Three podiums to extend as close to the canal waters as possible from the park foothpath

The Story

Design, fabricate and install three podiums to extend over the canal. The primary frame mild steel, galvanised frame including pedestals to coordinate with concrete piles to the nature of the waterway grounds.

The walkway frame was then clad in Corten flashings and sheets.

Why It Should Win

This project although simple in its final look, took careful planning and coordination with the consulting engineers to make sure tolerance could be achieved. Fabrication had to commence before piles were made due to the tight timeline constraints. As pile locations would be unknown until drilling commenced, much design and engineering was required between BBSF and Arup to agree templates, fabrication and install methods that would allow tolerance while still achieving structural integrity and aesthetic goals.
