Architect: Chapman Taylor Partnership
Consultants: WSP Consultants
Candela Light designed and manufactured 200 car-park columns and globe lanterns specifically for the Trafford Centre. A unique cast base was developed, incorporating both the Trafford Centre logo and a frieze showing the dome and pillars of the main centre building. This design was carried across to the bollards and railings which were manufactured by Candela Light for the car park, walkways and bus terminal areas.
The columns comprise of a structural steel shaft and base with a cast embellishment casting which was fitted on site.A large base casting of the same design was produced to enhance the CCTV camera columns throughout the site.
The railing panels at the bus terminals have a fully concealed fixing system for a seamless finish. The bollards were designed to be highly vandal resistant and have a galvanised steel tubular core, covered by the finely cast exterior.
Structural calculations formed a vital part of the Candela design brief. The location, wind loadings, CCTV cameras, banners and flower baskets all had to be considered in this process.
Our in-house design and production departments were able to meet all the demands and deadlines expected when working on a prestigious project of this scale.
