Creating Reliable Column Protectors for Safety and Durability
November 2024, C&C Fabrications
Providing Quality and Crucial Column Protectors
C&C Fabrications were tasked with providing a custom fabrication solution to protect high-traffic concrete columns in a new apartment building car park in Liverpool. The challenge was to ensure safety, durability, and a seamless fit, all while maintaining a polished aesthetic.
The Challenge – Enhancing Safety and Durability in a High-Traffic Environment
The developer needed a solution to safeguard the concrete columns in the car park from frequent vehicle impacts. The column protectors had to:
- Provide durable protection from vehicle collisions.
- Withstand the wear and tear of constant impact.
- Maintain a visually appealing look in the car park.
- Be installed quickly with minimal disruption to the site.
The Solution – Custom Column Protectors Designed for Impact
C&C Fabrications designed and fabricated bespoke column protectors tailored to the project’s requirements. The solution included:
- Precision Fabrication: Custom protectors were crafted to fit the specific dimensions of each column, providing full coverage on the corners.
- Durability: The protectors were galvanised to prevent rust and corrosion, followed by a powder-coated finish to offer long-term resilience.
- Quick Installation: The installation process was completed within eight days, ensuring the project was on schedule without causing disruption to the construction site.
The fabrication and coating process took three weeks, with the installation phase lasting eight days.
The Result – Robust Protection and Enhanced Aesthetics
The custom column protectors successfully met the developer’s needs by providing:
- Effective Protection: The protectors shielded the columns from vehicle impacts, reducing the risk of damage and preserving the structural integrity of the car park.
- Durability: The galvanisation and powder coating ensured long-lasting protection and aesthetic appeal.
- Quick Turnaround: The installation was completed efficiently, minimising downtime on-site and ensuring the project stayed on track.
From the Client: “C&C delivered a highly effective solution for our car park. The column protectors not only provide excellent protection but also enhance the overall look of the space.”
From C&C Fabrications: “We take pride in providing tailored solutions that meet both functional and aesthetic needs, ensuring long-term durability and safety.”
Another Successful Project – Bespoke Aluminium Panels with Diamond-Shaped Cutouts
In addition to the column protectors, C&C Fabrications recently completed a complex project that involved the production of over 300 bespoke aluminium panels with diamond-shaped cutouts. These panels, designed to cover unsightly roller shutters, had to meet very specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
