Urban planning

In public spaces, every piece of installed equipment must remain securely in place, despite heavy foot traffic, inclement weather, and wear and tear on the ground. e‑viti’s “Urban Furnishing Fasteners” category is designed for local governments, technical departments, schools, and managers of public facilities who want to securely anchor their street furniture without adding to the workload on construction sites.

What are fastening systems for urban infrastructure used for?

When it comes to urban infrastructure, the need for fastening solutions is extensive and varied. It’s impossible to secure a parking bumper, a street shelter, a picnic table, a bench, a bike shelter, a bike rack or stand, a trash can, or sports equipment without a reliable anchoring solution. The goal is to preserve the integrity of the furniture, ensure user safety, and maintain the clarity of public space organization over time.

The fastening systems offered by e‑viti allow for the secure anchoring of most types of public furniture: sports equipment in a schoolyard, benches and tables on a plaza, signage at the entrance to a site, shelters and bike racks in a parking lot, and recycling bins near buildings. They help structure the urban landscape, guide usage, and ensure a safe experience for both users and on-site staff.

In addition, positioning and marking tools (stakeouts, stakes, markers) make layouts visible and understandable to all stakeholders, from the design phase through to the final installation of the street furniture. They facilitate compliance with plans and guidelines (traffic flow, accessibility, safety) in courtyards, parking lots, walkways, and pedestrian zones.

Fasteners for urban infrastructure available from E‑viti

The fastening solutions available from e‑viti cover the entire system, from the ground to the street furniture. Anchors secure urban equipment and street furniture by securing them to the ground. They provide a stable mounting for parking bumpers, shelter structures, bike racks and stands, picnic tables, urban benches, street trash cans, and even certain outdoor sports equipment.

The associated driving tools and chucks are designed to adjust the depth and hold of the anchor to suit the soil conditions found at public sites, whether it’s a schoolyard, a media center parking lot, or the area surrounding an administrative building. Finally, stakes, survey stakes, fluorescent construction markers, and paint markers allow for the precise marking of ground layouts and the maintenance of reliable reference points throughout the construction project.

How to Choose Fastening Systems for Urban Development?

Choosing the right fastening solution starts with considering the context of use. A parking bumper subjected to vehicle impacts, a sign at the entrance to a school, or a bike shelter located in a windy area will not face the same stresses as a bench set back from a pedestrian flow. The level of stress, the risk of vandalism, public accessibility, and the presence of cleaning equipment all influence the choice of anchoring type and installation depth.

The nature of the soil plays an equally crucial role. Backfilled or loose soil will require a deeper anchor to ensure long-term stability, whereas denser or stabilized soil will allow for shallower solutions. In all cases, the use of appropriate driving tools and mandrels ensures consistent and repeatable installation from one anchor point to the next.

Finally, site preparation must not be overlooked. On a school, parking lot, or administrative building project, having clear reference points (survey stakes, visible markers, fluorescent marker markings, and paint marker annotations) facilitates team coordination and minimizes layout errors. It also helps ensure the project remains clear and understandable to all stakeholders (project owner, project manager, contractors).
