EvadX shortlist for prestigious 2009 Structural Steel Design Awards.

Image Library LinkWe are pleased to announce that Hafod Eryri (The Snowdon Summit Building) has been shortlisted for the prestigious 2009 Structural Steel Design Awards.

Hafod Eryri is a single storey braced steel frame located on the summit of Snowdon to replace the original building constructed in the 1930s.

Evadx were proud to have been chosen as the main steelwork contractor of the summit building which was modelled and detailed on StruCAD, each phase of the project was subsequently fabricated at our premises in North Wales. Transporting over 100 tonnes of steel and more than 2,500 bolts up the mountainside was never going to be an easy feat and was mad a lot more difficult by freak June rainfall. A trial construction of the frame was carried out at the Corus site at Deeside before the frame was galvanised to ensure the plant and machinery were suitable and the phasing would work due to the unusual shape.

Final awards will be announced at an evening reception to be held on Thursday 9th July 2009.
