Bespoke Architectural Dog Runs Take Shape
West Bromwich, United Kingdom, September 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Work is being completed on the Raystede Animal Centre in Lewes, East Sussex. The project features two elements; a traditional portal frame structure accommodating a new equine centre and bespoke architectural dog runs.
The £2 million lottery funded extension to the specialist animal welfare centre has been designed by Waterside Architects with A & F Pilbeam undertaking the main contractor role. The steelwork contractor, Hillcrest Structural, has erected 90t of hot and cold rolled steel for the project of which Albion Sections has provided the cold rolled steel to the equine centre and tensioning tie wire system to the dog runs.
Gary Fry, Hillcrest Structural’s Design Engineer commented: “The nature of this design has required us to work closely with the technical team at Albion Sections. The unusual bespoke diagonal tie wire system for the dog run consists of 30m security tension wires lengths, installed horizontally in rows of five above 6ft high fencing enclosing the dog run.”
The additional facilities within the Raystede Animal Centre will aid the charity to house the 1500 arrivals of unwanted and abandoned animals that arrive at the centre annually.
