Concrete
pavilion
One element, four uses
A single concrete element can be used in four ways: on its own as a shelter, in a row as a bus stop canopy, in facing pairs as a covered seating bay, or in threes or fours as a pavilion.
The C-profile in reinforced concrete C35/45 is 240 cm long, 200 cm deep and 262 cm high. The gaps can be planted using stainless steel climbing cables or trellises. The seat and base slab are part of the element. All that is needed is a compacted gravel bed.
Applications
- Bus stops
- Seating bays
- Pavilions
On a gravel bed · foundation-free
Weather protection in public space
Typical locations are bus stops, school playgrounds, parks, campsites, sports grounds, cemeteries and rest areas. The 240 × 200 × 262 cm concrete element has seating for 4–5 people and shelters about 10 people from rain and sun in total. The element can stand alone. Placed side by side, several elements form a continuous bus shelter; placed facing each other, they form a seating bay with a privacy screen. Three or four elements make a pavilion with seating for up to 16 people and shelter for up to 40.
Installing and moving
The element is set on a compacted gravel or crushed-stone bed with a mobile crane, with no foundation or paving work. It has no bolted joints and no moving parts. That is why it needs little maintenance and is easy to move or dismantle.
Compared with steel or timber versions, reinforced concrete ages more slowly and does not need constant protection from rust or rot. Concrete does not burn and needs hardly any maintenance over its whole life. The seamless surface is also easy to clean, which matters especially at bus stops and in school playgrounds.
The shelter element
Our shelter element is a single precast unit in reinforced concrete. The base slab and bench are cast in one piece with it. The mobile crane sets the element in one piece; it weighs about 6.3 t. There is nothing to assemble.
Multifunctional
Several elements can be arranged freely and regrouped later. Nothing has to be dismantled for that.
Foundation-free
No foundation and no paving: the groundwork on site is minimal.
Robust
Reinforced concrete C35/45 does not burn, does not bend and is hard to damage. It is weather-resistant and stays stable even under constant use in public spaces.
Low-maintenance
The element has no screws and no delicate parts. The floor is easy to clean. The materials are recyclable.
No pane to smash
Glass waiting shelters are a frequent target of vandalism. In one German city, after a wave of vandalism, 29 smashed panes had to be replaced at 18 bus shelters. The cost was about 20,000 euros. Our shelter element has no panes that could be smashed or would need replacing.
Picnic area
At rest areas, campsites or club grounds, the element becomes a covered picnic area for 8 people.
Sports grounds
At the side of the pitch, the element shelters spectators and people waiting from rain and sun.
