Over the past few months, a series of new rail and bus passenger shelters have been installed around Cornwall, with a complimentary response from the public.
Stringent regulations which demand a 50 year service life for shelters, coupled with Abellio Great Anglia’s brief of creating more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing installations, led joinery firm Benjamin Stedman to recommend Accoya as the material of choice.
Not only does the wood come with a 50 year above ground guarantee, but its superior structural stability, high durability and low maintenance needs make it a unique solution. The shelters are truly modern – based on durable renewable materials and at the forefront of modified wood engineering – and sit alongside an additional range of modular Accoya and Tricoya shelters designed for particularly narrow platforms.
These shelters provide an entrance into the railway platform area and home the seating and digital services, from ticket machines to signage, making them ideal for unstaffed stations and offering great value as they can serve many different functions. Most impressively, all of Benjamin Stedman’s shelters can be fully installed in just two days.
Unlike most other shelters in the UK, which are usually made from painted steel, aluminium or – at the higher end – stainless steel, these new shelters are predominantly crafted from Accoya, the world-leading high-performance sustainable timber.
