Had Fab Ltd.
Antony Gormley's sculptures, often based on casts of his own body, adorn public spaces and galleries across the globe, from well-known works like 'Angel of the North' to his newest creation 'Exposure'.
Exposure, a 25.6m high statue of a crouching Gormley is due on site in the summer of 2010 in Lelystad, Holland.
Exposure is fabricated from RSA (rolled steel angle) sections. Although the main model was created in Tekla Structures 13, Version 14 was used for modelling the individual nodes, the heaviest of which weighs 280kg. The complexity of fabrication required that Had-Fab undertake a full trial erection of 'Exposure' before commencing delivery to site in Holland. This involved the design, fabrication and erection of a crane in their assembly yard, for which Had-Fab also poured 540 tonnes of concrete foundations. The total weight of the project was 60 tonnes and took 18 months to complete fabrication and erection.
