Gaiety Centre update

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Well after a weekend of hard work and very little play this time, we have managed to get all of the mirror polished sheets into position and the tack welding is almost complete. Once the tack welding is complete to every panel we will complete the welding procedure and begin the polishing then.

This picture show the mirror polished sheets still under their protection layer. These sheets are easily scratched and would take a long time to polish out again, time we just do not have at present.

I’ll post more picture as the job gets closer to completion. We have our transport crews out on the roads today getting the route finally confirmed. This should be fun………………………..

Regards, Martin

Gaiety Centre Canopy

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

We are currently in the middle of the fabrication process of the Feature Canopy we are manufacturing for the Gaiety Centre in Dublin. We have the mildsteel sub structure almost complete and we will then begin the process of fitting the mirror finish stainless steel cladding to the outside. All the joints will be fully welded and hand polished to give a complete and seamless finish. Should be fabulous.

The mildsteel plate has been welded to a structural steel support frame and internal bracing. The views shown are of the canopy in the upside down position. We are going to make a temporary support frame to allow easier movement and to allow for the specialist transportation.
