One of Scotland’s largest visitor attractions, The Kelpies stand proud on the banks of the Forth & Clyde canal near Falkirk, with Angle Ring playing a key part in the production of the two 30m high horses heads that elegantly break out of the ground in the 350 hectare parkland in the central lowland region.

The Highways England pedestrian footbridge spanning the A63 between Princes Dock and Hull Marina is now fully open after the two year project was completed in early 2021.

Despite the main curve of the 315m span Wembley arch being faceted in a series of straight sections it still required a large amount of complex bending to produce the lateral rings and jointing plates, which act as the hub for each section. 

Dovetailing with the UK government’s plans for Britain to lead the world in the £4 trillion global market for low carbon environmental goods and services, The Angle Ring Company of Tipton, West Midlands, Europe’s market leader in pipe and plate bending, recognised wind power as a significant potential market as far back as 2003.

One of the most dramatic and exciting projects conceived for the industrial North East has been helped to come to fruition by the skill and expertise of The Angle Ring Company, who are based in the Midlands. Called the Sage Gateshead, the structure is located on the banks of the Tyne at Gateshead Quays and was designed by Foster and Partners who are renowned for their innovative concepts.
