JANUARY 2026: CHISELED STONE & NICHE HEADER PANELS

Chiseled Stone and Niche Header Panel Facts:

  • The typical chiseled base panel weighed 9,000 lbs and incorporated 14 individual stones.

  • The typical niche header panel weighed 4,300 lbs and incorporated 3 individual stones.

  • The stones were created from thick blocks which were split in two by using a guillotine, cut to size, and hand chiseled on all four sides to match the character of the face of the guillotined blocks (shown in video opening clip).

  • The stones were then attached to a steel frame in KEPCO+’s off-site facility and each panel was assigned a specific location on the building.

  • Each panel was ‘pre-registered’ off-site in its exact location to the adjacent panels, ensuring that the panel-to-panel and panel-to-building attachments would fit perfectly when installed on the jobsite.

  • KEPCO+ teams fabricated and installed 173 stone-clad panels to complete the base of the building.
