Securing High-Quality Bicycle Storage Solutions for Wates Construction

At The Bike Storage Company, we specialise in delivering custom, secure, and visually appealing cycle storage solutions for businesses and organisations across various sectors. Our longstanding collaboration with Wates, a major player in construction and development, is a testament to our capability to design and install high-security bike shelters that meet the specific needs of our clients. For this project, we provided Wates with bespoke cycle shelters at The Everglades Development in Hounslow, offering enhanced security and adding a touch of natural beauty through sedum roofing.

The Challenge

Wates required a robust bicycle storage solution for two separate areas on their site. The brief demanded:

• High security with tamper-proof and durable materials
• Aesthetic features that aligned with the overall design of the space
• Green roofing options to contribute to sustainability goals
• Flexible internal layouts to accommodate various bike rack systems, including Two Tier Racks and Sheffield Stands

Our customisable solution meets your immediate needs and ensures long-term functionality and visual appeal. This gives you confidence that your investment is secure and tailored to your requirements.

The Solution: Eastbrook Cycle Shelter 

Our proposal includes a custom version of the Eastbrook Cycle Shelter, a flagship product known for its security and versatile design. This cycle shelter offers a unique blend of functionality, durability, and aesthetics, meeting and exceeding Wates’ high standards.

Key Features

1. Durable Materials: 

• Constructed from a heavy-duty 80mm box section frame and 358 high-security mesh, it offers excellent resistance to tampering and vandalism.
• All frameworks were hot-dipped galvanised and powder-coated RAL 8025 to meet BS EN ISO 1461:2009 standards for longevity.

2. Flexible Customisation

• Option to use alternative mesh types and internal mesh for increased security.
• Lock options, including advanced access control, such as swipe card units.

3. Green Roof Option 

• To enhance the shelter’s environmental footprint, we incorporated a Sedum Green Roof. This roofing solution provides ecological benefits, such as reducing the urban heat island effect, supporting urban biodiversity, and adding visual appeal to the urban environment.

4. BREEAM Compliance

• The project focused on sustainability; the shelter and bike racks were BREEAM compliant. This helps clients like Wates meet sustainability targets, further contributing to their green building certifications.

5. High-Security Access

• The shelters were equipped with IP650-rated LED lighting and PIR motion sensors for energy-efficient security at night.

The Installation

Given this project’s unique demands, our team provided professional installation services tailored to the site’s condition. Both shelters were installed seamlessly on a reinforced concrete slab, ensuring stability. The installation process was carried out efficiently, adhering to Wates’ strict timelines, and the client was involved throughout to ensure all expectations were met.

Results

Wates were delighted with the outcome. Our Eastbrook Cycle Shelter not only enhanced security and accessibility for cyclists but also contributed positively to the site’s environmental land aesthetic goals. The Two Tier Racks maximised storage capacity, while the Sedum Green Roof introduced a natural, eco-friendly to the otherwise urban setting.

The Eastbrook Cycle Shelter’s high-security features and sustainable design made it the perfect solution for the Wates project. With its 10-year warranty and Made in Britain quality guarantee, Wates can rest assured that the shelter will serve their needs for years.
