10 Sation Road is a unique office building beside Cambridge station. Its vibrant and sustainable design provides an unrivalled opportunity for businesses to join the cluster of world-class firms in Cambridge’s central business district. The commercial building is 50,444 sq ft of highly sustainable BREEAM, with five floors of modern and flexible accommodation for more than 4,000 people. The development’s elegant office buildings form part of this diverse mix of homes, hotels, shops, cafes, restaurants, parks, and squares.

As part of the new building, we worked alongside Cube Install Ltd to manufacture and install Helmsman Z Lockers with seat stands for workers to store personal belongings. As part of the project, we provided 46, to accommodate 92 employees, the bespoke Z Lockers are wet specifications so the lockers are suitable for areas with high humidity.

The specifications of the 46 bespoke Z lockers were 1450mm high, 298mm wide with 1mm rivets and 450mm deep. Bespoke Z Locker were installed with seat stands, allowing the employees to sit whilst changing shoes rather than having to balance when standing.

The stunning Z lockers were manufactured with aluminium body, and stainless steel frames with laminate, in our carbon neutral range, ‘English Oak’. The 23 carcasses of the lockers were powder coated in our standard range ‘Yellow’ and the remaining 23 in ‘Rockpool’. The cantilevered seat slats were in ‘English Oak’ allowing the stands to match the lockers, to keep the project’s aesthetic atmosphere.

The locks chosen for the project were the KitLock 1000. These are a great choice for both assigned and new users each day, so they are perfect for shared changing rooms at 10 Station Road. Additionally, it compliments the lockers with the laminate used.

It was great to work alongside Cube Install Ltd on this project, look forward to some more exciting projects in the future.

We worked alongside Flexible Business Environments, who are a long-established office interiors and furniture solutions, with over 100 years of industry experience.

Here at Helmsman, our team manufactured and installed 78 Z Lockers to accommodate 156 employees. Z lockers were manufactured with aluminium bodies and solid-grade laminate doors which are designed for wet environment that has humidity such as changing rooms

The specification of the 78 bespoke Laminate Z Lockers was 1650mm high, 384mm wide, and 450mm deep. Laminate Z Locker was installed with seat stands allowing the employees to sit whilst changing shoes rather than having to balance whilst standing. Sloping tops were added to Z Lockers, which is a great feature as it keeps dust from building up and prevents anything from being stored on top of the lockers. Furthermore, bench seating was requested for in  ‘Country Oak’ for a dry area that is perfect for an atmosphere free of moisture and humidity.

Our customers requested the laminate doors to be in ‘Country Oak’ whereas the carcass of the lockers was powder coated in ‘Black’ in the Helmsman colour range. The seats were Helmsman Ash Hardwood, and the stands were powder coated in ‘Black’ to blend with the lockers. Bespoke laminate Z lockers were finished with oval laminated number plates and Camlocks are an excellent choice as it assures the employees that their personal belongings are safe and secure.

Helmsman Z Lockers are a fantastic choice of lockers as their modern, inventive, and stylish form accommodates two users to store inside the footprint of one locker. We also provide Heated Z Lockers, for employees who commute to work and need to dry garments by the end of the day, just to hang up the damp clothes inside the lockers by the end of the day the Heated Z Lockers have done the job by the end of the day.

It was great working alongside Flexible Business Environment on this project for Tensar, a division of CMC, we wish them the best of luck in the future.
