Locker Project at Grand Central Station in Belfast

The brand-new multi-modal Transport Hub provides 26 more bus stops and 8 train platforms, it will have more capacity and improve accessibility and comfort for walking and cycling as well as promote more environmentally friendly and active transportation for a smarter, healthier city.

Helmsman was delighted to assist Farrans Sacyr Jv with the lockers in the project.

The clients requested a variety of lockers; a couple of floors with laminate Z lockers, while on the other floor, there were metal lockers and charging lockers. Between all the floors we supplied and installed 192 Z lockers for 384 people, 37 three-compartment metal lockers for 111 people and 19 six-compartment charging lockers for 114 people. Z Lockers are an excellent option for locker design that maximizes internal space while maintaining a small footprint.

As one of the leading manufacturers of lockers, we specialize in bespoke locker design. Since the specified locker size did not correspond to our standard size, a custom z locker design measuring 1775mm high, 380mm wide and 505mm deep. The metal lockers were also manufactured with bespoke measurements; three-compartment metal lockers were 1910mm high, 320mm wide and 450mm deep and the charging lockers measurement was 1910mm high, 436mm wide and 450mm deep.

As all the lockers were for a dry environment, the body and the doors of metal lockers were manufactured from mild steel and powder coated in ‘Pure White’ from the Helmsman colour chart. The Z lockers carcass was fabricated from mild steel and powder coated in ‘Pure White’ and the doors were solid grade laminate in the beautiful colour of ‘Classic Wenge’ by Formica. Our laminate lockers and metal lockers provide a modern, aesthetic finish and are perfect for any setting where lockers are to be used on a regular basis. Metal lockers were completed with camlocks with number plates and Z lockers with camlocks and black laminate oval numbering, which was aesthetically pleasing.

Additionally, our team manufactured and delivered 29 island bench seating. The frame of each bench was a 40mm square steel tube with ash hardwood slats.

As usual, our installation team worked hard to provide the best finish to the project. We have enjoyed working alongside Farrans Sacyr Jv and are looking forward to seeing the Transport hub finished and opened in 2025.
