JVM Castings recently completed designing and commissioning of a new lightweight aluminium die casting for building developments at International Quarter London, a press release from the company confirmed yesterday. IQL is a project that will offer over 4 million square feet of Grade ‘A’ office accommodation, including 333 new residential units and associated community facilities.
JVM Castings were awarded this project by TROX UK, which is a leading designer and manufacturer of HVAC and building services solutions. JVM Castings was to design and supply several structural spurs that play a major architectural element in the formed ventilation and lighting beam carriers of TROX UK.
JVM Castings were asked to design an aluminium pressure die casting of 1.5m in length with a sleek and tight visual surface finish which had a strict weight perimeter of not more than 2kgs. They were also entrusted with the responsibility of manufacturing tools for a 2,000 tonne die casting machine and supplying production parts. What is to be noted here is that they were to deliver all these at a cost lower than sand and gravity casting processes and within a time frame of 16 weeks.

JVM Castings finished designing and manufacturing of the tooling before time in collaboration with one of their partner toolmakers and delivered within strict deadlines.
Commenting on the successful commissioning, Bob Freeman, Group Sales Manager at JVM’s said, “We’re exceptionally proud of our work, especially as it takes us outside our traditional automotive market and into exciting new building markets.”
