Street Planters
Buckingham Gate
Large galvanised steel street planter with a concealed lifting framework, allowing relocation while fully planted, manufactured for Buckingham Gate in Central London.
About the project
Manufactured for Hasmead plc, this large bespoke street planter was developed for Buckingham Gate in Central London. Measuring approximately 2.5m x 2.5m, the planter required a structural solution that would allow it to be relocated while fully planted, together with specific security detailing appropriate to its public location.
The planter was constructed as two separate structures, with an internal steel framework incorporating tested lifting eyes. This allowed the complete planter, weighing more than three tonnes when filled with soil and planting, to be safely lifted and repositioned without dismantling the structure.
The internal framework was also configured to restrict casual access in accordance with the security requirements of the location. Anti-skate studs were fitted around the perimeter top edge of the external planter.
The complete structure was fabricated from mild steel and hot dipped galvanised to provide corrosion protection. The external planter was subsequently powder coated in RAL 9005 Black Satin to achieve the specified finish.
