Notice Information

Notice Title

Sculptural Comets

Notice Description

Wigan Council require a sculptor for the off-site fabrication of artist designed play features comprising four sculptural comets. The comets are to be constructed of fire-resistant fibreglass and other materials as specified by the artist. During construction and prior to final installation a ROSPA safety inspection and health and safety appraisal will be undertaken with any design modifications incorporated prior to arrival on site. The early commissioning of the sculptural play features will ensure that a) the installation requirements can be fully described to the tendering main works contractors and b) programme delays are avoided when on site. The future vision for Haigh Hall woodlands is to engage communities with land art, regenerative sculpture, and site-specific sculpture inspired by the heritage and environment. Following a bid to ACE a successful project grant was agreed to match fund NLHF to build on the initial project impact.
