Case Studies

Falco has recently designed, manufactured and supplied a stylish double-sided Triangle cycle shelter for the new Cobridge Community Health Centre in Stoke-on-Trent. As part of the new, three floor £14m state-of-the-art development, the Triangle cycle shelter was supplied on behalf of Wates Construction and adds the finishing design touches to the hospital entrance. The Triangle double-sided cycle shelter was chosen for its attractive design characteristics and great value for money in terms of secure cycle parking. The image attached shows the attractive cycle shelter addition, equipped with eight co-ordinated, space saving Triangle-30 ‘hi-lo’ cycle stands taking the available spaces up to 16 for just a 4m canopy! Triangle Cycle Shelters The double-sided variation of the popular Triangle range of cycle shelters offers a great design statement with the symmetry of the shelter arms creating a light and open arrangement. By placing two shelters facing each other a covered walkway or cycle compound can be easily created. Utilising the 2.25m span for each arm, a walkway 4m wide is possible – ideal for a public thoroughfare. Like all Falco shelters, the modular nature of the Triangle cycle shelter enables designers and specifiers to create a walkway system of any dimensions. Ideal for bus shelters, a public market, cycle parking or simple weather cover.

Staffordshire County Council has chosen Falco to provide cycle shelters at it’s brand new state of the art Council offices at Tipping Street in Stafford. Following a lengthy design period, the FalcoGamma shelter was chosen for it’s excellent design characteristics and good value for money in terms of covered cycle parking. Falco designed the 132 space cycle park free of charge on behalf of the client and our own teams of highly qualified installation engineers installed the series of canopies to the agreed specifications. The shelters were powder-coated in stylish RAL colour - 9017 Traffic Black, creating a real design statement! FalcoGamma Shelter A design characteristic for this model is the central column that evolves into two upward facing branches. The name Gamma was chosen because, when viewed from the side, the shape of the structure looks like the Greek letter gamma and underlines the design statement that we wanted to make with this new cycle shelter. The new FalcoGamma is available in both double sided and single sided versions. The cycle shelter, with bowed styling, is clad with 4mm thick, robust clear polycarbonate roof sheets. The height of the FalcoGamma is 2.10m, the depth for the single sided shelter is 1.91m and the depth for a double sided shelter is 3.70m, the free height under the gutter is 1.53m and length is 4.00m centre to centre between the stanchions.
