Hosted by television presenter and Paralympic athlete Ade Adepitan, the British Parking Awards took place on Friday 6th March at the Lancaster Hotel.
Recognising leading examples of car park management, enforcement, design and team work; the event’s 15 categories were contested by more than 60 entrants.
In the Best Car Park Refurbishment category, two projects were shortlisted using products and systems from Sika – All Hallows MSCP in Bedford and The Merrion Centre Car Park in Leeds.
The award was eventually given to Makers Construction, in partnership with Bedford Borough Council for their renovation of AllHallows MSCP.
The winning Allhallow multi-storey car park.
The multi-million refurbishment of Allhallow MSCP was part of a regeneration project to revamp Bedford bus station and a gateway to the town centre.
Sika were specified as a single source supply for concrete repairs, corrosion management and both deck and soffit coatings – making the area more presentable to the town’s visitors.
The shortlisted Merrior Centre Car Park has been transformed into a modern and technologically advanced car park by Makers Construction Ltd.
Sika provided a range of concrete repair structural strengthening and corrosion management systems during a major refurbishment of the 950 space multi-storey car park.
