BoxBolts used on splice connection on train platform structure

Stainless Steel BoxBolts were used to to create a splice detail (tube within tube) to create the neat looking steel structure that was then glazed to create a sheltered area for passengers in transit.  The BoxBolt detail allowed for the neat tubular joint to be made but without the need for expensive labour or equipment on site.  All the holes in the external and internal tubes were pre-drilled off-site so that once the steel was positioned it was a case of inserting the BoxBolts through the two holes and tightening them to the recommended torques.
