The Challenge
M&P Construction needed to safeguard their newly built warehouses against heavy goods vehicle (HGV) impacts while also meeting BCAR planning requirements for employee cycling facilities. The key goals were:
-
Asset protection — preventing costly damage to buildings, fencing, and infrastructure.
-
Planning compliance — providing adequate cycle parking facilities for staff.
