Ecogenik's Ultraspan Extra system is providing a long term secure perimeter hoarding around the site of The Shard building in London Bridge Quarter SE1 in London.

This photograph taken in May 2009, shows how The Shard, a spectacular glass tower, will dominate the London skyline when it is completed.

The main photograph has Tower Bridge in the foreground with an image of The Shard top left, towering above London Bridge mainline station. Other London landmarks clearly visible include the Tower of London (bottom right).

Thanks to the smooth finish of the panels, spectacular graphics like those in the photograph can be applied easily and present a highly professional customer-facing facade.

Managing Director, Tony Doherty said "The graphics used at The Shard site show the true potential of our systems. I think more developers will follow suit and use the prime positions of their hoardings to sell their vision and boost public awareness of their brand."

The building is scheduled to be completed in 4 years' time.
