SCX Special Projects

Day 5 of the Ashes and the rain did stop play yesterday. Here are our concept images for a flexible cricket field cover. PS - we've also designed a roof to protect spectators from the SUN... imagine that! ☀ lnkd.in/ehrtpWRz #Ashes2023 #cricket #engvsaus

🌤️🌧️ An unsettled forecast on day 4 of the Ashes - so here's the 4th concept image from our engineers, raising the roof. SCX loves to challenge the view that "it can't be done". After all, we did it at Ascot in 2000, and at Tottenham Hotspur in 2019. #ashes #cricket #engvsaus

Day 3 of the Ashes, image 3 from our engineering team! Here the translucent roof keeps daylight on the cricket field, and rain off it. Homework time: how high does a cricket ball usually get hit? @MCCOfficial @MichaelVaughan @TomMallows_ @gregjames #engvsaus #ashes #cricket

Here's our engineering team's 2nd cricket cover concept image. Interestingly, the CEO of MCC has discussed a fabric roof with @BBCSport: bbc.co.uk/sport/av/crick… @MCCOfficial - come see SCX's moving fabric roofs at Wimbledon! scx.co.uk/case-studies/w… #ashes #cricket #engvsaus

Is it OK for bad weather to decide major sporting events like the Ashes?

The BBC has been talking lots about the rain and the Ashes... let's raise a roof! @BBCSport @gregjames @TomMallows_ @bbctms

Is it fair that major sporting events like the Ashes 2023 can be decided by the weather? Our engineers created a concept for a flexible cricket cover to prevent rain stopping play. What do you think? @MCCOfficial @SkySports @lv @adidas @NatWest_Cricket @Investec #ashes #Cricket

The Championships at Wimbledon commence in less than a week. We’re excited to follow the action on court…. And above it! SCX’s two concertina roofs over Centre and No.1 courts are ready to ensure that rain doesn’t stop play. Find out more: scx.co.uk/case-studies/w… #wimbledonroof

SCX was commissioned to design, #engineer, build and install four Cylinder Wash Stations for a UK nuclear-licensed site. Our #hydraulic handling solution helps to wash depleted materials out of heavy and unwieldy cylinders, ready for re-use: scx.co.uk/case-studies/N…

It’s one year since the opening of the #elizabethline, transforming public transport across London. We engineered the robotic handling rigs that travelled along the rail network to help streamline the installation of the iconic sliding screen doors: vimeo.com/scx/crossraill…

SCX designed, built, and installed ten bespoke cranes for the @RoyalNavy Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. These deliver safe lifting in challenging maritime environments, remaining reliable and available at sea. Find out More: scx.co.uk/case-studies/R…

Underdeck gantry access systems from SCX enable personnel to safely inspect and maintain busy bridges and other critical structures. Discover how at our Website: scx.co.uk/solutions/unde… #maintenance #ukmfg #handling #safety

SCX has delivered seven bespoke load-compensating grabs that handle low-level waste at a UK nuclear licensed site. The grabs replace existing ones that were unable to adapt to off-centre, unevenly distributed loads. Find out more: scx.co.uk/case-studies/l… #ukmfg #handling #safety

SCX has taken a major step to bringing a revolutionary new #rail passenger lift to market, with final testing underway! The lift provides an obstacle-free, #accessible route between platforms for everyone, including disabled users & people with prams: scx.co.uk/news/Award-win…

What a fantastic result at The Made in Yorkshire Awards! 🏆 SCX won the Manufacturing Innovation Award for our revolutionary AVA lift. Congratulations to everyone who made this possible! #madeinyorks #innovation #manufacturing

SCX delivered an overhead crane for @magnoxsites via @NSGLimited, which runs along both the facility walls and an open gantry. This performs a range of tasks key to Magnox’s #decommissioning efforts. Read our new case study to find out more: scx.co.uk/case-studies/M… #decommsupply

We’re delighted to announce that Matthew Harvey has joined SCX as our new Chief Growth Officer. Matthew brings a wealth of experience in global sales and business development to the organisation having operated extensively overseas and within the UK. #newhire #growth #CGO

@AMRCtraining's Feb #Apprenticeships Job Fair is this Thursday 9th. We’re excited to have a stand there showcasing opportunities at SCX, such as an Electrical Maintenance Engineer Apprentice to join our team in #Sheffield: amrctraining.co.uk/apprenticeship… #NAW2023 #SkillsForLife

SCX helped Marylebone Cricket Club to enhance the experience for players by designing & installing a sight screen at Lord's. Comprising of multiple coloured screens, these are switched according to the ball’s colour, helping the batter to better track it. scx.co.uk/case-studies/l…

SCX engineered this decorative façade for a prominent London development. The 800kg steel doors can be operated with hand power alone. When fully open, the intricate artwork - by London artist Chloe Steele - becomes a key design feature of the building: vimeo.com/788618349
