Terrace Canopy and Bandstand - Exchange Square London

 

Annual spring installation followed by the autumn removal. K2 installations is well versed at the installation and removal of these stunning temporary canopies. The contract includes the removal of all components from site, cleaning and storage.

 

 

Twin Cone Entrance Canopy Installation - Sword-APAK  Bristol

 

Crane operations were incorporated to lift CHS mast sections into place, temporary rigging cables were utilised to support the masts prior to the connecting struct and spar installation. The high tensile fabric membrane was fitted to the steel work using collective combination of steel membrane plates and boundary cables. Finally membrane plate threaded tensioners were used to pull the membrane back to the spar connection points tensioning the membrane to its desired datum.

 

Twin Cone Terrace canopy- Bath Race Course.

 

Crane operations were incorporated to lift CHS sections into place, with the provision of temporary works to support the horizontal spars prior to the supporting strut installation. The high tensile fabric membrane was fitted to the steel work using collective combination of steel membrane plates and boundary cables. Finally the upper stub section of the mast being pushed up using hydraulic jacks to achieve the desired tension to the canopy membrane.  

 

 

Standard Mendip 5000 Shade Canopy - Paul Street London

 

Elegant design with sculptural masts, suitable for a wide range of purposes in a variety of settings. The supporting structure is minimal with the advantage of no trip hazards. Standard structures can be fabricated, supplied and installed to order.

 

Malvern MP 700 Hypar Canopy - Abbey Wood Retail Park Bristol.

 

A larger variation on the standard Mendip. This structure at 12 meters across its axis incorporates mast tie backs in the form of tie rods to support the loads applied to the mast heads. Tie rods are installed to the anodised stainless steel masts heads at ground level, the resulting assembly is then lifted onto the cast in anchors by provision of lifting tackle. Finally the fabric membrane is dressed with the membrane plates and boundary cables the resulting canopy is then hauled to the mast heads  utilising tirfors cable winches, the membrane tension rods are then connected to the mast head and adjusted to tension the membrane.

 

Chiltern Terrace Canopies - Indescon Court London

 

Crane Operations and Lifting Supervision were essential in the installation of this project. The CHS masts were lifted into position and secured into place using cast in holding down bolts. Associated struts and spars are fitted to the masts, followed by the fabric membrane. Hydraulic jacks are used to push up the upper stub mast section tensioning the canopy to its desired datum.

 

Houghton hall park. Dunstable Bedfordshire

 

The installation provided some challenges, not least of which was the restricted access for the installation plant. The steel was installed using JCB Buggiscopic 6 meter boom and access was provided using mobile tower scaffold.

 

Installation of a 8 meter X 8 meter hyperbolic shade sail supported by CHS radius masts.

 

The installation was part of the extensive re-development of the visitors center  to provide a shaded area in the summer and some shelter in the  winter months.

 

St Charles Primary school Blackburn. Completed March.

 

Single cone Kik cantilever canopy in playground. The Main canopy steel frame was assembled at ground level on wooden barers. The supporting mast was lifting into place using telehandler and the canopy assembly including the PVC membrane was then lifted into place and attached to the mast.

 

Villa Arrigo Malta- sound proofed wedding venue, fabric roof comprising of 6 conical pushups.  Completed February.

 

6 individual PVC membrane panels where fitted to a perimeter of fixed luff track extrusion. The telescopic stub masts are then jacked to tension the 6 individual conical push up cones. The individual cones were then connected via cover flaps incorporating site pvc welding between the valleys. Installation time 12 days.
