m-tec were selected to manufacture the nine metre, mirror polished sculpture which stands proud in the recently developed town centre of Irvine.
The sculpture was fabricated using 12mm thick grade 316 stainless steel sheets which were then welded together to form the unique shape. There is granite text lain into the ground below which is written in reverse, but when you read it using the mirror finish on the sculpture you are able to read the text which is based on the history of the town.
The project was a joint venture between artist Peter McCaughey, Irvine Bay Regeneration, Land Engineering and m-tec.
