Architecture & Structural

"We pride ourselves on supplying prestigious architectural and structural project which employ castings in high strength or visually sympathetic stainless steels"

Infrastructure

We manufacture steel castings, allowing architects the freedom to achieve unique and architecturally attractive components
for bridges and buildings. Whilst infrastructure components may be by design decorative only, they can also utilise the high
strength and reliability of steel to carry structural loads.

Utilising castings allows for production of complex geometries with high strength, ductility and toughness with
excellent surface finishes, maintaining the functional design brief. Finishing processes such as machining, fabrication,
welding and painting are regularly included in our work scope; all part of the service that we provide.

There are several inherent benefits to specifying castings for infrastructure applications, due to the
manufacturing flexibility that exists. The correct design and execution of infrastructure castings can yield
minimal stress concentrations and reduced load fatigue sensitivity.

A range of material grades can be specified, in which the through section mechanical and
metallurgical properties can be provided to support the design process. As cast components
are produced near net shape and are highly repeatable and accurate, they are the shrewd
architect’s choice for prestigious projects.

The Ludwig Erhard Haus, Germany Designed by British architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw who won the design competition run by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce for generating the best design for this prestigious building.

Oakland Bay Bridge California, USA

Stainless Steel, 3,500Kg, Finished machined Stainless steel cast foot for the Ludwig Erhard Haus, assembled and in position, consisting of two cast cladding pieces and one foot piece. The castings were surface ground, grit blasted and then acid pickled in order to achieve a uniform and visually pleasing surface finish, free from rust contamination.

Stratford Regional Station, UK Stratford Regional Station is on the Jubilee Line Extension linking central London with the Docklands and Greenwich. The Jubilee line will serve the Olympic Park for the 2012 Olympic games to be held in London. Goodwin supplied the castings which support the station roof.

Carbon Steel, 5,500Kg, Finished Machined The building's curved roof springs from the upper-level walkway, parallel with the main railway lines and sweeps up to a high glazed wall. Each curved roof arch is supported by a 5,500Kg base casting manufactured by Goodwin.

Wembley Stadium, UK Wembley Stadium, London, England. The nodes hang from the famous arch to support the bulk of the 1,300 tonne roof load.

High Tensile Carbon Steel,1,500Kg, finished Machined Wembley Stadium, London, England. Goodwin supplied 30 tonnes of cast nodes in a high tensile strength carbon steel for the new Wembley Stadium.

Paddington Station, UK Goodwin was selected to provide the castings for the Paddington Station Masterplan extension. Due to the scale of the new roof, the use of duplex stainless steel castings to articulate key structural junctions was an economic and visually attractive solution, in which a series of duplex stainless steel nodes for the roof were developed and produced by Goodwin.

Government Cabinet Offices, UK Goodwin produced and machined the metal structure for this project and were closely involved in the design work and architectural features incorporated within the support columns.

Stainless Steel, 1,837Kg, Finished machined Stainless steel columns which incorporate vertical drainage and glazing arms for the refurbished walkway canopy at the Government Cabinet Offices, Whitehall, London

Triton Square building, UK 26off cast and fabricated structural columns, supports and nodes were manufactured for the scenic lifts on the Triton Square building, London. Each column is architecturally appealing as well as critiacl to the support of the structure. Previous

Paddington Station, UK A combination of stainless steel and glass was a natural choice for the station's extension. Goodwin high strength cast stainless steel spiders is a modern upgrade in empathy with the original innovation shown by the victorian engineers of the time. Previous
