Barnshaws Polska has been using their expertise in the construction of a giant retail sign. The sign is

located in Hungary and Barnshaws has been able to use the specialist knowledge of the fabrication of

steel while constructing the sign. The main contractor for this project was a company that originates

from Budapest and awarded the contract to Barnshaws because of their reputation for working with the

materials specified for the sign.

Barnshaws is known for their ability to create and supply curved sections of steel for a number of

different projects. As part of this sign work, the company worked to supply around 40 tonnes of steel

that had to be precision rolled in order to make sure that the cylinder and cones that were created fit

perfectly and were able to support the Triangle sign structure that sat at the top. The company has

already worked on a number of projects where they have had to supply curved structures of pipes and

tubes to the site of some of Europe’s largest construction projects.

The steel plates that were selected in order to make the structures for the sign included 12,14,16 and 18

thickness. The curved steel specialists then used their in-house rolling abilities which allowed them to

create the different cones and cylinders that were needed for the project. Each of the cylinders had a

height of 3000 mm with diameters of the cones and the cylinders between 1000 mm and 1500 mm. The

sections were then beveled in order to allow them to be welded together easily on the site while the

sign was being constructed. Barnshaws are continuing to expand their reputation as one of the best

profile bending companies in the world. The company works on a range of different projects including

work within the construction sector, power generation, mining, transport and general manufacturing.
