Paddington Station - roof nodes
Paddington Station was one of the great rail portals into London, receiving the trains that ran on Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Western Railway (GWR).
Goodwin were selected to provide the castings for the Masterplan extension.
Due to the scale of the new roof, the use of stainless steel castings to articulate key structural junctions was an economic and visually attractive possibility, and a series of stainless steel nodes for the roof were developed and produced by Goodwin.

Paddington Station - glazing spiders
A combination of stainless steel and glass was a natural choice for the station's extension.
With Goodwin high strength, cast stainless steel spiders, the new glass and steel enclosure at Paddington is a modern update to the high-tech spirit of the station's original Victorian engineers.
