The success of Anthony Gormley’s ‘Angel of the North’, since it’s 20 meter high, 53 meter wide wingspan was first raised aloft the Gates head skyline in 1995, has seen an increasing popularity for commissioning high-profile, large scale public sculpture for any number of urban and landscape projects across the country. Much media attention and controversy was recently focused on the 9 meter high bronze sculpture of a couple locked in an intimate pose, installed at the newly-opened St Pancreas International Station.

 Birch Engineering have been at the heart of specialist steel, plastics and glass sculpture manufacture to the professional artist / maker community for over 20 years. Established sculptors such Diane MacLean, Rick Kirby, John Farnham, Ivor Abrahams  to name a few  regularly call upon us to realize their pieces to the absolute highest standards of quality and durability technically achievable, which will also find their high-profile place in many outdoor public commissions.

 Some of our finest examples of immaculate stainless steel finish to be found across the UK, range as far apart as Diane’s 12 metre high double-helix Mirror Polished Stainless Steel work, entitled ‘DNA (New Discovery)’ at East Dock Dundee to ‘Propeller’, an 8 metre high Coloured Stainless Steel column, shining high into the sky at Heathrow Airport. And a Huge Piece entitled “Mountain” commissioned for the Museum of Natural History which now resided at the University of Hertfordshire Stretching out over 20 M long and over 7m Tall.
