Case Studies
Here are some real examples of how Base has delivered on a range of projects; from the landmark Nottingham University Samworth Academy TEXO® roof structure to Zaha Hadid Architects’ stunning interior fabric architecture for the Manchester International Festival and the world-class Heathrow Terminal 5 entrance canopies.
Case Studies
Basketball Case Study
“We have worked with other fabric contractors over the years. Frankly, Base has shown an altogether higher level of service and professionalism.”
Up at The O2 Case Study
“This has been a highly demanding project – we’ve got extremely tight deadlines, the design is one of a
kind and the construction has presented all sorts of logistical and technical challenges. But these kinds of
projects are what we do best and we’re working with some great partners.”
Lords Mound Stand Canopy Case Study
"Thanks to its 'tented' roof, the Mound Stand has long been regarded as one of the iconic buildings at Lord's. We're delighted that, once again, it's looking back to its best. I am equally pleased that, in partnership with our contractors, we have delivered this important project ahead of schedule - and below budget as well."
Newhaven ERF Case Study
“Base Structures found a technical solution on the basis of their knowledge, creativity and problem solving attitude. They transferred successfully the information from design study onto the final construction.”
Slimbridge WWT Case Study
“It was refreshing to work with a straight-talking provider with a wealth of knowledge and experience. At WWT we like to develop an honest working relationship with our providers and our choice of Base Structures reflected this philosophy.”
Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 Case Study
“Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 was a wonderful experience, not only providing Base with an opportunity to establish ourselves as a leading UK tensile fabric sub-contractor, but also to demonstrate the high quality results that can be achieved with complex and challenging landmark projects.”
MSCP Cardiff Case Study
“The MSCP Cardiff project was a pretty challenging brief. With Base we had the combined strengths of creative flair, rigorous design and a meticulous build quality that ultimately meant a higher performing end product for the client.”
Zaha Hadid - Manchester International Festival Case Study
“It has been a pleasure to work with Base Structures on the J.S. Bach Chamber Music Hall. They have a positive attitude and flexible approach towards challenging proposals. Their creativity, breadth of experience, and attention to detail were invaluable to the success of the project.”
Nottingham University Samworth Academy Case Study
“When it came to developing the design, I appreciated Base’s honesty and straightforward approach. Their wealth of experience in tensile structures was a great advantage, not to mention the quality product which Base installed quickly and efficiently. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
