PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
Hong Kong Skybridge Project
PRANCE has recently secured the Hong Kong New Territories Footbridge project. This client shares a long-standing partnership with PRANCE, having previously collaborated on the Hong Kong International Airport and West Kowloon Cultural District projects. The acquisition of the New Territories Footbridge project is not only an expansion of PRANCE’s business but also a significant historical milestone for the company.

| Challenge
For this project’s framework, we are currently conducting a test installation of the framework and triangular panels. Originally, these modules were divided into ten, but now they have been reduced to only three. So, what led us to make such a bold decision?
First, the ceiling of the bridge is as high as 40 meters, and given the limited space in the city center, it is extremely challenging to install the framework and triangular panels piece by piece.
Second, labor costs in Hong Kong are relatively high, which would result in significant manpower consumption.
Third, if the project were divided into ten modules, ensuring the consistency of the wood grain direction on the tapered structure would require constant minor adjustments during on-site installation, which would be highly cumbersome.
| Solution
In response to these challenges, the entire PRANCE design team held multiple discussions and decided to optimize the original ten modules into three. This adjustment allows the triangular panels, after undergoing wood grain treatment, to be more easily aligned with the tapered structure, ensuring uniform wood grain direction. Additionally, it simplifies the on-site installation process, making it easier and more efficient for the workers.
PRANCE’s factory has a strong capability for modular construction, enabling us to shift the installation process to the factory. By simulating the installation on a 1:1 scale, we ensure that the assembly and adjustment between the framework and the triangular panels are perfectly aligned. This approach minimizes on-site installation issues, allowing for seamless integration between the framework and panels, ultimately saving time and reducing installation difficulties.
Once the pre-assembly of the triangular panels and framework meets the required standards, we will proceed with galvanizing and wood grain treatment over the following days. This ensures that the product will not only maintain its durability but also retain its aesthetic quality over time.

| Advanced Architectural Solutions by PRANCE: Elevating the Hong Kong Skybridge Project
In the landmark Hong Kong Skybridge project, PRANCE has seamlessly integrated advanced building solutions that epitomize both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Our use of Wood Grain Triangular Panels and a robust Galvanized Framework exemplifies our expertise in Aluminum Ceiling solutions, reinforcing the structure's integrity and visual impact.
Wood Grain Triangular Panels: PRANCE’s choice of Wood Grain Triangular Panels provides a natural aesthetic that complements the urban surroundings while maintaining a modern architectural look. These panels, known for their durability and lightweight properties, contribute to a visually appealing, maintenance-friendly facade that withstands Hong Kong’s humid climate without compromising on style.
Galvanized Framework: The incorporation of a Galvanized Framework ensures a strong structural base for the Skybridge. This framework is treated to resist corrosion and wear, which is crucial in the saline-rich atmosphere of Hong Kong. It supports the overall weight of the facade elements while facilitating a streamlined installation process.
By implementing these products, PRANCE not only enhances the Hong Kong Skybridge project's visual appeal but also ensures long-term durability and sustainability. Our solutions are tailored to meet the dynamic demands of modern architecture, making PRANCE a trusted partner in pioneering Aluminum Ceiling projects globally.
