Project details
The project requirements included free-standing and movable tree planters, fixed planting perimeters for shrubs, and planters combined with integrated benching - 17 different elements in total - delivered to-site via 6 artic trailers, in a programme phased over 12 weeks.
The scale of the elements was unusually large.
The planting perimeters were all 750mm-high, with footprints up to 17,480 (l) x 2410mm (w), ie with total perimeter lengths up to 39,700mm (l); and the planter / benches were of a similar scale, including substantial 70 (w) x 50mm (h) and 50 (w) x 100mm (h) Iroko FSC timbers.
The client’s quality expectation, and the specification level, were also unusually high.
Elements were fabricated from 3.0 or 4.0mm steel, zinc-primed and polyester powder-coated to RAL 7022 (Umbra grey) using a durable, matte, textured paint formulation from Interpon / Akzo Nobel's D2525 Structura range.
