BURRI and ZICLA® Vectorial® System share common values and a shared motivation to make public spaces in cities and communities sustainable, inclusive and user-friendly. The Spanish company is the leading manufacturer of modular, ecologically designed, temporary and permanent, reusable and recyclable element systems with a low ecological footprint for a wide range of applications in public spaces.
One of these is the Vectorial® system for the cost-effective, standards-compliant and rapid design of public transport stops (temporary or permanent) adapted for disabled people. The Vectorial® system is now available from BURRI in Switzerland.
The Vectorial® system is a durable, modular multi-purpose system that makes it quick, easy and cost-effective to convert bus stops into barrier-free kerbs that comply with the Law on Equality for the Disabled (LHand). Thanks to the modular construction principle, a platform can be built in different lengths, widths and heights. Thanks to different surface textures, inserts and colours, the Vectorial® system is versatile and can be configured to meet individual requirements. What's more, it can easily be reused in another location.
The most important aspects are:
The Vectorial® System is intriguing from a social perspective because it provides municipalities with an easily manageable tool in their efforts to implement the Disability Equality Act by the end of 2023, offering a pragmatic, swift, and effective solution.
Aus ökologischen Überlegungen ist es wertvoll, weil die Elemente ausschliesslich aus recycelten und wiederverwertbaren Materialien hergestellt werden. Sie sind mehrfach verwendbar und können am Ende ihrer Lebensdauer ohne Einschränkungen und schlechtes Gewissen erneut dem Kreislauf zugeführt werden.
It is valuable from an ecological point of view because the elements are made exclusively from recycled and recyclable materials. They can be used several times and can be returned to the cycle at the end of their service life without restrictions or a guilty conscience.
The Vectorial® system has other exciting applications outside the bus stop. For example, car parks to quickly transform parking spaces into relaxation areas or traffic islands to easily slow down traffic. Thanks to its versatility, the Vectorial® system can also be used for test layouts in streets (adapting the geometry of the carriageway) or for extending pavements or demarcating traffic areas for bicycles.
