Landscape Metalwork
Irish Life Centre
Fabworx most prestigious project to date details over 800 meters of powder-coated aluminium planter edging in straight, curved, and corner sections. Featuring ten bespoke modular planters, four linear benches that seamlessly extend from the planters, and a striking curved triangular seating arrangement spanning nine metres while encircling the roof light well, these open spaces create a welcome retreat designed for relaxation, connection and movement breaking from the productivity of its surrounding city architecture.
Featured elements deliver strength and longevity with internal structural bracing while shaping the form, detail, and character of the new landscape design at Irish Life Centre.
Working from the Landscape Architect’s drawings, Fabworx collaborated closely with both the Landscape and Construction teams to finalise engineering solutions, finishes, and installation. Once Fabworx shop drawings were approved, fabrication commenced in phased stages to align with the on-site construction schedule. All products were powder coated finish to QUALICOAT standards, the benches were assembled using individually crafted Iroko hardwood prior to delivery and installation.
The project is due for completion early 2026.

Crucially, all our Corten fabrications are shot blasted at our in-house facility following assembly. This process removes mill scale, expediting the natural weathering process which resumes from a clean surface and ensures a bright, fully developed reddish-orange patina upon delivery. Camera-ready.

Floating Entrance Feature
An interesting entrance feature for this exemplary school build, St. Mary’s Secondary School Ballina, designed to comply with Nearly Zero Energy Building standards. Fabworx design consultation resulted in the engineering of hidden fixtures and joints on the sub frame of each 7m high fin to create the illusion of ‘floating fins’.

Metal Sculpture
The Leaf
This monumental 8 metre leaf sculpture began its journey in Fabworx workshop, offered as a vision in the form of a hand-sketched design. The sketch was
masterfully transformed into precision laser-cut designs by the Design Team. Liam and the Fabrication Team meticulously engineered and assembled each component, ensuring exceptional structural integrity and artistic detail. From the very first consultation, safe handling, transport, and installation were central to the project’s planning. Every stage was calculated to achieve flawless placement and faithful realisation of the vision and aspiration for its erection in a private arboretum in the West of Ireland. The result is a striking fusion of craftsmanship, engineering, and landscape art – an enduring testament to what Corten Steel can achieve in sculptural and architectural form. We call it Engineering Creativity.
Metal Sculpture
The Quill
Once expertly formed, the galvanised steel feather received a Patina finish and was discretely fixed to ‘sit’ in the contrasting Corten Steel laser inscribed ink bottle base. Installed at Maria Edgeworth Centre.
The CIrcle
Raw and unfinished in the workshop, the offset shape highlights precision fabrication and engineering, smooth welds, and sculptural scale before final finishing and installation, sinking the structural base under ground cover.
Metal Sculpture
The Fisherman
The Fisherman was commissioned by a public body with a very simple brief, fishing being of historical and recreational importance to the area. We pieced together a 3D sculpture using 3mm Corten quality graded steel in a low poly style with a fishing rod extending in stainless steel.
