CASE STUDY

Viaduct supports for
Paris Metro Line 11

William Cook Cast Products was approached by architect
Marc Mimram and Paris transport operator RATP to design
and develop a cast steel support for an elevated metro
station.

William Cook used CAD and Finite Element Analysis to
validate the strength of the design, before carrying out
MAGMA fill and solidification simulation to be sure of a sound
casting. The two prototypes, each 6m high and 12 tonnes in
weight, are among the largest castings ever poured at William
Cook’s Sheffield plant.

CASE STUDY

Torso nodes for
Heathrow Terminal 5

In the early 1990s, William Cook Cast Products worked with architects Foster and Partners and consulting engineers Ove Arup to pioneer the use of cast steel components in the construction of Stansted Airport.

A decade later, William Cook worked alongside architects Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners to design and manufacture the torso nodes and feet for Heathrow Terminal 5. The 264 high-integrity castings, weighing several tonnes each, demonstrate the structural and aesthetic advantages of steel castings in architectural applications.
