Rediweld install BusPad across the UK

Since launching the revised BusPad in April this year, Rediweld has been working hard to promote this new version. Successful installations have taken place all over the UK including Reading, Dorset, Boston, Conwy, Worcester, Derby with many more locations still waiting to be installed. The BusPad was recently installed at a location in Derby where they wanted to achieve a temporary raised area for their Park & Ride scheme. The BusPad was installed within 45 minutes and was immediately used upon completion.

Bournemouth Borough Council needed a solution to raise the kerb height for the bus users at Boscombe bus station but did not want to replace their existing bus shelters. As a solution we were able to install the BusPad within the shelters offering the additional raised area required with minimum disruption to the users and public. Boscombe now has four BusPads located within the bus station. After this successful installation we can now offer the BusPad as a bespoke service for bus shelters and standard solutions.

BusPad is proving to be a practical low cost alternative to Kassel kerbs. It can be supplied in different sizes to suit each location. The greatest benefit is the speed of installation and minimised disruption. Features of the revised design include a fine leading edge on the ramps and corners, this eliminates any trip hazard. The unique fixing system secures BusPad to most surfaces and uses a new anchor block made from supertough nylon. By moulding the anchor blocks in white they are used to highlight the flat top area on the raised platform.

BusPad is 65mm high and so raises a normal pavement to typically 170 - 190mm above the road.
