Pendock metal column casings create striking finish for West Cheshire College
Published:  15 December, 2011

Metal column casings from Pendock have been used to striking effect at the new West Cheshire College in Ellesmere Port. Designed by Bond Bryan Architects, the landmark building boasts an iconic rotunda which houses 100 of Pendock’s decorative column casings with a brushed aluminium finish. Ranging from 2.5m to 12m in height and spanning 4 floors, the casings were installed by Pendock’s approved installer Leisure Structures and make a significant contribution to the overall interior design of the campus.

Main contractor BAM Construct UK was tasked with reducing proposed build costs by 10% and immediately looked to revise the original specification of steel columns.

“Having worked successfully with Pendock on previous projects, we were aware that the use of their column casings would negate the need for the proposed costly steel columns,” comments project manager Adrian Moss of BAM. The Pendock system allowed the use of a more cost effective cut of steel which would then be enclosed in the casing, resulting in significant cost savings with the added advantage of the eye-catching finish we achieved using brushed aluminium.”
