Project Overview

The National Army Museum required a solution to prevent skaters from grinding on a plinth supporting a Challenger 2: Main Battle Tank. Their concern was around the integrity of the wall edge and its potential to snag passersby and potentially causing harm. The Museum opted to have the anti-skate studs installed before any major damage could accumulate, saving them any serious cost of repair to the structure.

The anti-skate stud chosen was the 4mm Torpedo Anti-Skate Stud, this was due to the matching outer radius of the wall edge.

Installation

The studs were installed by drilling two holes into the grouting as not to damage the masonry. Epoxy resin was then applied before the studs were inserted.
