Yes, Brasco does offer the service of structural engineering with structural calculations by a licensed structural engineer in all 50 states and limited international locations. Structural engineering is an additional fee.

No, all permitting needs to be handled by the customer in their respective locations. Brasco is a supply-only manufacturer.

Brasco does not provide concrete foundations. Prior to installation, Brasco recommends customers review the concrete pad for the size and pitch. The concrete pad must be a minimum of 6” larger than the structure on all sides and must be level. Brasco offers a recommendation guide for concrete pads needed to secure our shelters. You can review our concrete pad recommendation HERE.

Installation of the concrete pad would need to be arranged by the customer.  Consult local building codes or licensed contractors for specific recommendations.

Brasco offers concrete pad design and analysis through a third-party structural engineer. If you are interested in this service, please contact our sales team by email at info@brasco.com or calling 313-393-0393 extension 203.

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a durable and corrosion-resistant layer on the surface of aluminum. It involves immersing the aluminum in an acid electrolyte bath and passing an electric current through it. This process causes the aluminum to oxidize and form a protective layer of aluminum oxide on the surface. The resulting anodized finish is integral to the metal and cannot peel or chip off.

Powder coating is a dry finishing process where a fine powder of color pigment and resin is electrostatically applied to the surface of the metal (in this case, aluminum). The coated part is then cured in an oven, which causes the powder to melt and form a smooth and durable finish. Powder coating is available in a wide range of colors and finishes. Depending on the product, a powder coat painted finish or anodized finish will be recommended. Brasco’s Slimline, Executive, and Monumental Series Shelters are offered in an anodized aluminum finish. Products that require welding are only available in a powder coat painted finish. Brasco has created Brasco Clear and Brasco Bronze powder coat paint that match the clear anodized and dark bronze anodized finish.

You can review Brasco’s anodized finish options HERE and our powder coat paint options HERE.

Yes, Brasco does offer custom powder coat paint colors. To match a custom color, we will need the CMYK, RBG, or Pantone color code to provide our powder coat paint vendor. Custom powder coat paint colors are subject to additional fees.

Yes, our shelters can be seamlessly integrated with bike storage solutions to provide a comprehensive and convenient transit experience! We recommend that shelters used for bike storage have a depth of 7’ or greater to ensure the bikes have adequate overhead protection. Additionally, Brasco offers various options for bike racks and storage within our shelter designs.   If you would like to discuss your upcoming bike shelter project to see what shelter is best for you, please reach out to our dedicated sales team by email at info@brasco.com or by calling 313-393-0393 ext. 203.

While the materials used for each shelter vary depending on shelter model and customer choices, our shelters are mainly comprised of structural grade aluminum, glass, plastics such as structured polycarbonate and acrylic, and steel fasteners. If you need specifications for a specific shelter, please inquire with our sales team by reaching out to them via email at info@brasco.com or by calling 313-393-0393 ext. 203.

Yes, Brasco bus shelters are designed with weather-resistance in mind. We understand the importance of durability and protection from the elements in ensuring a comfortable and reliable transit experience for passengers. Our shelters are built using high-quality materials that are carefully selected to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, wind, snow, and UV exposure. Additionally, our engineering team ensures that our shelters meet local building codes and standards for wind load, snow load, and other environmental factors, further enhancing their weather-resistant properties.

Absolutely! We can provide extra roof support for a green roof on our bus shelters. Green roofs, also known as a living roof, provide space for live plants to grow on the structures roof. Shelter models with sloped or flat roofs are best for this – try our Slimline Shed or Eclipse Sloped for your green roof initiative.

Incorporating effective wayfinding solutions into our bus shelters is a specialty at Brasco. We understand the importance of providing clear navigation for passengers. Our shelter designs can seamlessly integrate wayfinding displays that guide commuters to their destinations with ease. Whether it's route maps, schedules, or directional signage, our team will work closely with you to ensure that your shelter is equipped with the right wayfinding elements to enhance the overall transit experience for your passengers.

Absolutely, adding branding elements to our shelters is a fantastic way to create a unique and recognizable identity for your transit system. At Brasco, we offer various customization options that allow you to incorporate branding elements seamlessly. You can choose from options like custom color finishes, logo placement, banner identification signs, and even two-sided advertising displays to showcase your brand and messages effectively. Our team is experienced in working with clients to integrate branding elements into shelter designs while maintaining a cohesive and professional look. To discuss all of the possible branding customizations, connect with our sales team at info@brasco.com or call 313-393-0393 ext. 203.

We do recommend installing our shelters on level concrete pads. However, we understand that is not always possible and have adjustable anchor boot solutions on certain bus shelter lines that can accommodate approximately 3-4 inches of adjustability. We do offer custom anchor boots if you need more adjustability. Please check with our sales team to make sure the bus shelter model you are interested in has anchor boot adjustability.

Our design team is skilled in integrating technology into our shelter designs. We commonly integrate lighting elements, charging ports, advertising displays, and wayfinding housing into our shelter designs. Our sales and design teams are happy to work with customers to provide custom solutions for specific technology requirements.
