– Overview –
Our brief was to relocate these diving boards within the Stanford Hall development for restoration and relocation to their final position.
The boards are of a single unit construction with heavy counter balancing.
Upon investigation the exhibit showed signs of exposed reinforcement and concrete spalling.
Each board was protected and supported by a purpose made lifting frame designed, engineered and manufactured by our team of specialists.
