Tensabarrier makes a big splash at Bluewater
- Europe's largest shopping center chooses Tensabarrier

With 320 different shops and 40 restaurants on a 154,000 square meter site Bluewater is Europe's largest covered shopping center. Over the next 25 years 30,000 new homes are planned for the catchment area and research carried out by the University of Reading shows that there are 10 million people within an hour's drive.

Meticulously planned Bluewater has taken over two and a half years to complete at a cost of around £350 million. The Australian property developer behind the landmark, Lend Lease, is determined to make the shopping experience unique.
Nothing has been left to chance. Over 22,000 consumers have taken part in group discussions and the whole scheme has been designed to take their views into account and provide exactly what they want.

What shoppers don't want, of course, is to be caught up in crowds and to prevent this the Bluewater development team has specified the use of Tensabarriers in the Wintergarden food court. Variety and choice will attract shoppers to stay in the complex longer, with substantial numbers requiring refreshments. they will visit one of the three entertainment villages which offer a choice of themed dinning.
The Wintergarden with its family theme houses the McDonald's restaurant as well as a Villa Pizza and Singapore Sam and is expected to be a busy spot.

Tensabarriers will be used to allow shoppers to circulate and maintain access to the central seating area when queues build up at the fast-food outlets.
"The flexibility of the Tensabarrier system provides us with a means of dealing with fluctuations in traffic and ensuring our guests can enjoy their experience here to the full," a member of the Bluewater team said.

Richard Martin, UK Sales Manager said, "Many of the major retail outlets in this huge development use Tensabarrier and we have supplied Standard All-Weather Tensabarriers to Bluewater. Although they are intended for the Wintergarden they are finished in stainless steel and can be used outdoors if required. They also have dye-printed webbing in a special corporate blue featuring the Bluewater logo and look very stylish. I'm sure these Tensabarriers will make a big splash at Bluewater."

Big Mac Savings in Sweden
- McDonald's outlets throughout Sweden save money with Tensabarrier

McDonald's is now making big savings in Sweden thanks to Tensabarrier wall units. It has found that by restricting sections of a restaurant with 2.3m, 3.5m or 7m wall mounted Tensabarriers, cleaning can be guided to areas that are still operational so they are not inconvenienced and most importantly the amount of time staff have to be kept on, after the restaurant closes, is considerably reduced.

Employees obviously benefit as they are not required to work any later than is necessary and the management benefits as labor costs are reduced. Fredrik Wejdmark, of Prowejd AB, the Scandinavian Tensabarrier distributor says, "Calculations carried out by some of the smaller outlets here in Sweden have indicated that the potential cost saving for a typical outlet over a twelve month period is considerable. With Tensabarrier wall units so competitively priced, unobtrusive and virtually maintenance free it is a very attractive economic proposition."

This has not gone unnoticed by McDonald's. The low investment cost and ease of installation has resulted in the majority of their outlets in Sweden being equipped with wall units.

Tensabarrier goes down the Tube
- London Underground Ltd. chose Tensabarrier for provision of new queue management equipment

Tensabarriers are a familiar sight in the London Underground with many stations still making good use of the early Mark I Tensabarriers.

Recently, as part of a policy to introduce better passenger access and improve traffic flow, 700 new Tensabarriers were ordered, along with 140 sign holders and 74 combination sigh holder/leaflet dispensers. The standard Yellow post with black/yellow diagonally stripped webbing was specified, a color combination which is particularly effective in public areas.

Fluctuations in traffic and the ebb and flow of daily commuters are constant problems for which the Tensabarrier provides an ideal solution.

Phil Roddy, Senior Buyer for London Underground Network Purchasing, said, "As part of our commitment to customers we want to improve efficiency and cut down time spent queuing. The flexibility of a Tensabarrier system is particularly useful in helping us manage increases in traffic at peak times, as you can imagine, it is especially useful in the rush-hour".

Some 60 stations throughout the network will be furnished with the new Tensabarriers, including Heathrow and many busy central stations such as Piccadilly Circus.
The equipment will be used to help improve queue management at ticket offices, direct traffic to maximize escalator efficiency and close off access to escalators that may need maintenance.

So it's true! Tensabarrier goes down the tube, but only to do what it does best - provide customer guidance and queue management for London Underground.

Hybrid TensaGuide system in trails at Madrid Airport

The original Tensabarrier was developed for the British Airports Authority and airports with their exceptionally high volumes of transitory pedestrian traffic still prove to be a challenging environment for any queue management product.

When the authority that controls the airports in Spain decided to evaluate a new system, Tensabarrier was the automatic choice.
Because of the heavy peak traffic, especially in summer, Spanish airports need something that offers the strength and resilience of a fixed rail system, but that is also adaptable enough to accommodate fluctuations in volume.

An ingenious Tensaguide system incorporating Tensabarrier units which provide the flexibility to allow the queue layout to be varied according to traffic density, has been provided in answer to this problem.

Although Tensaguide is designed for use in extremely busy environments where flow change is not critical it was specifically developed to complement and integrate with Tensabarrier. This is good example of the way in which the two products can work in harmony.

Oliver Perrault, the Spanish Tensabarrier distributor is enthusiastic about the installation. "This hybrid Tensaguide system is currently being evaluated in the check-in area at Madrid. It's a big opportunity for us because if all goes well the system will be put into use at airports throughout the country."
