London Monumental Challenge for Webnet
One of the capital’s most famous landmarks, the 70 metre tall London Monument has recently re‐opened to the public following the conclusion of an 18 month programme of essential repairs, improvements and restoration work.
Completed in 1677, Sir Christopher Wren’s monument to the Great Fire is the tallest isolated stone column in the world ‐ standing 202 feet high, and 202 feet from the spot in Pudding Lane where it is believed the fire started.
Over 100,000 visitors climb the 311 spiral steps to the Monument’s observation gallery every year, and one of the key elements of the £4.5 million programme was the provision of a new viewing platform to ensure that visitors continue to enjoy panoramic views across the city in complete safety.
Designed by Julian Harrap Architects, the two‐metre high platform features a stainless steel balustrade ‘cage’ which is completely enclosed by MMA Architectural System’s stainless steel Webnet system. Replacing a traditional 1950’s iron bar structure, the new platform was lifted in place by crane in two separate sections and welded together in situ by Littlehampton Welding Ltd; the Webnet system was then installed by MMA on site.
Commenting on the installation, MMA director, Nikki Errington, said: “This was a fantastic project to be involved in and we’re absolutely delighted with the result. From the design brief, we worked closely with the architect and contractor to develop a tailored solution, the Webnet system completely enclosing the viewing platform without compromising the spectacular views”.
Manufactured from high‐grade stainless steel rope, Webnet is a versatile and pliable mesh system, providing high strength and long‐life performance in addition to low maintenance and whole‐life costs. The system has many applications including balustrading, plant supports, safety nets, fencing and bird or animal enclosures.
Available in a wide range of sizes, Webnet may be coated in any RAL colour, to suit specific design and functional project needs. The system is both UV and weather resistant – making it the ideal solution for outdoor use and harsh environments ‐ including coastal areas.
Jakob Webnet for Sports Nets
Jakob Webnet is a hugely versatile and flexible material. Manufactured from high quality marine grade stainless steel, the Webnet wire mesh system has been used in projects worldwide, covering everything from balustrade infill and green walls to animal enclosures and fall protection systems. Here we focus on Webnet featuring in a number of sports net applications, including a major appearance at the London 2012 Olympics.
We supplied our Jakob Webnet system as balustrade infill around the 100m viewing pier and 1,000sqm clubhouse at The Wave, a spectacular inland surfing destination.
Delivering the perfect combination of strength, durability and weather resistance, the stainless steel sports net was the perfect solution for this application. The 1.5mm x 60MW (mesh width) system provides completely safe views from both the clubhouse and pier, enabling spectators to not only watch the surfers, but also to see at close quarters the incredible swell created from around 1,000 waves per hour.
Providing protection for a rooftop playground
In many of the world’s major cities, space is increasingly at a premium. This is certainly true in the skyscraper packed city of New York, where many schools struggle to create space for outdoor sports activities.
However, at St. Luke’s, an installation of large Webnet panels has helped transform the school’s roof space into a permanent sports field – providing safety, security and transparency.
Acting as an effective and silent ‘ball catch net’ on the roof of the school, the Webnet allows a unique view over the city’s magnificent skyline.
Webnet Sports Net Providing a safe environment at a stylish Golf Park
Webnet was specified for this modern golf park at Holzhäusern in Switzerland, the robust and reliable sports net system providing an unobtrusive security net on the stylish club house’s balconies and staircase.
Featuring sleeveless Webnet in a stainless steel balustrade frame, the system ensures the safety of golfers and visitors – and also that ricochets and mishits from the driving range don’t hit other players.
Outstanding performance at London’s Olympic Park
Designed to manage and guide the flow of visitors at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Webnet balustrading plays a key role in the organisation of pedestrian traffic.
The Webnet wire mesh infill was manufactured using marine grade 316 stainless steel and underwent rigorous testing to ensure it would stand up to the huge Olympic crowds.
More than a decade on, the sports net system continues to provide a robust, weather resistant solution, and with very little maintenance required, will deliver outstanding performance for many years to come.
