Our fixing crews are overseen by the Managers who are all qualified to Supervisor level of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991.
The bus shelter installation crews all have at least one member qualified to Operative level of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1991. This provides qualification to undertake the following:
- Excavation in the road / highway
- Excavation, back-filling and reinstatement – construction layers
- Reinstatement – hot and cold lay bituminous materials
- Reinstatement of concrete slabs
- Reinstatement of modular surfaces and concrete footways
We operate 7.5t or 12 tonne flatbed lorries with a front mounted HIAB crane and all the crews have been trained to install the shelters safely and with customer care paramount.
Risk assessment and method statements (RAMS)
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM Regulations) are intended to ensure that health and safety issues are properly considered during a project’s development so that the risk of harm to those who build, use and maintain structures is reduced.
Generic RAMS documents can be produced prior to any bus shelter installation and depending on the site conditions and the type of project that’s being undertaken, more specific RAMS can be produced on request.
All Site Operatives hold CSCS cards.
Here’s what our customers think…
“Glen has always been incredibly helpful and will travel to Swansea for site surveys, to ensure the most appropriate product is ordered and installed. The ordering process is quick and easy and shelters are always installed within set timescales – sometimes even before! I wish to extend our thanks to Glen and all the team at GW Shelters and hope our working relationship continues for many years to come!”
Charlotte Collins, Swansea Council“We have worked with GW Shelter solutions for many years they have always provided a good quality product which has withstood the test of time. The choice of specification provides shelters to suit any location and environment. Glen is easy to deal with from design to installation, offering advice and assistance with any issues that may arise, keeping us updated on projects, meeting agreed timescales and flexible to changes when requested.”
Mary Welch, North Yorkshire Council“Our Council took a long time to find a supplier that could provide a good quality shelter, and we are delighted to work with GW Shelters. Since 2021 they have installed seven bus shelters and supplied us with spare panels to fit our existing shelters. Although we are based in Northumberland physical distance has been no problem for site visits. Our experience has been that GW Shelters provides the right product, a seamless installation and a good after sales service.”
Angela Brindley, Choppington Parish Council“Once again, GW Shelter Solutions design, supply and install another Bus Shelter for Fenland District Council within agreed timescales and budget. Our go to company, especially when requiring glazing and maintenance parts for our older assets which still remain structurally sound and in use today; many of which have had a good coat of paint, a re-glazing to accordingly to local environment resulting in GW Shelter Solutions providing a new looking shelter with a significant reduction in cost when compared to a new installation. I cannot recommend them enough.”
