The Golf Club d’Hulencourt in Belgium approached us early in 2020 to help elevate their brand and signage. Moving swiftly on the eve of the UK Covid Lockdown, we visited the club to discuss their requirements in detail. From day one, it was obvious there were going to be a few interesting challenges in this heavily detailed project, all of which we met healthily together as a very positive relationship between ourselves and the customer developed, and a flagship project emerged.
Harnessing the “view frame” detail meant pushing our metal fabrication to the limits! To achieve visual correctness, we had to craft totems with a depth of over 100mm. Using aluminium with a quality powder-coated finish, we ensured the seamless engineering of these structures, as well as manufacturing something that would be suitable to stand the test of time.
Building the totems took less than a day and making good around the “view frame” took twice as long, but it was well worth the patience. The powder coat process is not forgiving to blemishes and scratches, but it was selected as the best finish for aesthetics and longevity. The end result is superb!
All graphics needed to be raised to achieve a high-quality aesthetic, but some of the details were very fine. This demanded innovative thinking to choose the right medium that could work across the full range of signage sizes. Laser-cutting modified acrylic was our way forward, bonding pre-coloured text carefully to the surface of the powder-coating, like that of a badge on the rear of a high-quality car, producing a visually striking result.
Another challenge was retaining the same look and feel for the finger post while meeting the customer’s requirements to be able to move, change, and add fingers. All parts were precisely crafted aluminium fabrication with a powder-coated finish, matching the totem. The finger arms are fully adjustable and attach to a separate, fully adjustable pole that slides down into the main post. It appears as one piece but offers flexibility without compromising on the cohesive design.
This project employed the full spectrum of our team’s skills and expertise, surpassing the client’s expectations. Our dedication to quality production, innovative design, meticulous fabrication, and customer care is evident throughout. The Golf Club d’Hulencourt is a showcase golf course with signage they are very proud of, created with precision and artistry.
