Cycle Storage Installation at Nestles Avenue (Hayes Business Park)

Project

Client: Volker Fitzpatrick
Location: Nestles Avenue, Hayes

The Bike Storage Company partnered with Volker Fitzpatrick to deliver a large-scale, environmentally conscious cycle storage solution at Nestles Avenue – an urban regeneration scheme designed to support sustainable commuting. The project required
robust, secure, and space-efficient infrastructure while maintaining architectural consistency across the site.

Project Overview

Nestles Avenue, a mixed-use hub, needed functional cycle storage across multiple locations while meeting sustainability and security requirements. We supplied and installed a coordinated range of British-made enclosures and racks that balance durability with aesthetic appeal.

Challenges

• Space optimisation: Deliver compact yet high-capacity storage within limited site boundaries.
• Security: Integrate tamper-resistant features and robust materials to protect valuable bicycles.
• Sustainability: Ensure all units were BREEAM-compliant and aligned with environmental objectives.

Our Solution

Leveraging our experience in large-scale developments, we designed a bespoke cycle and bin storage strategy combining security, usability, and sustainability. Each element was precision-engineered, manufactured in Britain, and installed to the highest standards.

Product Highlights

Bespoke Bin Stores

• Hot-dipped galvanised steel frames (BS EN ISO 1461:2009) with powder-coated finish.
• 358 security mesh cladding for enhanced protection and visibility.
• Integrated Toastrack Cycle Racks for dual-purpose functionality.
• Optional sedum green roofing to support biodiversity and stormwater management.
• Made in Britain and BREEAM-compliant.

Specialised Cycle Storage Units

• Hot-dip galvanised frames with 358 mesh cladding for high durability and anti-climb security.
• Fitted with Sheffield Cycle Stands to ensure secure frame and wheel locking.
• Modular, open-fronted layouts providing simple access for multiple users.

Condenser Store

• Constructed to match the cycle enclosures, maintaining architectural uniformity.
• Provides a secure housing for condenser units, ensuring site-wide consistency.

Eco-Friendly Enhancements

• Optional upgrades including sedum roofs and perforated steel panels for improved ventilation.
• Flexible configuration allowing clients to tailor the specification to sustainability targets.

Professional Installation

Our in-house installation team managed all aspects of the delivery process – from logistics and ground preparation to final fitting – overcoming tight spatial and access constraints. Each unit was installed to specification, ensuring stability, accuracy, and minimal on-site disruption.

Results & Impact

• Enhanced security: Mesh-clad structures provide strength and visibility for secure cycle parking.
• Increased capacity: Optimised layouts accommodate large numbers of bikes without overextending the footprint.
• Environmental performance: Materials and design contribute to BREEAM and ESG objectives.
• Streamlined installation: Completed on schedule, maintaining operational efficiency across the site.

Why It Matters

The Nestles Avenue installation showcases how modular, British-made infrastructure can improve both the usability and sustainability of urban developments. The collaboration between Volker Fitzpatrick and The Bike Storage Company delivered a functional yet design-led cycle solution that supports London’s wider shift toward greener transport.
