Litestructures Helps Make a Christmas Wish Come True

Creative aluminium specialists Litestructures has designed and manufactured a unique triangular ground support structure for the SpinVox Wishing Well, an interactive public installation as part of Covent Garden London's Christmas Delight campaign, designed by FreeState.

Litestructures was approached by Brighton based design and development experts Millimetre to produce an outdoor system that would create a visual delight both externally and internally. Litestructures technical sales manager Paul Hadfield discussed the 'Wishing Well' concept with Millimetre's Marc Thomas and Ivan Clarke to gain a greater understanding of what was required of the final installation and the Litestructures design and manufacturing team swung into action to provide the structure.

The main support structure is 7.2m high with 6m spans between each tower and consists of Litestructures high performance LitePro290 trussing range along with a custom triangular staging system that would also assist with the ballast requirements of the overall system.

Paul Hadfield comments: ‘'When we were contacted by the guys at Millimetre my immediate thoughts was that a three-leg triangular ground support system of this size was quite unique, however I was confident that with Litestructures highly experienced team involved we would make this happen. Having seen the finished installation it really is breathtaking and certainly draws the visitors in. It has been a pleasure working with Millimetre and we look forward to dealing with them again, just like ourselves they are renowned for thinking outside of the box to create unique designs with great results''

The Spinvox Wishing Well can be viewed until 5th January 2009 on the East Piazza at Covent Garden, London. www.spinvoxwishingwell.com
