AJ Hackett SkyPark
Right in the centre of Skypark is where you’ll find the Skybridge. A huge 439 metre suspension bridge, a dizzying 207 metres up in the air. Walking across it is enough to cause your legs to shake but the Skybridge is also home to the Park’s most gravity-defying attractions.
Connswater Community Greenway
A project that required 2000 metres of stainless and galvanised mild steel. This lead to TOT contacting us for the supply of steel wire rope in order to complete this challenging assignment.
Eco Floating Homes
SWR were hired by Eco Floating Homes to work on one of their unique properties. As the building was situated on water, a solution had to be found for securing a stable platform to the floating structure.
Edinburgh Council Anti-Terror Barriers
The City of Edinburgh Council contacted SWR as they required large assemblies for anti-terror barriers at a music festival. With the Council’s usual supplier unavailable and the festival just days away, SWR had a shorter-than-average deadline to fulfil the order request.
The Gobbins Path
SWR were contracted to supply infill cables for various structures – ensuring the paths stay safe for visitors in the decades to come. We are proud to have made a small yet important contribution to this amazing project.
Portsmouth Ferry Terminal
This project took us to Portsmouth where the customer asked us to provide bespoke fittings for a car park near the Ferry Terminal. This included a large order of steel wire rope for the elevated handrail/barrier situated around the car park.
Highways England
We were contacted by a company to provide high-quality wire rope for their cable barriers. These would then be supplied to Highways England for use on roads and motorways across the country.
Locker Architectural
The work of Warrington-based Company Locker Architectural, both structures were a huge challenge to create and install. Not only did both pieces have to be digitally modelled in 3D before construction could start but many specialised fittings had to be outsourced from various companies.
MARS Armor
MARS approached SWR for help on their Model 84 armor: a bullet-proof vest requiring additional parts for its quick release system. An important feature that allows the vest to be quickly removed in urban combat situations.
Sapphire Balconies
Sapphire Balconies got in contact with SWR as the construction of each balcony required customised wire rope components to keep them suspended. They also needed a company flexible enough to send out wire rope in split deliveries due to on-going surveyance of the building site.
