Case Studies
These are the new attractive runs of cycle parking infrastructure Falco manufactured, supplied and installed for Southend University and Basildon University NHS Hospitals in Essex this month. Managed by Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, the new facilities provide secure cycle parking for up to 48 bikes each and provide staff, patients and visitors with everything they might need in order to visit the hospital by bike.
Falco installed 48 spaces of the ingenious cycle rack combined with 10m of the FalcoRail cycle canopy at each hospital, both powder coated in a cordial anthracite grey. Falco also removed and disposed of the previous tired cycle parking equipment as per the clients request.
Basildon’s new cycle parking facility is located to the left of the main entrance, adjacent to the multi storey car park and Southend’s new facility is located opposite car park E, next to the main entrance.
In addition to this scheme shown here at Basildon University Hospital, Falco also manufactured, supplied and installed the same facility for sister hospital Southend University NHS Hospital.
The scheme here at Basildon University Hospital makes use of the tried and tested FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier cycle parking system and the Falco Rail cycle canopy, which when combined together, create the ultimate cycle park - providing cyclists to the hospital with high levels of cycle security, all in a spacious contemporary canopy design.
Basildon and Sothend University Hospital are only two of many NHS hospitals Falco provided cycle parking infrastructure to this year. Other recent examples include a bespoke cycle hub for Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee, a trio of cycle hubs for NHS Grampian hospitals in Aberdeen, FalcoCrea cycle lockers for NHS Forth Valley in Falkirk, two cycle stores for NHS Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, cycle racks for Royal Berkshire NHS hospital in Reading and a flagship FalcoHub for Newham University Hospital in London.
The FalcoLevel-Eco is a high density and budget friendly two-tier cycle parking system which accommodates twice the number of bicycles compared to any other traditional cycle rack or stand. The FalcoLevel two-tier series is the UK’s best-selling high density cycle rack and is used at the hundreds of railway stations and cycle hubs across the UK.
