Fabrication of Endplates



The design incorporates two galvanised endplates which have been fabricated from large angle-iron, onto which a number of fins have been welded. The endplates are anchored to the foundations by 6 bolts. This fabrication was undertaken by our local blacksmith, Stephen Mather and his able assistant, Stuart Graham. The plates were collected on 6th July 2006.



Once the end-plates were put in place and final drawings were provided in May 2007, it became noticeable that the
foundations were set too far apart. This was remedied by digging a new 250mm trench, securing tie-bars, and pouring concrete assisted by Caroline Burn and Kevin.
