Metal
railings and gates manufacturer, AlphaRail has been
appointed on a project which has been shortlisted for a BALI award in
the category for “Best Regeneration Scheme over £500k”. Having
gained Heritage and Big Lottery Funding to renovate a number of key
areas, the project has received much publicity and popular acclaim.
Blakedown
Landscapes (SE) Ltd are the main contractors for the project and
having done many previous projects for them, AlphaRail was contracted
to manufacture metalrailings and gates
for a variety of locations within the park, including Oast House,
Marnock Lake and The Hub.
A
stunning entrancegate was supplied
which Alpha Rail manufactured from steel plating. This featured
imagery of a tree with falling leaves that were laser profiled into
the metalwork. This impressive plate steel gate is the entrance to
the new park compound and is sited between a line of newly installed
pleached lime trees. This structure was supplied accompanied by
supportive metal framing and mounting pillars.
For
Oast House, Marnock Lake and Wetlands, handrailbalustrade was
installed. Interlacedbowtop metal railings
were also supplied to be installed around a lawned bowling green area
to deter unauthorised entry, and a single leaf gate was installed to
provide pedestrian access.
Chris
Wellbelove from Blakedown Landscapes SE said “We have used Alpha
Rail on many occasions in the past because they provide high quality
products and have always proved to be an extremely reliable sub
contractor.”
Located
in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, the Grosvenor and Hilbert Park was
opened in 1889 and is a popular recreation area and well known for
hosting events. The land also includes two woodland areas that
classify it as a local nature reserve.
