Britain's best source of building product information

When fire destroyed the famous 007 stage at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire in July 2006, the pressure was really on to rebuild it in time to meet the tight filming schedules for the feature film production of ‘Mamma Mia!’. Fast and accurate fabrication of Metsec light gauge galvanised steel purlins played a key part in getting everything completed on time. Bourne Steel, the structural steel contractors for the rebuild project, were allowed only sixteen weeks from design to completion. Half of this demanding timescale was needed to carry out the off-site manufacturing programme including design detailing, fabrication, painting and delivery. With trusses weighing in at 26.5 tonnes, complicated lifting operations were needed to work around the underwater tank in the centre of the site - the biggest in Europe, and originally built to hold three submarines in The Spy Who Loved Me. Purlins and side rails were specified to connect the rafters and columns of the main steel structure, provide a security restraint, and support the steel cladding on the walls.
