Most years, Production Glassfibre would be involved in a one-off project which is slightly significant for one reason or another. Simulator seats for the BT exhibition at the Millennium Dome for example or a kilometre of sandstone balustrading air freighted to Moscow to surround a house occupied by we don't know who!

In the recent past we’ve had more than a few interesting construction ‘super’ projects to boast off. As part of the dockside redevelopment in Dundee, Tayside, the planners decreed that a 45m diameter, 9m high rainwater tank should be clad in the local stone. Production Glassfibre undertook the project to manufacture plugs, moulds and panels in a glassfibre replication before fixing and erecting in a contract valued in excess of £250,000.

Another example is significantly smaller but still significant! Scotland's flagship millennium project is the joining of the Forth and Clyde canals by means of a revolutionary 'wheel' arrangement which transfers vessels from one to the other. The 10m. hoops on the aqueduct leading to the 'wheel' were manufactured in three pieces at our factory, before being joined and erected on site. Total project time was twelve weeks from order to sign-off!

From the bodywork for minute Mileage Marathon vehicles to the Formwork for the concrete at massive Sports Stadiums, or mock masonry for a Scottish Stately Home, glassfibre is often the ideal material and Production Glassfibre nearly always the ideal moulder!!

For the 2012 Olympics, we were called on to make the formwork for the four Diving Boards in the Aquatic Centre.  Designed by Iranian Architect Zaha Hadid, the single pore structures will have a shape and surface finish which sets them out as works of art as much as works of concrete!
