Case Studies

This series of FalcoSpan canopies were installed over Christmas at Glory Park in High Wycombe. The architect took our modular FalcoSpan design and added wooden cladding around the uprights to add a touch of class enabling the shelter to blend perfectly with the building. Flexible canopies The FalcoSpan series of canopies offer great flexibility, useful for smoking shelters, cycle shelters, walkways and general shelters. An exceptionally attractive and open shelter, the FalcoSpan can cover every option. Keeping natural The blending of the FalcoSpan canopies with the building was important to upholding the idea of a natural environment as BAM stated that their aim was for the Park’s architecture to reflect and grow naturally out of the site’s features. Because of Glory Park’s popularity and industrious nature, their demand for cycle parking was high which lead to their interest in the six bays of FalcoSpan canopies which Falco installed. State of the art Glory Park’s appeal comes from its pleasing combination of state of the art office space with a sympathetically landscaped and thoroughly natural environment. The result is a restful and dynamic workplace. The Park and its surrounding villages offer occupiers a rural setting with the world of commerce close to hand. BAM Construction - Glory Park.

When the London Borough of Kingston wanted to maximise the number of cycles they could store at their main office, the Guildhall Triangle Complex, Falco were able to help design the cycle store so that they could house as many cycles as possible in the space available. Working closely with the architects at DFT and the staff at H&V Building Services Falco were able to provide optimised layouts of the storage area. Shelter with great features The FalcoLite cycle shelter with Sheffield cycle stands is a robust and hi-spec shelter offering a number of great features including robust polycarbonate roof sheets and integral gutters to ensure the cycles and cyclists are kept visible and dry. The double sided ‘gullwing’ design offers maximum storage in the minimum of space. All the steel work is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 for a long life.

This is Glyn Technology School in Epsom where the staff already had cycle parking racks but they were out in the open and needed a cost effective Falco canopy structure to keep the cycles dry. Free site visit Following a free site visit, from Steve Ford, Falco’s South Eastern Manager, we were able to quickly provide some options for covered shelters at competitive prices. A further site visit enabled us to measure the site for optimum sizes and prepare installation information. Shelter installation The shelters were installed last month by one of Falco’s own cycle parking installation teams. By employing our own shelter installation engineers, Falco can control costs and quality, plus we can draw on many years of experience when going to site. The installation teams are positive and proactive and work closely with clients to provide and optimum shelter solution. Questions?

The Council of Milton Keynes (a city of cyclists) wanted a modern bicycle shelter to cover there many bicycles near their Railway station. The result you can see in the picture. Under the shelter we have put our Triangle-30 Sheffield stands.
