Ekki timber beams |
Context
Ecochoice supplied Ekki wooden beams for the dry docks in Swansea. The dry docks needed new sluice paddles to ensure their boat refurbishing area could continue to work for many years to come.
Project details
The old paddles were made of Greenheart timber and had reached the end of their service life, which was very long given the age of the original drawing from 1962.
All measurements needed to be converted from imperial to metric and were planed to finished size 330 x 330mm, including precision-drilled holes.
