Case Studies
This is the bespoke FalcoHub recently designed, manufactured, supplied and installed by Falco for The Royal Oldham Hospital, managed by Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
The new secure cycle hub addition has been fitted with the tried and tested FalcoLevel-Premium+ two-tier cycle rack, providing visitors to the hospital with secure cycle parking for up to 50 bikes, all within a spacious, purpose built shelter design.
In addition to the cycle racks, the new 11m x 4m cycle hub has also been clad with reinforced safety glass, fitted with 32 cycle helmet lockers, a secure automatic power door with fob access, Royal Oldham branding graphics and powder coating in a vibrant NHS blue!
The two-tier cycle racks are housed in a bespoke contemporary design of the classic Falco Cycle Hub shelter, which features clean lines through the glass cladding supported by stainless steel glass clamps. The whole shelter is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 and then polyester powder coated in RAL 5012 Light Blue. Rainwater is collected via innovative integral gutters as part of the roof system and a bespoke bund ensure that the cycle hub is weather proof!
The contemporary cycle store is manufactured from a combination of powder coated steel and laminated glass and designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding area. It was developed by Falco’s in house design team to ensure it met the client’s specification including structural calculations to meet the EN 1090 CPR requirements of UK law.
In addition to the Royal Oldham Hospital as shown here, Falco has also recently supplied cycle parking infrastructure for numerous other NHS hospitals including; Ninewells Hospital and Medical School in Dundee, a trio of cycle hubs for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, two cycle stores for NHS Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, a bespoke cycle hub for Newham University NHS Hospital, cycle racks for Royal Berkshire NHS Hospital in Reading, a bespoke cycle hub for Salford Royal NHS Hospital, cycle shelters for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and a cycle canopy for Heatherwood NHS Hospital in Ascot.
