In addition to industry-leading competence in Design and Manufacturing, IOTA also offers a full suite of site works services, such as levels surveying, and on-site product templating. We also offer complete Installation services, in even the most challenging circumstances.
IOTA was contracted to design, manufacture, supply and install 300 linear metres of bespoke tree planters – to include integrated security fencing, root ball and aerial guy anchor points, and thermal insulation to all internal faces.
The scale of the installation works was substantial, as the planters were supplied in 155nr. sections – each section having average dims. of L 1754 x W 1800 x H 1100mm, with an average weight per section of 247kg.
Installation programme: 4 months, delivery requiring 29nr. dedicated artics.
IOTA was contracted to design, manufacture, supply and install 22nr. interior planters for the focal-point landscaped feature in the public atrium of the former turbine hall. The installation, lasting 6 weeks, required specialist lift-and-shift equipment; and the planters were installed with butyl liners, sealed watertight, and integrated with lighting and drainage.
IOTA was also contracted to design, manufacture and supply [but not install] architectural metalwork for Lots Road: 150nr. ceiling feature elements, of varying size and design – the whole design-integrated with lighting, ventilation and fire extinguisher systems.
IOTA was contracted to design, manufacture, supply and install a bespoke stone-clad planter for the entrance courtyard of the newly-opened Reuben College at Oxford University.
The steel planter is 41 linear metres in length, and was manufactured and supplied in 21nr. sections, designed to the exact arrangement specified.
The installation scope required the planter to be fastened down to a pre-existing concrete foundation; and then for the planters to be clad with 356nr. individual sections of Yorkstone cladding and coping – supplied by others, but to IOTA’s manufacturing design. To create a perfect form, the 356nr. stone sections were individually designed by IOTA to be precisely machined to match the radius of the planter.
Over many years, IOTA has been honoured to design, manufacture, supply and install public realm schemes for the City of London Corporation.
Much of this work has related to large-scale ‘planted perimeters’. These are planters that are open to the ground – often manufactured in Corten Steel, with the material supplied pre-weathered to-site for installation.
Installation works involve full design coordination with the hard landscaping contractor; on-site bedding, levelling and fixing; and on-site project management/site supervision.
Examples of IOTA’s planted perimeters for the City of London Corporation can be seen at Finsbury Circus, Moorgate, and Cursitor Street.
We’ve built an information resource to help landscape trade professionals find out what is possible in sheet metal fabrication, when to specify it, and which metal to choose.
