- PROJECT:
- Blackburn Town Hall, Blackburn
- CLIENT:
- Capita Symonds, Blackburn
- INFO:
- ASF worked closely with the client to develop a bench and seat which would be capable of withstanding the rigours of a busy city centre square. By using three different materials and their contrasting properties, a co-ordinated bench and seat design was developed. A co-ordinating granite bollard was used from our Cubist range which complimented the bespoke bench and seat designs.
- PRODUCTS:
- The Bespoke Seat and Bench were manufactured using flame finished Silver Grey Granite Pedestals, Iroko Hardwood Timber Slats (FSC Certification) and Steel Brackets. All fixings were made to be either invisible or anti tamper. The bollards used were our Cubist 150 in Silver Grey Granite, Flamed Finish

- PROJECT:
- Sale Town Hall, Sale
- CLIENT:
- HLM Design, Sheffield
- INFO:
- In order to modernise Sale Town Hall frontage and surrounding areas, ASF worked with the client to adapt established stainless steel range items to be used in a series of eye catching formats. Marine grade stainless steel was the chosen material as it is very low maintenance and offers the required contemporary look.
- PRODUCTS:
- Utilizing the ASF 5008/114 stainless steel bollard with satin brushed bases and highly polished machined tops, combined with the ASF 5050 stainless steel telescopic bollard to allow vehicular access, a coordinated scheme was developed. Chain barrier systems were also used to cordon off certain areas.
For permanent barrier areas, the ASF 5006 stainless steel bollard was chosen with 50mm diameter stainless steel rails as a complimentary scheme. At the front of the Town Hall perforated stainless steel panels were added to create an architecturally pleasing barrier. ASF 5006 step units were also used at the front of the building.

- PROJECT:
- Llanelli Seafront
- CLIENT:
- MacGregor Smith
- INFO:
- The ASF team was commissioned to help in the design of a range of modern cast iron posts for use both along the seafront and on top of a series of visually stunning look out towers. Three different but coordinated post styles were designed. In this extremely harsh environment a robust and high quality finish on the posts and rails was imperative.
ASF investigated the possibility of centrifugally galvanising the posts. Together with the use of marine grade stainless steel rails, separated from the cast iron posts via integral nylon sleeves in order to avoid any inter-metallic reaction, this proved extremely successful.
- PRODUCTS:
- The posts used were hybrids of our popular ASF211 post incorporating marine grade stainless steel rails. The cast iron was centrifugally galvanised to protect against both rusting and deterioration caused by the marine environment. The stainless steel rails were satin brush polished to a maximum RA value of 0.5 to reduce the risk of contamination.
This project was installed 8 years ago and is monitored regularly. The posts show absolutely no signs of deterioration and have dulled to a rich cast iron patina which together with the stainless steel looks superb. The system has required no maintenance during its eight years in this harsh salt water location.
