Shopping centres and retail developments are dynamic spaces that require careful planning and execution, ensuring they meet the needs of businesses, employees, and the broader community while creating an open, thriving business environment.
SVC offers a range of products tailored to enhance the efficiency, safety, and appeal of shopping precincts. Products encompass a range of applications from stormwater management to outdoor design, supporting the development of vibrant and functional retail communities.
Stormwater Management
A key consideration when building new commercial developments is the effective management of stormwater runoff, ensuring it is quickly drained from the site into drainage infrastructure. Whether it is construction of a new retail precinct or a significant upgrade of an existing commercial development, the introduction of more buildings and hard surfaces will dramatically increase the volume of stormwater runoff. This requires the implementation of new drainage assets or on-site stormwater detention, ensuring a controlled flow of stormwater into the drainage system.
SVC’s range of civil stormwater products includes stormwater pits, access covers, drainage grates and on-site detention systems. These products are crucial for drainage infrastructure, helping to reduce the impact of stormwater runoff and mitigate flooding risks.
Traffic Management & Safety
The flow of traffic is an important factor in the design of retail developments, where safety is a key concern due to high levels of pedestrian and vehicular movement.
SVC supplies various options for traffic flow management and pedestrian safety, including carpark wheel stops, speed humps, and reinforced concrete bollards. These products are designed to slow vehicular traffic and reinforce the boundary between pedestrians and cars, creating a more organised and efficient traffic environment.
Streetscape and Public Furniture
Street furniture plays a crucial role in creating comfortable and attractive retail spaces, allowing users to take a break from shopping, have a seat and enjoy their surroundings. SVC offers a catalogue range of design-ready concrete seats and benches, built to withstand the rigors of daily use and exposure to weather elements.
SVC can also support developers with custom-made concrete street furniture, offering flexible customisation options to achieve a myriad of different design outcomes.
Greenery & Landscaping Elements
The inclusion of landscaping elements can soften the atmosphere of a commercial environment, making it more inviting and welcoming. SVC offers landscape elements such as spheres and planters that help to liven up an outdoor space. The introduction of lush greenery also has a positive effect on air quality and the environment’s overall visual appeal.
