In the heart of Ely stands the majestic Ely Cathedral, a marvel of medieval craftsmanship and engineering prowess. The Octagon Tower, rising 142 feet into the sky, has captivated visitors for centuries. To the centre, the tower also features John of Burwell's carved Christ in Majesty, drawing pilgrims and tourists alike to this historic site.

However, with such popularity comes the need to ensure safety and accessibility for those who venture up its heights. The challenge lay in providing a secure walkway around the tower's perimeter, offering visitors a level, anti-slip surface to enjoy the breath-taking views from the Cathedral and the picturesque Cambridgeshire countryside.

To meet this challenge, the installation of the Ascent™ Aluminium Access Walkway proved to be the ideal solution. Equipped with guardrails for added safety, this walkway provides stability and ease of access while preserving the integrity of the tower's historic structure. Crafted from 6082-T6 structural grade aluminium, it not only meets rigorous safety standards but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, being 100% recyclable for the benefit of future generations.

With the Ascent™ Walkway in place, visitors can now experience the Octagon Tower in all its glory, knowing they can explore its heights with confidence and security, whilst preserving its heritage for generations to come.
