Delivered on time the canopy made it’s journey to site last Sunday thanks to Peter and Darren from Ashgrove Transport and the rest of their team. We left the factory at 3.30 pm and we got to Stephen’s Green at 1.30 am Monday morning. We got great help from the Gardai along the route, it would have been impossible without them. I would like to apologise for any delays experienced by motorists along the way. Once we got to Stephen’s Green the canopy had to be placed on it’s end onto our own truck to get it down the street to it’s location. This was carried out by 2 cranes and went smoothly once the wind had died down. As soon as we had it at the site the boys got to it, Ollie, Johnny, Damo and Michael worked through the night and took great advantage of the calm conditions.

The photos show a snap shot of the events which got the canopy to The Gaiety Centre. It was an experience to say the least and a very satisfying project for all concerend. We made a commitment last July to have the canopy on site on the 21st October. This we did. Well done lads…………..great job.

If you would like anymore innformation on this project or others please do call us.

Regards, Martin.

PS; Thanks Derek for the great photos……………………………they are brilliant.

Here is another image of frame-less glass balustrade. This is the landing area to the staircase I showed earlier.

The glass is fixed to a steel stringer which is fixed into the edge of the concrete floor. There are no visible bolts or welds to cheapen the appearance of this piece.

Note the way in which the timber handrail is fitted. There are no timber corners at all. There are all done by thickening the stainless steel and so eliminates the risk of the timber corners opening and looks very good……………………………. Attention to detail is the key.

We manufacture and install a flat roof safety rail system which is a fast and aesthetically pleasing solution to safety on flat roofs. It simply sits on the existing roof with rubber padded feet and is placed in the location of walk ways or pathways and acts as edge protection.

Our Quickrail system saves time and money and is a straight forward solution to edge protection on Flat roofs. Give us a call for further information.

We are currently in the middle of our metalwork package for “The O2″ arena or what was known as “The Point” in Dublin. We provided samples and design drawings prior to getting any work on this project and following several meetings we began the work on the 1st July last and we started the installation 2 weeks later. We are not the only Architectural Metalwork supplier on site as the complete package was split amoung 3 or 4 of us.
