Newham University NHS Hospital Receives Second Falco Cycle Hub

Newham University NHS Hospital has further cemented its commitment to sustainable transportation and staff wellbeing with the provision of its second Falco cycle hub – designed, manufactured, supplied and installed by Falco.

Commissioned by the hospital for patient and visitor use, the cycle hub is positioned in a prominent location next to the main entrance and puts cycling at the forefront of transport innovation at the hospital.

In a positive move towards greener transport and improving patient and staff wellbeing, the new cycle hub initiative is aligned with Newham University hospital's commitment to promoting sustainable and eco-friendly modes of transport among its staff, patients, and visitors. The secure cycle hub provides a safe and convenient space for cyclists to park their bikes, thereby encouraging more people to opt for cycling as a means of commuting to and from the hospital.

The 11m x 4m cycle hub, powder coated in an attractive NHS blue, is based on Falco’s best-selling FalcoLok design. The cycle hub has been fitted with an automatic closing door, 50 spaces of FalcoLevel-Eco two-tier cycle parking, twelve motorcycle anchors, three folding bike lockers, one Sheffield Stand for cargo and adaptive bikes, low power LED lighting, CCTV security, an RFID secure access system and finished off with some eye catching NHS branding graphics.

The contemporary cycle hub is manufactured from a combination of powder coated steel and laminated glass and designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding area. The FalcoHub was developed by Falco’s in house design team to ensure it met the client’s specification including structural calculations so that the whole design meets the UK/European CPR regulations EN1090 and is CE marked as per UK law.

The popular FalcoHub design has been used across the UK for secure cycle and waiting hubs including; the capitals first series of community cycle hubs as part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest Mini Holland Programme, a bespoke cycle hub for Wolverhampton Interchange Station, a secure cycle hub for Kenley Station and 12m cycle hub for Walkden Station.
