Start with the news release Catnic timber frame steel lintels in Exeter from Catnic, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Catnic lintels were specified for Cowley Bridge Road, a 219-bedroom student accommodation building in Exeter, because of their durability and longevity.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Maccaferri reinforced soil solution from Maccaferri: "Maccaferri complex reinforced soil structure spans drainage culvert as part of the Inverness Parks Farm distributor road project.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from Maccaferri - take a look at Maccaferri rockfall catch fences which says: "Maccaferri rockfall protection barriers installed to protect a vulnerable section of the main Londonderry to Coleraine coastal road in Northern Ireland.".
