Project details:

A prestigious redevelopment of a major central London Station. This Victorian station has been redeveloped to modernise the facilities and introduce natural light into the station. The design makes extensive use of structural glass, tubular sections and structural castings.

Daver Steels designed a M42 fork and spade fitting in grade 316 stainless steel with enhanced structural properties to give a minimum yield strength of 460N/mm2.

The bars were cut to length and thread rolled. Daver Steels machined the tapered lock covers and other associated components to produce complete assembled tendons. In total over 350 tendons were supplied.
