Challenge

Bailey Streetscene was approached to tender for the external furniture and cycle shelters on the Tameside Phase 2 Building Schools for the Future (BSF) schemes.

Carillion appointed sub-contractors to some of the schemes, but also commissioned the work direct on others. Bailey StreetScene was not the specified supplier on these projects, but via product design and modification, layout and foundation detail assistance, was able to offer suitable acceptable alternatives.

The architects, main and sub-contractor were all engaged in the process from concept stage to realisation and costing conclusions.

Products supplied

The projects were supplied with bollards, tree grilles, seating, canopies, cycle shelters, litter bins, poster cases, bespoke cast iron paving slabs and column protectors on time and to budget.

Bailey Streetscene also installed and supervised the shelter and canopy installations within the site regulations and construction standards set out by Carillion. All method statements, risk and COSH assessments where provided in line with current regulations.

On completion of the works operation and maintenance manuals were produced in line with supply and installed products.

Testimonial

"Just a short note to say thank you. We are pleased with the plates and I hope the Academy pupils will find them a useful learning tool in developing their numeracy ability. The production process was really interesting and we look forward to using what we have all learnt on other schemes. Bailey were flexible and willing to adapt as the design developed."
