Completion of Eureka! Science + Discovery

In December 2022 we achieved practical completion on the new Eureka! Science + Discovery exhibition on the banks of the Mersey. It was a huge achievement for us, at £3.5million this was the largest project we’ve undertaken to date. We are very proud of the end result and have had a lot of positive feedback on the high standard we achieved.

We were awarded the project by Eureka! late in 2020 amidst the backdrop of the pandemic and all the uncertainty that came with it. So, as well as being a major feather in our cap, it also brought a huge sigh of relief that we had secured a large body of work in uncertain times.

With multiple complex sub-contracts, and lots of challenging manufacture we needed two full time project managers and at times up to four CAD designers!

It’s easy to forget the development journey, meetings and heaps of emails when a job crosses the finish line. Below is a small snippet of the journey for the Hedge exhibit in the Nature gallery.

From concept visual from Real Studios, Workhaus 3D Cad model, cnc machining - to on site completion

With so many interesting elements, this job was a privilege and lots of fun to build. It’s not every day you get to create such theatrical and creative work. Now we’ve proved ourselves, it’s onward and upward to the next big challenge!
