install week

its been a busy week this week, so busy that the week will have to be blogged about in at least 2 entries. its been install week and me and deb have been busy installing bike racks at 3 sites around the city.

 

these are 2 bike racks we got manufactured at a stainless steel place across the street from our studio. handy.

here are 2 more, for the second site.

 

there are different images on each side.

 

this is the bronze branch rack. we had 2 made, but will only install one at the site. 

we picked up all these bike racks and had them ready to go on monday. 

 

on tuesday morning we started outside the botanic gardens, installing the branch rack.

 

it didn;t take too long to dig the 4 holes required to set in the footings. 

 

then we set it in concrete and left it to set over night. the bitumen needs to be refilled around the base to complete it.  this was the simplest instal of all three to do. some final photos to follow next week. 

 

from here it was off to the second site.

we had to dig out under the red brick paver and make enough room for the bike racks to fit in.

 

we set them in place and then we concreted them in place.

 

deb set up office on the nearby bench, organising the late city work permits form her mobile office. 

they look good, but this artwork will not be complete until next monday when we put on the line marking on the ground below. 

photos of the third and most involved bike racks to follow.
