure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b90d647 readMorePara elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"

glass, most notably nickel sulphide, are a common source of failure in fully-toughened glass.\u00a0 Whilst chances of nickel sulphide impurities occurring in production can be minimised, they cannot be avoided completely and will commonly occur in batches.\u00a0 For this reason, manufacturers will not warranty against them, although destructive \u201cheat soak testing\u201d can identify the majority of affected units.\u00a0 This testing is especially worthwhile where failure is particularly undesirable, due to disruption or difficulty of access for replacement.<\/p><p>Hawkins regularly locate impurities in retained glass panels during site investigation.\u00a0 On removal, the impurity may be identified through laboratory testing.\u00a0 In some instances, we have identified aluminium\/aluminium oxide inclusions, the identification of which may substantiate a claim.<\/p><p>In large fa\u00e7ade systems, further failures will often follow.\u00a0 An owner may decide to replace all similar glass units to mitigate against this.\u00a0 To avoid falling overhead glass, replacement laminated panels may be used, such that a broken ply of glass is held in place by an undamaged ply.\u00a0 Films may also be applied to hold shards together, although care is required to avoid a panel falling as a single unit.\u00a0 Hawkins can advise on these options.<\/p><p>Removal of a panel may also reveal poor detailing and fitting of connections.\u00a0 Cases have been observed of steel in contact with glass edges.\u00a0 Glass with inappropriate support detailing may also fail under loading associated with building movement, such as storey drift or slab deflection.\u00a0 Replacement of glass can present the opportunity to rectify such issues if identified and reported in a timely manner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f70050 blue_btn elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget
