Case Studies

Falco has recently supplied and installed a series of the high density FalcoLevel two-tier cycle parking systems for Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport! The 218 cycle space facility has been located at each end of the terminal and provides travellers with a dedicated and secure area to park their bicycle. Due to busy operating hours at Heathrow, installation could only take place after 23:00 at night. Therefore Falco's team of installation engineers took up the night time challenge and successfully worked within the parameters of the installation time table. The image attached shows the recently installed two-tier cycle parking system powder-coated in a special Heathrow blue! FalcoLevel and FalcoLevel-Pro The FalcoLevel and FalcoLevel-Pro are a high density cycle parking rack designedto house twice as many bicycles as any traditional cycle rack. Designed for areaswith restricted space, the FalcoLevel two tier cycle stand offers the ideal cycle parking solution for stations, schools, cycle hubs and shopping centres. Both the Falco Level and FalcoLevel-Pro are the same size, use the same operations and accommodate all types of bicycles. The only difference between the two is that the FalcoLevel-Pro is equipped with a gas strut to ease the process of lifting the upper cycle storage tier. Benefits There are numerous benefits of the FalcoLevel compared to a traditional cycle rack, the key one being that the FalcoLevel can house twice as many bikes in the same area as any other cycle rack, the same capacity in half the square metres. All bikes can be securely locked to the FalcoLevel to maximise security and the FalcoLevel is very good value for money, ensuring a cost effective cycle parking station to meet all budgets. Additional benefits of the FalcoLevel • Easy to pull out gutters with maintenance free runners.• Upper tier universal gutter means no need for latches or moving parts.• Each bike is held stable and secure in upper and lower parking tier.• Additional locking points for wheel and frame.• All bicycle types accommodated, from smaller tyres to chunky MB tyres.• Modular design and infinitely expandable, can be added to in the future.• Handles feature durable reflective tape.• Space savings with centre to centre distances of up to 375mm.• Single and double sided versions.• Additional support for lifting bikes on the higher tier available from the FalcoLevel-Pro• A maintenance-free cycle rack, hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461.• Optional powder coating in 192 RAL colours.• A cost effective and highly durable cycle parking system to meet all applications. Dimensions The single sided unit has a depth of 1900mm parked position and 2100mm with the upper tray fully extended. The preferred ceiling height is 2650mm for maximum capacity, however this can be lower if required depending on the cycle height available. The double-sided version has a depth of 3000mm parked position and 3400mm with both upper trays fully extended. The ceiling height requirement is the same as the single-sided version.

A new ‘artistic' cycle locker project recently took place at the De Schelf primary school in Gravendeel, in the Netherlands. Valtos Architects required an innovative and eye-catching secure store to encourage the use of cycling amongst its student base. Falco responded to this request by taking the traditional FalcoLok design a step further and used trespa wall panels to create a state-of-the-art cycle storage facility. The image attached shows the completed cycle store installation, using a combination of bold colours with the sleek FalcoLok design!   FalcoLok Store Range The FalcoLok is a very versatile range of stores providing a lockable storage facility.

Following Falco's innovative cycle locker project at the Old Tobacco factory in Laren, Holland last year, the requirement for shelters and stores with a sedum roof has significantly increased as architects and specifiers look for shelters in line with their environmental plan. Our latest project takes place at the Kindcampus Grootstal primary school in Nijmegen, Holland, using the popular FalcoLok store with steel cladding. Falco manufactured and installed the robust locker with a sedum green roof to provide a lockable facility for pupils to store play equipment whilst keeping a natural and secluded appearance. The image attached shows the exquisite FalcoLok store on a crisp January morning! Not only does the robust store provide a secure area to store equipment, but the truly remarkable aspect of the shelter lies within the green roof that has been customised to accommodate a roof lining of sedum. The sedum roof is an eye-catching aspect within the school and creates a relaxed and natural atmosphere as well as being an environmentally friendly feature. Over the last 50 years, Falco have gained extensive experience in working at project level in collaboration with architects, quantity surveyors and estimators to design project specific shelter and canopy products.
