Key works
Project Overview
The client required the manufacture and supply of:
- Galvanised root-fixed Sheffield cycle stands
- 316 grade stainless steel straight bollards
- Powder-coated black cranked bollards with yellow banding
- 2000mm sight gap pedestrian guardrail panels
- A special 1000mm x 1000mm corner guardrail panel
The primary objectives were to improve pedestrian safety, protect storefront areas, provide secure cycle parking, and clearly define traffic routes within the shared site.
Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and supplied galvanised root-fixed Sheffield cycle stands, designed to provide secure and long-lasting bicycle parking.
Key Features:
- Hot dip galvanised finish for corrosion resistance
- Root-fixed installation for maximum stability
- Durable steel construction suitable for high-traffic retail sites
- Sheffield stands remain one of the most trusted and secure forms of cycle parking in the UK. Their simple, functional design allows cyclists to secure both frame and wheel using a D-lock, making them ideal for busy hospitality and retail locations.
The galvanised finish ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance, even in exposed external environments.
316 Grade Stainless Steel Bollards for perimeter protection and pedestrian safety,
Speedy Street Solutions supplied:
- Stainless Steel Bollards
- 89mm diameter
- 1300mm overall length
- Root fixed installation
- Manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel
Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, making it ideal for exposed, high-traffic commercial environments.
These bollards were strategically positioned to:
- Protect building frontage
- Prevent vehicle encroachment
- Define pedestrian walkways
- Enhance overall site safety
The clean stainless steel finish complements modern retail architecture while delivering essential impact resistance.
In addition to stainless steel protection, Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and supplied:
- Cranked Bollards – Powder Coated Black
- 101mm diameter
- 1500mm overall length
- Root fixed installation
- Powder coated black finish
- 25mm yellow reflective band at top
The cranked design allows for angled protection in areas where vehicles may attempt to mount kerbs or approach pedestrian zones. The larger 101mm diameter provides increased strength and visibility.
The black powder-coated finish offers a bold, modern aesthetic, while the 25mm yellow band improves visibility in low-light conditions, increasing safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
To safely manage foot traffic across the shared retail site, Speedy Street Solutions supplied:
- 2000mm Sight Gap Pedestrian Guardrail Panels
- 2000mm panel length
- Sight gap design for improved visibility
- Root fixed for permanent installation
- In addition, a special corner panel measuring 1000mm x 1000mm was manufactured to accommodate specific layout requirements around pedestrian crossing points and walkway junctions.
Sight gap guardrails provide several benefits:
- Maintain visibility between pedestrians and drivers
- Clearly define safe crossing routes
- Reduce the risk of accidents
- Organise foot traffic flow across busy forecourts
- Manufacturing & Quality Control
