Case Studies
When Falco was contacted by Whitman Laboratories early in 2007 to supply a smoking shelter for the UK headquarters of the prestigious Estee Lauder group we assumed it would be a simple standard canopy hidden round the back of the building. It was not until our Technical Sales Manager Dave Inman visited site was it realised that this was to be installed next to the main entrance and had to cover an existing landscaped hexagonal seating area After several meetings on site it was decided that the best way to provide a suitable canopy for such a high profile position in a blue chip company was to use Falco’s Project W. We put together a proposal, which following granting of planning permission by the local council was installed in June and completed in time to meet the implementation of the new smoking regulations which came into force on the 1st July 2007.
FalcoLites are smoking shelters at regional offices at Orange Mobiles including ‘Swing’ benches and ashtrays
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 has been a family company with its own production site for over 70 years. Sustainability was in our DNA from the very beginning and this is reflected within our complete range of modular cycle parking and shelter products, all designed with full circularity in mind.
All products ranges are contemporary and durable, typical of a Falco product. Falco has been at the forefront of the cycle parking and street furniture market and has built up a renowned reputation for manufacturing products that exceed in both design and durability.
Falco’s operations have supported the Circular Economy for many years, simply manufacturing products with environmentally friendly products, that can last for decades and at the end of the product life can be 100% recycled and manufactured back into a brand new product.
