EXC3 complex steel fabrication maestros Rank Engineering have recently concluded the supply, manufacture and installation of an EXC3, galvanised, steel sub-frame for Galldris. Markedly, this unique, dipping pond and escape ladder is situated in the heart of Canada Water Docks. One of the most distinctive, historical neighbourhoods in London. Undeniably famous, thoughout the ages, for its maritime and commercial prowess. It is without doubt, an utmost honour for Rank Engineering, to be part of its redevelopment.
Constructed out of mild steel, shot blasted, galvanised (coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust corrosion) and NDT tested, in accordance with table 24, this innovative, circular design, shall be utilised for educational purposes, for years to come. Admirably, it shall be adopted to teach school kids the scientific, conservation, surveying method of pond dipping. Fervently, exploring the fascinating, biodiversity of freshwater habitats, below the meniscus.
The 140 micron, shot blasted and galvanised, steel sub-frame structure is clad with red timber, as a homage to the history of Canada Water Dock. Across the centuries, timber from Canada and the Baltic would be unloaded onto the wharves. Then precariously stacked high along the docksides, to dry out in the Sun. Tremendously, back breaking work for the dockers, carrying huge baulks. Thousands of tonne a day would be disencumbered. Notably, some of the World’s most famous ships were moored and repaired here. Even the Mayflower sailed from here in the 17th century. Singularly, famous for transporting English Pilgrims to the New World in 1620; seeking religious and political liberty and economic opportunity. Principally, establishing the first permanent colonisation, of what would become The United States of America. Click on this link to find out more: https://canadawater.co.uk/vision/history/
Impressively, Rank Engineering were responsible for managing this novel EXC3, complex steel fabrication project, end-to-end. Particularly, in the latter stages of sizeable, construction projects, Rank Engineering are often, expressly relied upon, because of our state of the art factory, robust factory production quality controls and extensive welding repertoire. Moreover, for our profound acumen in delivering niche fabrications, with the quickest lead time around. Correspondingly, Rank Engineering also had the responsibility for the galvanisation and installation of a nearby, impressive, steel link bridge at Canada Water Docks: https://www.rankengineering.co.uk/steel-bridge-installation-london/ What remarkable projects to appertain to. Onwards and upwards me hearties.
Rank Engineering operate predominantly out of Bristol and Oxford. However, we do function nationwide and are currently, submitting tenders for BS EN 1090 EXC2 & EXC3 structural steel, specialist fabrications all over Britain.
