CANNON HILL PARK, BIRMINGHAM - SOUSSE AND BARDO MEMORIAL

The Sousse and Bardo Memorial is dedicated to the 31 British Nationals murdered in the 2015 terrorist attacks in Tunisia and all those directly affected by the atrocity. A sculpture, created from 31 individual stainless steel tubes and entitled ‘Infinite Wave’, is at the memorial’s centre and the surrounding stone amphitheatre creates a beautiful serene and contemplative space where the victims’ loved ones and friends can spend time. The contractor worked closely with the steel fabricators and other suppliers, managing the entire project and setting out and installing the memorial’s foundations and surrounding granite blockwork with care and precision.
