Bristol City Council appointed anti-slip flooring company Polydeck to provide the solution for St Anne’s pedestrian footbridge that crosses the River Avon. A routine inspection showed that the steel structure was showing signs of corrosion and the bridge was in need of significant repair. The council decided that to reduce the self-weight and prolong the life of the bridge, the decks of the main span and access ramps should be converted from reinforced concrete to a lighter weight and longer lasting Glass Reinforced Polyester construction.

Edward Williams Furniture and Sam Kopsch Studio with Peldon Rose Workplace Consultants have used Glacier White Corian® from CD UK to make a bespoke boat shaped reception desk for a Thames-side serviced office building in London. With stunning views of HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge, the 1,810 sq ft reception area features suspended propellers and two acrylic wall-mounted, back-lit boat hulls. The 68 000 sq/ft building offers 700 workstations in six floors of serviced offices, all with breathtaking views of the city. 15 meeting rooms with capacity for between four and 100 people have been designed to complement the maritime theme.

But now they can control sunlight, insects and privacy with screens and shades that are built into the doorjamb. These screens and shades retract out of sight when not in use so the original design intent of the space is assured. Knife safety is thrown into sharp relief with the retractable safety knife, cord and karabiner from leading physical security product supplier, Securikey. Ideal for warehouse and distribution centre use, the 90cm cord and karabiner fixing allows for hands-free work whilst still keeping the knife within easy reach, making it one of the most reliable and convenient safety tools on the market. 23
