Week Ending 26th May 2012

We have been involved with a lot of structural art over the years varying form a man made from (metal) hands, a toy tug boat that stands 6m tall and metal trees that now stand in the middle of a Las Vegas casino.

However at the end of last week, we got blindsided by a client who wants an island; not any sort of an Island but a Pirate based island complete with rickety old houses, stone jetty, palm trees and even a large skull with a waterfall coming through its mouth! Following an appointment we are waiting for the completion of pumping out 13 million gallons of water from the lake so that we can send the surveyors in order that the earth movers can remodel the lake for both the island and to increase the depth of the lake by 1.5m which should be sufficient for the pirate ships to float!

With the construction of the high bay waste handling facility at Gt Blakenham now complete the machinery which sorts and recycles the rubbish has been installed. These bits of kit are mammoth in size and we have been providing the designs for the support of such machinery across the UK and Europe due to the 3D functionality of the design software we use. The latest one is the interestingly named ‘Left Hand Trisomat Flip Flop screen’ – no idea what it does but it’s a great name.
