Case Studies

Ecclesbourne School are the best performing state school in the Derbyshire league tables and they contacted Falco after being named as the preferred supplier on the Derbyshire County Council’s list of contractors. They viewed our products on the Falco Building Schools for the Future website and enquired about a secure cycle store along with 6 benches for the students’ garden area. The school was looking for a robust yet contemporary design requiring the minimum of maintenance and found exactly what they were looking for in the FalcoQuarter cycle store and the Camilla range of all steel benches. The Falco benches were hot dip galvanised and then powder coated in the school colours, as standard. Due to the popularity with the students, they have recently added a further 16 benches to the garden area and complimented them by adding 3 of our Eliseo litter bins.

Falco has a long trading history with Higgins Construction and completed a number of high profile projects on their behalf. At this prestigious Granville Road site, Higgins used the FalcoLok store for its versatility and quality, and as Londoners are keen cyclists, wanted a robust and secure solution. The FalcoLok in its different sizes was an ideal solution for securely storing all of the residents cycles in the various locations on the site. The residents also wanted a store for their bins and so the FalcoLok series was a perfect choice because of its multi-purpose functions. Both bicycles and bins were safely locked out of site which created a tidy and secure area Falco also supplied all of the brick built garden store flat steel roofs, so as to be in keeping with the cycle stores nearby. Each roof had to be made to measure as many of the garden stores were bespoke to each individual property.

The new FalcoSafe cycle lockers at Milton Keynes Railway Station have proven to be a great success. Falco has had a close working with Milton Keynes Council for many years and the partnership has strengthened following the positive response from the users of the FalcoSafe cycle lockers. Installation cycle lockers Two years ago Falco installed 80 of FalcoSafe Round cycle lockers after high demand from regular commuters for a secure area to store bicycles. These cycle lockers proved to be a huge success after no bicycles were stolen or vandalised in these 2 years and word began to get around. More demand arose for the cycle lockers which prompted Milton Keynes Council to commission 70 more of the lockers which Falco installed last month. Personal cycle locker These cycle lockers were personalised with the ‘Cycle MK’ Milton Keynes logo and the cycle lockers are leased out to the public for a small annual fee. The demand for these lockers is so high that Milton Keynes still has a rented waiting list for more of the personalised cycle lockers to be installed at the station. More about the FalcoSafe cycle locker The FalcoSafe cycle Locker is a robust and secure cycle storage unit which protects bicycles and mopeds from the destructive effects of vandals and weather conditions. The steelwork is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 to provide long lasting protection and Milton Keynes decided to have the doors powder coated in one of our many RAL colours. Any number of cycle lockers can be linked together and in addition, the lockers can also be placed back to back. This great flexibility allows you to choose your own combinations and lengths. The standard cycle locker is suitable for securing with a user’s padlock and with coin return.

This Christmassy snowy scene features one of Falco’s most popular products, the FalcoTel secure store. After popular demand from local residents for a secure cycle store, their request was answered by the successful addition of the FalcoTel cycle store to their area. Cycle store and more This Falco shelter has proved a triumph to the residents of Merton Road as more and more people in the neighbourhood are keen to take advantage of the FalcoTel cycle store. It is not only being used as a bicycle store but also as a secure store for various equipment for those without the free space. Popular range of shelters The FalcoTel range is a popular modular shelter capable of meeting most applications. There are a wide number of configurations of the FalcoTel family from a simple open canopy or double sided unit to a secure store or a wall mounted canopy. This particular shelter is known as the FalcoTel-K store which is the securest of all stores in the FalcoTel range. The FalcoTel-K is slightly deeper than the standard range and is ideal as a cycle store enabling cyclists to manoeuvre their bikes in and out safely. The FalcoTel-K shelter also comes complete with a Euro profile cylinder lock to create the secure store. Sandwood Design & Build – Merton Road, London.

The heavy snow in Wales didn’t prevent the installation of this FalcoBreeze canopy with FalcoToasters for cycle parking. This installation was involved in Phase II of the on-going project at Ebbw Vale Innovation Centre. New canopy The FalcoBreeze canopy is a fairly new product to Falco offering a great alternative where floor space is limited. The FalcoBreeze canopy offers a great overhead canopy space, helping to keep bicycles dry in the typical British weather, whilst occupying a minimum of floor space with this model canopy. Length of canopy The length of the FalcoBreeze ranges from a 2,000mm long canopy to a much greater span of 5,000mm. Add-on sections are also available for extra length and coverage. The South Wales Innovation Centre was developed to provide a state of the art working environment to support the needs of new and developing businesses and play an important part in the area’s regeneration. This facility offers a choice of office and workshop accommodation suitable for a wide range of business activities so the new FalcoBreeze canopy has proved a useful and valuable addition for all employees.
