Battersea Power Station – Bespoke Bike Hub

Battersea Power Station

A decommissioned Grade-II listed power station, Battersea Power Station is located on the south bank of the River Thames and holds a revered position amongst London’s most iconic landmarks.

One of the largest brick buildings ever made, the station consolidated its status as a cultural icon the world over when it featured on the cover artwork of Pink Floyd’s platinum selling album Animals.

After falling into a state of near ruin following its 1975 closure, the site has undergone significant renovation work over the past decade and is now home to numerous offices, residencies, bars, restaurants, shops and more.

Re-opened in early 2022, the site is a prime example of urban rejuvenation, and our team was chosen to enable visitors, residents, and workers alike the opportunity to cycle to this exciting venue.

Our solution

To deliver on this substantial project, our team was required to design, manufacture and install a variety of bespoke solutions that could meet the detailed architectural and client requirements of this landmark third phase at Battersea Power Station.

A complex arrangement of Semi-Vertical Racks, Gas Assisted Two Tier Racks, Solo Vertical and Vertical Bike Racks were identified as the ideal choices for the space, enabling us to fully optimise the areas available and create in excess of 1,500 secure bike spaces.

Over 300 metres of High Security Mesh Partitioning was installed throughout the hubs, each to secure and divide the numerous individual stores. We were also asked to design, manufacture and install over 70 Tenant Cycle Stores, providing residents with their own fully private secure storage cages.

Numerous Maintenance Stations were installed across the location to enable general bike upkeep that will help users stay safe on the roads. Our Maintenance Stations integrated a heavy-duty bicycle pump, for complete end of journey peace of mind.

It was a privilege to play a role in the revitalisation of one of London’s most recognisable landmarks, something we are incredibly proud to have our name against. We have already been invited to carry out similar works on two of the subsequent phases.
