Climate change has brought about major
changes in weather cycles, and the need for commuters to find shelter from the
dramatic heavy rain storms and the parched heat of summer has increased the
requirement for solid, safe and indestructible bus shelters for those using
municipal and local transportation.
Rocla, one of South Africa’s leading
precast concrete manufacturers, has developed a virtually indestructible and
vandal-proof precast concrete bus shelter, that offers shelter from heat and
rain as well as seating in its modular design. The durability of the concrete
product guarantees decades of maintenance-free life, an important fact for
cash-strapped local municipalities wanting to ensure budgets for street
furniture are well spent. It also prevents structural vandalism.
The Rocla bus shelter can also be supplied
with wind walls for one or both sides of the shelter, and although supplied in
a light grey colour, the surface is easily painted for advertising, roadside
markings and community notice purposes.
Offering commuters shelter from inclement
weather with the Rocla solid bus shelter can also lead to the creation of
centrally situated community transportation points, thereby increasing commuter
safety and convenience. Rocla also offers concrete taxi rank shelters and bus
stops as well as other related street furniture such as concrete vendor stalls,
sanitation units and concrete street lighting poles.
Contractors are easily able to transfer
the bus shelter installation skills to members of local communities which can
form part of their community outreach programmes.
Rocla is part of the ISG which also
includes Technicrete.
