Murdoch Ornamental Award Winner: Architectural
Lead & Metalwork Ltd with The Windsor Collar
Casting (below left)
Sandcast collars manufactured for Windsor Castle. The
project demonstrated the sandcasting technique from
pattern to finished product of rainwater pipe collars that
are used on the restoration work at Windsor castle. The
pattern for this component comprised of a two part section for the body of the collar and a core box for moulding
a sand core, used to create the internal void which houses
the rainwater pipe.
Murdoch Sponsors Award Finalist: Lead It Be Ltd with
Madrid Road (above)
Previous lead works had been undertaken by others in
2005 which had not included ventilation and extensive
underside corrosion had taken place. The storms early
this year managed to remove half of the dormer top. The
contractor viewed the damage and redesigned the roof to
LCA guide standards using wood rolls and the essential
ventilation, then undertook the works to 3 dormer windows sectioned into central lead valley/ gutter. Dormer
roofs consist of 4x lead bays at 600 centres. Stainless steel
45° profile used to form drip edge and prevent repeated
wind lift in extreme conditions. The lead was supplied by
ALM.
