John Deere Visitors Centre project for Bailey Streetscene

15 Apr 2020

Bailey Streetscene has designed, manufactured and installed a bespoke awning canopy to serve the entrance of a new Visitors Centre for John Deere in Nottingham, working alongside Lindum Group.

The canopy sits in front of the newly built glass fronted showroom, displaying the latest equipment from John Deere.

The ‘stadium’ shaped roof design, as well as the unique Umber powder coated finish, were developed for the canopy to coordinate with existing structures on the site.

Due to predetermined drainage outlets, thorough calculations were needed to take into consideration the movement of the shelter in regards to its proximity with the building facade.

To minimise movement, the canopy utilises below ground fixings and a branching structure to secure the canopy in eight points. The design also features discreet drainpipes that run alongside the legs, directly into the ground drainage.

The canopy is an adaptation of the company’s Arbor Canopy, as featured at the Stena Line Ferry Port in Loch Ryan. A highly durable structure specifically designed to withstand strong coastal winds.

A contracts manager at Lindum Group said that ‘all aspects’ of the order were delivered ‘on time and to a high standard’.

John Deere Limited started trading from Langar in January 1966, and the original premises are still in use today as the company’s visitor centre and national parts distribution centre.

The last 54 years has seen it grow to be the biggest supplier of agricultural and turf machinery to the British and Irish markets.
