Overcoming The Challenge

We were involved in the development from a very early stage working with Durkans on site personnel in particular with the Site Engineer and QS. Tim Walsh Our MD. Shane Winters reviewed the design brief and locations for the various different fencing and gates required in meetings with them  and suggested a number of base designs and products to be worked from we provided samples and locations were similar products had been used. The criteria were appearance, safety,minimal maintenance, and value. After initial Selection of design, we then submitted drawings for the clients approval outlining the variations dictated by site factors and various different fixings required for walls structures and ground conditions..
