Supply and Installation of two Bus Stops.
Our Space successfully installed two bus stops for Equans at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. The installation was completed within the agreed timeline and budget, ensuring functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing bus stop facilities for public transit use.
The project’s scope included the following tasks:
- Site Assessment: Conducting a comprehensive assessment with our client of the installation locations to determine optimal positioning, compliance with transit authority requirements, and accessibility for passengers.
- Design Approval: Collaborating with the customer to finalise designs and features of the bus stops, including shelter size, materials, signage, seating, and waste bins.
- Procurement of Materials: Sourcing high-quality materials for the bus stop structures, ensuring durability and weather resistance.
- Installation: The installation process involves several key steps:
- Excavation: Preparing the site by excavating to the required depth for foundation installation.
- Foundation Work: Pouring concrete bases to ensure structural stability for the bus stops.
- Coordinating Bus Stops involved agreeing with the client on an out-of-hours program, limiting the amount of disruption to the hospital services. Both Bus stops were delivered to site pre-assembled and craned off into position, reducing installation times on site by 50%.
- Installation of Fixtures: Adding seating, signage, waste receptacles, and any additional features as per the approved plan.
- Safety Measures: Implemented safety protocols during installation, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and minimising disruption to the surrounding area.
The project was completed within budget, carefully considering resource allocation and managing unexpected costs.
Conclusion
The installation of two bus stops for Equans was successfully executed, providing the necessary transit infrastructure for the community. The project adhered to safety, budget, and timeline parameters, demonstrating Our Space commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
