Feature steelwork for the new West Bromwich bus station
didn t have far to travel from Angle Ring who are
based less than 10 miles away.
The main feature of the station is a 323mm diameter tube,
curved in 3 dimensions to follow a spiral. The steel is
designed as a focal point, but also houses security cameras
to watch over the thousands of commuters who will walk
past this modern sculpture each day.
Angle Ring has been curving steel to 3 dimensional profiles
for many years, but recent tooling and machinery designed
and built by Angle Ring now allow a range of Tubes, Beams,
Channels and RHS to be spiralled as well as the traditional
plate for spiral stringers.
Paul Middleton at Angle Ring states: This allows
architects and engineers the freedom to design complex,
free standing, structures for staircases, or feature steelwork
in structural sections without the fear of expensive fabrication
costs .
