<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Scottish Parliament<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nSustainable Strength – F.H. Brundle’s Stainless Steel Gabions<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nGabion Baskets from FH Brundle were used for the new Scottish Parliament landscaping project.<\/p>\n
Designed by Enric Miralles, the landscaping of the new Holyrood site presented a challenge for the main contractor Laing O’Rourke. Although level differences within the landscaped area varied, in places they were as marked as 5 metres. The solution was the introduction of gabion baskets filled with stone salvaged during the demolition of the buildings previously occupying the site; their appearance was not only of paramount architectural importance, but they also needed to satisfy the issues of aesthetics, durability, sustainability and cost.<\/p>\n
One of the issues faced during the construction was the fact that typical zinc gabion mesh has a different appearance from that desired; so alternative mesh forms, more compatible with the architectural design were considered. The solution to the problem was the use of stainless steel gabion mesh and over a period of approximately 12 months, F H Brundle provided Burdens, supplier to Laing O’Rourke with around fifty stainless steel gabion baskets of varying sizes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nTo date, The Scottish Parliament building has won nine major architectural awards, including the specialist \u2018urban and landscape’ category which recognises the project for demonstrating a high quality urban design and landscape architecture.<\/p>\n
Properly designed, specified and constructed gabion baskets are capable of meeting all the technical and architectural design criteria associated with a retaining wall. Gabion baskets are economical and environmentally acceptable, especially when local rock and soils are used as backfill. They are available in a range of mesh sizes depending on which material is used to fill them. Gabion baskets have a high compressive resistance and tensile strength capacity. They allow free drainage of water through the structure and vegetation can be incorporated to blend in with the local environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
