Casting light upon Queens Quay and Titan Crane Basin

摘要

Thorn Lighting has supplied its stylish, Dyana aluminium road lanterns for Queens Quay, one of the most significant regeneration projects in Clydebank, West Central Scotland. The project is part of a larger urban regeneration development that is taking place around the Titan Crane, a major landmark and tourist attraction in the Clyde Basin and the old John Brown shipyards in Clydebank, A Queens Quay design code has been put in place to ensure a high quality, sustainable development, so it was important that the lighting helped to create an inviting public space that also enhanced the surrounding developments. The 24 hectare Clydebank site is one of Scotland's key waterfront regeneration opportunities with huge transformational potential for the town. The once thriving industrial yard was famous for building the QE2 and Queen Mary. The masterplan is to deliver a vibrant mixed use community that extends Clydebank's existing town centre down to the riverside, enjoying public access to, and focus on, the river frontage, historic dock and iconic Titan Crane. The Titan Crane is the focus of plans to regenerate the Clydebank waterfront, where visitors are able to take the lift to the top of the 150 feet giant crane and walk along the jib and see stunning views of the Clyde and the surrounding landscape.
