This week I visited a granite factory in Vigo, Spain to inspect flamed granite coping stones for the Canary Wharf Crossrail project. Flying into Porto and driving across the border into Spain we arrived in Vigo late that night. The next day the contractor and I arrived at Eurobandas early to check the production. I must say the inspection was very easy, the coping was perfect and the contractor (Commercial Stone Limited) said as much when we saw the example that had been produced. Dimensions spot on, flaming perfect and colour consistent. Some of the raw material had slight movement and darker veins, CSL requested they avoided any inconsistent markings where possible.

Here are some images from a dry lay and completed project for which we supplied some beautiful light classic, Navona and Walnut travertine for. Unfilled Navona on the walls, resin filled (for performance)cross cut on the floor in both Classic and Walnut.

The building was the reception in the DS3 tower at Canary Wharf, the client Fitch Holdings and the architect KPF. The stone was fixed by Commercial Stone Limited.
