CASE STUDY - REFURB AND REPLICATION

At a location in Buckinghamshire a client owned a listedcorrugated pagoda which was not only sadly neglected butadditionally seriously distorted through fire damage! Allwasted steelwork was either restored or recreated whilst themodern door was replaced completely with a faithfulreplica of the original long lost door leaf. The whole unitwas authentically reclad with 3" pitch iron suitablyprotected with a galvanized finish and finally polyesterpowder painted in authentic GWR colours. The contractincluded the provision of all missing features includingbarge boards and cast iron gutters and for the relocatingon its original site - the project was short listed for aNational Heritage award.

At Birmingham’s listed Bordersly Viaduct the need arose toreplace a life expired bridge span. Network Railsrequirements were to do so using a concrete structurehowever this was not acceptable to the planning authorities.Steelway consequently created a steel facia beamincorporating all appropriate authentic replica riveted detailto accurately mimic an original structure. The 27m x 5.4massembly was delivered to site in a hot dipped galvanisedform in preparation for a full specification painting process,in authentic colours and for installation by Steelway.
