The Railway Procurement Agency have awarded Kent Stainless a contract to supply all stainless steel platform furniture for the new Luas lines.  The multi-million euro contract is the second major contract Kent Stainless has won under the government’s “Transport 21” programme.

Kent Stainless won this contract based on knowledge and expertise in the structures and finishes of stainless steel.  References from contracts for Wembley Stadium, Cork Airport and Kingston Airport (Jamaica) helped win the project.  Stringent factory inspections and ISO9002 certification were prerequisites to awarding the contract. 

Prototypes are being finalised by March 2008 with first installations in July 2008.

Kent Stainless will again showcase our products at "Cityscape 2008" in the Earls Court, London.  The show will take place from the 26th - 28th February 2008. 

The highlight of the Kent Stainless stand (stand C50) will be our new range of LED bollards and illuminated bollards.  As well as this we will be displaying a large range of our existing stainless steel street furniture range as well as our external drainage products such as recessed access covers and facade drainage. 

Kent Stainless employee Ken Clooney will represent Ireland in Sheet Metal Work in the Worlds Skills Final.  The competition will be held in Shizuoka Japan from the 10^th – 18^th November 2007. This is a truly great achievement for Ken and is a wonderful opportunity for him.  Great credit must go to him and his family, the company and his instructors (at both FAS and D.I.T.) - all of whom played a part in his achievement.

Kent Stainless other representative Eamonn Maloney also did the company proud in the recent National Skills Competition.  An overall third place for Eamonn in the “Sheetmetal worker of the year competition” is a fantastic achievement. 

Kent Stainless will be the sole supplier of stainless steel bollards to the new Wembley Stadium.  Using Kent Stainless design for removable bollards, the bollards will act as barriers on match days while providing car park areas and walkways on non match days.

Kent Stainless have built up a steady working relationship with the contractor in the past 12 months.  Kent engineers have worked closely with the on site design team to come up with the most aesthetic solution at an affordable price.

Kent Stainless was recently contracted by Foster and Partners in the major redevelopment of the Albion Wharf area in London.  This major riverside development has a 180m riverside frontage with river walls up to 70 years old as well as the 'Thameswalk flats' and 'Glassmill' office development. 

Kent Stainless manufactured and supplied stainless steel shear type bollards and bicycle racks for the area as well as innovative man hole covers which integrate with the surrounding paving.  Other installations in the area included light boxes, lifebouy holders and standard bollards.

The new Kent Stainless Automatic Deluge Gully

Designed for the Pharmaceutical, Biopharm and chemical industries and in particular the clean room areas.  The Kent clean room gully cover forms an airtight seal, eliminating the use of open drains and therefore protecting the clean room enviorment. 

A pneumatic cylinder opens the clean room cover in the event of the sprinkler system being activated, or if vessels empty or any other discharge.  It can also be opened when floor drainage is required on an occasional or intermittent basis when the clean room gets cleaned or disinfected.  This is normally operated by sensor control or manual control.

Kent Stainless have been involved in the design of a new facade drainage system and are manufacturing and supplying facade drains to the new Norman Foster designed GLA (Greater London Assembly) building and the redevelopment at More London water front between Tower Bridge and London Bridge, incorporating offices and public amities.  Designed to run along curve or straight glazing and walls, the facade drain provides a hidden drainage system, with only a 10mm slot visible in the paving.

"The landscaped area immediately around the City Hall is the first of a series of intergrated public spaces.  The spaces will be opened in phases and will ensure a high quality public domain and a series of lively and attractive places for all to enjoy........situated on the river and with views towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, it will be one of London's larger new public squares when completed.  The new square is paved throughout in Blue Irish Limestone from Kilkenny in Eire.  Featuring a sreies of gentle gradients it is designed to provide full access to all groups.  A system of hidden slot drains will remove the need for gullies there by enchancing the qualities of the pedestrain surface."
