Lindapter Hollo-Bolts have been used to secure structural hollow sections to circular hollow sections to form five 27m-tall bowstring trusses at the Central Square project in Leeds. The trusses create a large winter garden that will accommodate restaurants and other leisure facilities.  Countersunk M16 Hollo-Bolts were chosen to secure the beams and splice connections because of their independent product approvals, high clamping force and discrete architectural finish.
