Dingwall Road, Croydon:
The Ruskin Square car park on Dingwall Road has recently been fully modernised to help accommodate growing car parking needs. It is conveniently located to local attractions such as the Whitgift Shopping Centre and BoxPark Croydon. With these local retail and leisure facilities on the car park’s doorstep, it was necessary to ensure that it is secure and compliant for all users.
The park itself is fully accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so safety was a key priority throughout the project. It houses 565 parking bays for people to use and resembles an effective resource in the local area to provide access to key sites.
We ensured all products specified on the project were fit for purpose and met the client’s needs. We installed a combination of RB1X posts, handrail, mesh, and our patented BS EN 6180 restraint strap to create a total solution.
Pedestrian protection was a key priority – our restraint strap offers limited deflection on the handrail from pedestrian loading. The strap reinforces the handrail to provide additional protection to the vehicle restraint system.
