Ensuring the safety and stability of our urban benches is a multi-faceted process that begins long before installation. We start with rigorous material selection, choosing only high-grade, weather-resistant substances like powder-coated steel, treated hardwoods, or reinforced polymers that can withstand heavy use and harsh environmental conditions. Every bench design then undergoes thorough structural engineering analysis, utilizing computer simulations to model weight distribution and stress points, ensuring the final product can safely support significant loads.
Following the design phase, we conduct extensive stability testing in controlled environments. This includes static load tests that exceed standard weight requirements and dynamic tests that simulate real-world scenarios like leaning or rocking. Our commitment continues after installation with a proactive maintenance protocol. Our teams perform regular, scheduled inspections to check for loose bolts, signs of corrosion, structural fatigue, or damage to slats and surfaces. Any identified issues are promptly addressed to prevent hazards.
Furthermore, we prioritize intelligent installation. Benches are securely anchored to stable, level surfaces, often using concrete footings, to prevent tipping or shifting. By integrating robust materials, meticulous engineering, thorough testing, and diligent upkeep, we create public seating that is not only aesthetically pleasing but fundamentally safe, stable, and built to last for years to come.
