Project Summary
Grankraft adopts a customer-centric approach and ensures client involvement from project inception to execution which is especially important when working with public art.
As part of the Dubai Walls Festival in 2016 we manufactured a unique 8m high sculpture which is located at the public realm of City Walk. This eye-catching structure consists of 24 spiral profiles built in satin finish stainless steel. Each individual piece is made from a RHS profile which was bent into its 3-dimensional shape. Every piece is identical in geometry and is arranged in a circular footprint to form the overall shape and are joined at the top with an oculus opening. Controlling the accuracy of the bending was crucial to achieve the uniform appearance of the sculpture which was pre-assembled in the factory and transported to site.
Our expertise in value engineering and usage of innovative technologies have made it possible for us to accomplish this complex and urban design within the demanding program.
