The quality of Angle Ring s work is provided
by the new Tipton Sports Academy, a project with
which Betty Boothroyd, former Speaker of the House
of Commons has been closely involved.
The complete project was designed by Sandwell M.B.C. s
own architects and engineers. |

The 450 mm deep beams, which form the sweeping
curves for the roofs of the main tennis halls, were
curved on Angle Ring s cold-rolling facility
while the 500 mm diameter tubes for the dramatic
main arches, from which the roofs are suspended,
were curved by induction-bending, a hot forming
process.
The recently opened building provides Tipton with
one of the best, and one of the most striking, facilities
in the Midlands. |
| Other local projects for which Angle Ring have
supplied curved sections include the Birmingham
Snow Hill Development, Merry Hill Monorail Stations,
Aston Science Park, Aston University, Kidderminster
Leisure Centre, Black Country Museum, Britannic
Assurance and Sea World in Birmingham, Cable &
Wireless College in Coventry. |
