Cardiff Canal Quarter’s £8.5M regeneration transformed a buried 19th-century dock feeder canal into a vibrant public space, blending industrial heritage with modern urban design. Delta Balustrades were awarded the balustrades package on the project and delivered Glass Balustrades with access gates, and complementary free-standing handrails, ensuring safety across the canal’s pedestrian zones, performance areas, and cycling routes, complimented by un-obstructed views of the water system below.
Delta’s proprietary ORBIS balustrade systems were strategically deployed across key areas of the centre to maximise natural light and maintain a safe environment:
Delta Balustrades combines precision engineering with sustainable design to deliver solutions that respect heritage and meet modern demands. The Cardiff Canal Quarter project exemplifies how stainless steel and glass systems can seamlessly integrate historic preservation with contemporary safety standards, creating enduring public spaces built for long-term environmental and community benefit.
