Project Brief

Brooklands Park has recently opened and was unveiled with over 30 pieces of equipment in it, Blakedown were hired to provide the full regeneration of the park. We were contacted by Martin Wiles, the senior contracts manager. Our role in this was to provide the railings and gates that go around the park and also the entry sign for the park. The sign was going to be powder coated in yellow and all gates and railings in black.

Alpha Rail’s Approach:

Here at Alpha Rail, we have a team of Bespoke Metalwork specialist technicians that support our clients to make the right choice for their project. We’re able to advise on design, size and other technical specifications. In this specific project, our approach was clear – Flat Top Railings were the right product for the job.

For this project we started by communicating with Martin at Blakedown to find out exactly what they were looking for. They wanted us to provide them with black flat top railings to go round the park with two self-closing gates integrated into them. They also wanted us to provide a large entrance sign powder coated in yellow.

We provided accurate detailed drawings that served as a foundation for the fabrication process. We then used our plasma cutting machine to accurately and precisely cut and shape the sign plate. The projects were close to sea, meaning the finish was galvanised and powder coated to suit a coastal environment.

The Results

This project went well, the end client was happy that it all turned out successfully for the opening of the park. We were successful in the part we played as we managed to provide the customer with everything they initially asked for to a high standard.
