Case Studies

Falco were commissioned by Lancaster City Council to provide additional secure cycle parking for their Council Offices in the city centre. The cycle store which was for staff parking provides storage for up to 30 cycles in an attractive hardwood clad FalcoLok shelter which blends perfectly into the mix of historic and contemporary background of the city’s architecture.

This secure and highly original mesh cycle store for Leeds Hospital in Leeds provides accommodation for up to 28 cycles using the Falco Sheffield stands. This FalcoTraz canopy measures 8.0m x 4.5m and is for hospital staff to use to secure their cycles and is hot dip galvanised for a long life. The shelter was installed by Falco’s own installation engineers on the roofed area of a building!

A new purpose for our cycle box, the Midi Bike Box, this school uses the box for storage of play equipment! The Navigation Primary School in Altrincham, Manchester completed their school travel plan in 2008. A need was highlighted to produce storage for equipment in the external play area. The solution was the Midi Bike Box that fitted perfectly in the allocated space, creating a totally lockable and fun piece of equipment. The Midi Bike Box is normally used to stall bikes in it, but for this school it was just what they needed for their play equipment.

Falco placed a bin store, benches and planters to make this square a nice place to sit and relax in Trinity Square, Nottingham. The bin store is a version of the FalcoRondo with a steel roof and wooden sidewalls. It shows the flexibility of the shelter FalcoRondo. The shelter can be placed with or without sidewalls. Other roof coverings such as polycarbonate, or walls made of safety glass, solid plastic sheets or lattice work are also available. The benches are from the FalcoSwing street furniture series. These benches look good anywhere and resist all weathers. The Swing benches are vandal resistant because there are not any visible nuts or bolts on the seat or back support. The modular construction of the FalcoSwing street furniture makes many arrangements possible. Here you’ll find the bench with back support but they are also available without a back support and in a square or hexagonal arrangement. The Topazio planters are a traditionally dimensioned planter design for public and private spaces. The inside is water-resistant and eye bolts are included to ease movement. This square is complete with the bin store, benches and planters from Falco. Interested? Please contact us for advice about your project requirements.
