Project Overview
The client required the manufacture and supply of:
- 304 grade stainless steel straight bollards – semi domed top
- 304 grade stainless steel cranked bollards – semi domed top with reflective tape band
- Stainless steel door stops hoops – root fixed
- Stainless steel cycle hoops – root fixed
The solution needed to provide effective perimeter protection, protect entrance areas, and support sustainable travel while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic aligned with the Starbucks brand.
Stainless Steel Straight Bollards – Semi Domed
Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and supplied:
304 Grade Stainless Steel Bollards
- 89mm diameter
- 1300mm overall height
- Semi-domed top design
- Root fixed installation
These bollards were strategically positioned to protect storefront glazing and pedestrian routes from accidental vehicle impact. The semi-domed top provides a smooth, contemporary finish while maintaining structural strength.
Manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel, the bollards offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for long-term external installation in exposed urban environments such as Salford Quays.
Stainless Steel Cranked Bollards – Semi Domed with Reflective Band
In addition to straight bollards, Speedy Street Solutions supplied:
304 Grade Stainless Steel Cranked Bollards
- 89mm diameter
- 1300mm overall height
- Semi-domed top
- Root fixed installation
- Reflective tape band for enhanced visibility
Cranked bollards are particularly effective where angled protection is required or where vehicle approach points present increased risk. The reflective band improves visibility in low-light conditions, increasing safety for pedestrians and drivers alike.
This combination of structural protection and visual detailing ensures a safe and professional finish across the development.
Stainless Steel Door Stop Hoops – Root Fixed
To protect entrance doors and prevent damage from overextension, Speedy Street Solutions supplied:
Stainless Steel Door Stop Hoops
- Manufactured from stainless steel
- Root fixed for permanent installation
- Designed to control door movement
- Durable construction for commercial use
Door stop hoops provide practical protection for high-traffic entrances while maintaining consistency with surrounding stainless steel street furniture.
Stainless Steel Cycle Hoops – Root Fixed
To encourage cycling and provide secure bicycle parking, the project included:
Stainless Steel Cycle Hoops
- Root fixed installation
- Durable stainless steel construction
- Suitable for commercial hospitality environments
Cycle hoops remain one of the most secure and widely specified forms of cycle parking in the UK. Their robust design allows cyclists to secure both frame and wheel, making them ideal for busy urban locations like Salford Quays.
Root Fixed Installation – Maximum Stability
All bollards and hoops were manufactured for root-fixed installation, meaning they are set directly into concrete foundations.
This method ensures:
- Superior impact resistance
- Long-term structural stability
- Reduced risk of movement or vandalism
- Reliable performance in high-traffic environments
For hospitality sites in busy urban areas, root fixing provides the highest level of durability and security.
