Public Realm

A one stop shop for architects and contractors

Since 2000 this has grown to become consistently one of our largest business sectors. We provide bespoke designed products & while this catalogue area shows finished products, they rarely are made standard. Every project has its own demands, and we tailor to suit each project. The projects we take on in this sector have ranged from€1000 to €2,500,000 and London is our most important market.

Since 2000 the area of Public Realm Enhancement has grown dramatically to become our largest business sector.  We customise design of bespoke street furniture for urban design architects and landscape architects.

STAINLESS STEEL FABRICATION FOR PUBLIC REALM PROJECTS

Our focus in the Urban Streetscape Enhancement is on large projects in Ireland, the UK, and the Middle East. Starting with Stainless Steel Drainage we supply neat edge trench drain channels and landscape Slot Drain Channel Systems.

Accompanying these drain channels with stainless steel manhole covers we make bespoke recessed access covers – single tray, multi tray and hinged access covers for paved areas. The recessed manhole cover business led us to develop hinged pop up covers for power distribution.  These in ground or underground outdoor power boxes contain IP67 power sockets along with data, video, and audio connection possibilities.  Underground Bib Tap units are now also being used for potable water supply

Alongside the stainless steel drainage and manholes, we supply stainless steel and Corten edging – mostly for paving delineation, but also to form raised planter beds.

Stainless Steel Benches, Seats, Litter Bins, Planters, Balustrade and Bollards make up most of the rest of our supply to the landscape package.

Finally, for steps we provide LED Handrails, Stair Treads, and Tactile Warning Strips.  The range is completed with a full range of tactile warning, demarcation, and anti-skate studs.

MOST POPULAR PRODUCT RANGES - IN GROUND POP UP UNITS FOR POWER DISTRIBUTION

Our Underground Power Distribution Boxes allow all contents of a feeder pillar and, in some cases, the feeder pillar itself to be recessed underground.  These power units can pop up on demand then from a hinged or telescopic lid.

Where recessed outdoor power boxes cannot fit a similar power distribution can be achieved with Power Bollards.

MOST POPULAR PRODUCT RANGES - STAINLESS STEEL CHANNEL DRAINAGE FOR PUBLIC REALM PROJECTS

Our stainless steel trench drainage channels are usually the neat edge type with heelproof lockdown gratings.  These channels and gratings can be curved to a 25m right down to a 1m radius.

Stainless Steel Landscape Slot Drain Systems can be straight or curved.  Radius Slot Drains can be curved right down to a tight 500mm radius.

Hidden Slot Drain and Curved Hidden Slot Drain has grown in recent years particularly to follow the contours of curved planters.

MOST POPULAR PRODUCT RANGES - STAINLESS STEEL MANHOLE COVERS FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Our Stainless Steel Recessed Access Covers are grade 316 as standard due to city centre the pollution levels and the extensive use of de-icing salt on the pavements, particularly in London.

Bespoke customised sizes are our specialty, and we are the 1st company to design and manufacture Thames Water approved recessed manhole covers.

MOST POPULAR PRODUCT RANGES - STAINLESS STEEL PLANTERS FOR URBAN ARCHITECTURE

Bespoke customised planters are made in 316 stainless steel and more often in 304 stainless steel powder coated.  Bronze Powder Coating is the most popular choice closely followed by the ever increasing demand for Corten Steel Planters. 

Our recommendation always is to use the one footprint and have Planters with Integrated Seating.
