The brief
An existing client in Totton contacted us about replacing an existing bus shelter after a traffic accident. It was a Pitched Roof Shelter from our Arun Bus Shelter range.
The process
Our team visited the site to assess the damage that the shelter had sustained. However, rather than replacing the shelter entirely. we planned to salvage some parts from the existing shelter and, in combination with new parts, restore the shelter to its former glory.
Repairs and installation
Despite the impact of a vehicle crashing into it, the majority of the shelter’s steel structure was salvageable. We removed the shelter from the location, taking it back to our repair yard to dismantle it for re-use. Combining it with new parts, we re-installed the shelter slightly northbound of its old position as requested by the customer.
Our customer was incredibly pleased and surprised that we managed the salvage many of the old parts, saving money and materials. This is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Arun Bus Shelter range.
