Case Studies

The disabled parking bay cover at Ealing Council HQ. At first Galliford Try asked us to quote for a cycle / bin store specified by thier architect. At the same time we sent a brochure and they then liked the look of the Falcozan, so we did a revised quote for 24m long secure store in mesh and 16m open bin store, which they eventually ordered.This job evolved from the standard 29.5 but during its construction in Holland the customer changed the front legs to 10mm wall thickness to cope with a car impacting at 16km p h. Oak shrouds were requested for all of the roof supports, which we obtained locally.Also strip lighting was required under the canopy. As the road is lined with trees, we had to fit leaf guards to each roof section to prevent the gutters clogging which was most important as the modified front supports were capped off and didnt drain away

This picture was taken for the University of Cambridge. They were looking for toasters with 1,000mm centres, as this is the standard measurements in the Cambridge area. We supplied 4 x 3 hoop toasters with a capacity of 24 cycles. Within minutes these racks were full

Falco have just completed a major new grandstand development for the new hockey facility at North East Wales Institute (NEWI) in Wrexham. The grandstand provides seating for 200 spectators, in a robust, tempered glass clad, steel structure. Based on the FalcoRondo canopy the grandstand has a distinctive clear barrel vaulted roof enabling the maximum use of natural light. The whole structure, which was powder coated in NEWI’s colours, was installed using Falco’s own contract management team and blends perfectly with the campus colour scheme. As well as the Rondo canopy, Falco manufactures a wide range of shelters, canopies and walkways for use in many applications such as; smoking shelters, cycle shelters and waiting shelters. Within the shelters Falco can fit a wide choice of benches or litter bins to suit every style. Falco’s latest product range is the ‘Science Park’ play equipment range - 51 hands on products suitable for any environment, providing great Educational play value, which is innovative, inventive, and interactive. All the details are available at www.falco.co.uk.

The customer required a shelter for prams and pushchairs with a locking rail at the back. The surface was block paving, so we fitted the Polycarbonate FalcoRoller shelter onto pre-cast concrete blocks and set these below ground level.

Gyle Shopping Centre in Edinburgh was recently enhanced with this addition of some FalcoHarmony covered cycle canopies. The client's brief was to retro fit shelters over existing stainless Sheffield cycle hoops and out of three different options they chose the stylish design led FalcoHarmony. Available in both single and double sided versions, the Harmony shelter roof has robust polycarbonate sheets, plus the steel structure is fully galvanised and in this case subsequently powder coated in the shopping centre's standard RAL colour.

To provide a bespoke solution at Kniveden Hall, the FalcoRondo canopy was modified to give additional height clearance. At this home for the aged there was a requirement to provide a canopy high enough to give coverage for ambulances reversing up to the entrance also in addition, the cantilevered construction meant that there were no supporting legs restricting the ambulances from manoeuvring - in all a stylish but functional solution
