Beale Place, Bournemouth

Project Solution

Our RailRoad range provides wide bench platforms that can be used from both sides with backrests for additional comfort on sections of the seating, armrests to aid less able-bodied people in sitting down and integrated planters introducing greenery to the area. Five separate seating / planter configurations were supplied in total – three comprising three seating modules (two with curved backrests) and two with two seats – providing capacity for at least 24 people at any one time, and even more when the bench sections are used simultaneously from both sides.

Although these configurations would normally be supplied freestanding, the pronounced falls at Beale Place needed seating supports to be set into the ground to take up the level variations. The ‘Loop’ circular post support is perfect for such situations and has been installed here into an F1 ground socket so that the seating can also be easily removed in the future. Steelwork is hot dip galvanised for maximum corrosion resistance, with a green polyester powder coating on top, and timbers treated with a UV protective finish to delay the fading effects of the sun.
