Circonomy Cycle Shelter - Severn Beach, Avonmouth

Cycle storage for new industrial units and office space

As part of a new development near Bristol, which included 4 new industrial units set for various uses, IAE Shelter Division supplied a series of Circonomy Cycle Shelters to provide dry and secure cycle storage, with the aim of encouraging more cycle use on the daily commute.

The industrial units varied in size and included manufacturing, warehousing, and office space.

As the units varied in size, each unit required a different number of cycle spaces. 

This is both for practical purposes, and to ensure the development meets BREEAM guidelines, which require a certain amount of dry, secure cycle storage spaces, depending on the number of people occupying the building, and the size of the building.

Extendable Modular Design

The Circonomy Cycle Shelters modular design meant it was ideal to meet these requirements. An individual Circonomy Cycle shelter fits 5 cycle hoops and is suitable to securely store 10 bicycles. Extensions can be added to the end of the shelter to increase capacity as needed. Individual shelter units, cycle hoops and extensions are all available from stock at IAE Shelters.

The modular design meant the same style of shelter could be used across all the different sized units on the development to provide a consistent look across the site.

Low Impact Styling

BREEAM guidelines also state that the cycle storage has to be in a prominent, easy to access location to encourage cycle use, and not hidden around the back of the unit to hide it from site.

The low impact styling of the Cicrconomy Cycle Shelter provides an unobtrusive look and means the shelter can be easily dropped into a site layout without concerns about it affecting the overall look of the project.

To finish the design, the galvanised frames were powder coated anthracite grey to give a contemporary look.
