Annandale Design contributed to the iconic V&A Dundee, delivering precision-engineered duplex stainless steel components. These elements form part of the building’s distinctive façade, supporting the horizontal stone panels that define its striking architectural identity.
Project Overview & Design Brief
- Contribution to an iconic architectural landmark
- High-performance duplex stainless steel
- Precision-engineered façade components
- Structural support for stone cladding
- Manufactured to exacting tolerances
Engineering, Fabrication & Installation
This project required the fabrication of specialist duplex stainless steel components, chosen for their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. These elements play a critical role in supporting the building’s horizontal stone panels, which form its unique exterior.
Given the prominence of the building, precision was essential. Each component was manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure perfect alignment during installation. The materials and finishes were selected to perform over the long term while maintaining structural integrity.
Our team worked closely with project stakeholders to ensure all elements met the required specifications. The result is a series of components that contribute both structurally and visually to one of Scotland’s most recognisable buildings.
Final Result & Visual Impact
The finished structure stands as a testament to innovative design and engineering excellence. Annandale Design’s contribution supports the building’s iconic form, delivering strength, precision, and long-lasting performance.
