Lowstock Hall WW1 War Memorial

DP Studio was commissioned by South Ribble Council to technically design and fabricate a 9m high Cor-Ten Sculpture, in commemoration of the soldiers that lost their lives in WW1.

This striking memorial is manufactured from Cor-Ten steel and will form a centre piece of the Peace Garden which is to be completed in Summer 2016.

The structure was designed by David Palmer of DP Structures from concept drawings by South Ribble Council. The giant steel framework was then fabricated in box section and clad in CORTEN steel that will leave a patina over time. The names of local soldiers of the Leyland and Chorley areas are laser cut into the back skin.

The structure took 8 weeks to manufacture and was erected in October 2015.There was a grand opening of the sculpture by local dignitaries on 11th November 2015.

Moss Nook

DP Studio manufactured 2 units that formed the entrance features to a new housing estate in St. Helens.

The design was based off the old papermill that was on the site along with the mill chimney that created the skyline of that period.

The Cor-Ten that comes from the cone depicts a roll of paper.

Borehamwood

DP Studio designed the artwork and details of the new boundary treatment of the old British MGM studios in Borehamwood for Buckingham group.

Four films were chosen to create a perimeter fencing using Cor-Ten as a contrasting material to the grey fence.

The fence was made from 4mm Cor-Ten and stands 3m tall in panels of 8m sections.

Gainsborough Baltic Mill

The Baltic Mill site was to be landscaped into a seating area. DP Studio was tasked to manufacture a pergola depicting the town of Gainsborough and the river past the mill.

The map was manufactured from a 10mm thick Cor-Ten on a subframe and the box section arches are from galvanised mild steel and powder-coated rust colour.

The size of the piece 5m x 3m with five 3m legs.

Swinton Greenway

Several Cor-Ten features for a new cycle route were installed, following the disused railway track of the Clifton line, Swinton.

A 14m wide Cor-Ten tunnel entrance to commemorate where the tunnel once stood, a set of leaves at the park entrance and a set of locomotive wheels, 2.8m high, as a sign at a three way junction were manufactured.
