Tower Gateway docklands railway station architects CAD view showing the two walls both inner and outer and the overall outlook of the site.

The site before construction begins, looking quite stark and uninviting. Infact it is difficult to see that it is a staion entrance at all.

The vertical inner wall constructed using the Gabion 700 system all in the triple life coating system 3" x 3" x 3mm meshing.

The finished article showing the external wall with its 9 in 1 trapezoidal incline up to 2m high then the rest is battered over at steeper angle, all of these exposed faces are covered in 3" x 0.5" x 4mm mesh to prevent climbing.

Final picture showing the station after opening, the difference is quite marked as all the dark corners have now gone making the station entrance much more inviting which was the brief of the project, part of the urban regeneration of the Capitol.
