Centro Histórico bike station for MOPT
- Problem
- The Ministry of Public Works and Transport wanted to install bike stations — bicycle lending points — at tourist sites around the country, with one design condition: the structure had to be able to come down and go back up anywhere. We took part in the process to build the first one and were selected — it would be installed right in Plaza Gerardo Barrios in the Historic Center.
- Build
- This time the drawing arrived ready: the design was MOPT's, and our job was everything that comes after the drawing. We sourced the materials and fabricated the complete structure in our shop — square-tube structural frames, expanded-metal doors, pillars, rails and bike racks — and assembled it on site with waterproofed roofing, a false ceiling, technical flooring, panels, lighting and the electrical system. The ministry provided the bicycles.
- Result
- The station was delivered and MOPT received it to full satisfaction through a formal acceptance certificate in 2025. It has operated in the heart of the Historic Center since, well received by the public — the press covered its arrival. A structure designed to move, built to stay as long as needed.
