OVERVIEW
Client: Higgins Construction
Location: Grange Farm, Harrow
Products Installed: Bespoke Amazon Eco Cycle Lockers & Bin Stores
Project Overview
Higgins Construction partnered with our company to deliver a bespoke bike and bin storage solution at Grange Farm, a residential development in Harrow, London. As part of their commitment to enhancing the environment and community infrastructure, Higgins required a durable, eco-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing storage solution for residents. Our team designed, manufactured, and installed custom Amazon Eco Cycle Lockers and Bin Stores, providing functional and secure spaces for bikes and waste storage.
The Challenge
The project presented several key challenges:
1. Space Management: The site required the installation of multiple storage units within a limited area while maintaining accessibility and visual appeal.
2. Security and Durability: The solution needed to ensure the security of bicycles and bin stores while withstanding the expense of outdoor elements.
3. Aesthetics: As part of a residential community, the storage solutions had to blend seamlessly into the environment with a focus on sustainable materials.
Our Solution
We proposed a bespoke solution for this project using our Amazon Eco Cycle Lockers and Amazon Eco Bin Stores. These units were tailored to meet the project’s design, functional, and environmental requirements.
1. Amazon Eco Cycle Lockers
· Dimensions: 2,780mm W x 1,200mm H x 1,184mm D
· Construction using hot-dipped galvanised steel structure (BS EN ISO 1461:2009) for superior rust protection
· Clad in FSC-certified timber battens, ensuring an eco-friendly aesthetic that complements the surrounding environment
· Security Features: The building has front swing gates with hasp and staple locks, providing additional space for bicycle storage.
· Strengthened Metal Roof: Powder-coated for weather resistance and longevity.
2. Amazon Eco Bin Stores
· Dimensions: 2,270mm W x 1,155mm H x 1,014mm D
· Made with the same galvanised and timber cladding as the cycle lockers, ensuring design consistency across the development.
· Practical Access: A hinged roof at the rear provides easy access to bin stores, allowing residents and waste management teams to use the facility efficiently.
3. Additional Features:
· Ground Anchors: We installed 32 secure anchors for added stability and security.
· Mitred Steel Angle Roof Trims: These are finished to match the visual roofing, ensuring the installation remains cohesive and visually appealing.
Installation
The installation was performed with minimal disruption to the residents and construction team. Our process adhered to several site-specific requirements:
· Ground anchors were securely installed following a thorough site scan to avoid underground services.
· All materials were delivered in a single hit, reducing site congestion and allowing for a smooth workflow.
· Our team ensured easy access around the storage units for future maintenance, and waste was managed onsite using the client’s waste disposal systems.
Results
The completed installation provided Grange Farm residents with:
· Secure & Spacious Cycle Storage: 16 cycle lockers installed, allowing residents to store their bicycles safely.
· Easy-to-Use Bin Storage: Eight bin stores have hinged roofs for convenient waste disposal.
· Sustainable Design: FSC-Certified Timber Cladding gave the structures a natural, eco-friendly look, complementing the surrounding architecture.
This project is a testament to our ability to deliver custom storage solutions that blend functionality, security, and aesthetic appeal while meeting high sustainability standards.
