Blanke GmbH (Arlesheim)

Finding coherent solutions for unusual tasks spurs us on: Nature and art, creativity and perfection. Together with our customers, we break new ground, for example in conception, material selection, collaboration. And because we love challenges, the range of products has constantly expanded.

Playgrounds: Design, planning and construction of customized play spaces, expansion and renovation of existing facilities, maintenance.

In our urban living conditions, play spaces suitable for children are becoming increasingly important. They are an indispensable component for healthy physical and mental development. There is a need for places for children that allow creativity and diversity of experience. It is important to us that children can experience the world with all their senses according to their age. All playground equipment and horticultural measures comply with the safety standards according to SN EN 1176. Torsten Blanke is, among other things, trained as a qualified playground inspector. The wood comes, where possible, from Swiss forests.
The process of building can also be designed creatively. If you want to involve children, parents or educators in the practical implementation, we will find opportunities and ways to make this possible.

Playground inspection: Inspection of new and existing facilities according to European safety standard EN 1176, regular inspection for wear and tear, advice and support in planning and construction, repair of defects that have arisen, as well as construction defects.

Well-designed playgrounds offer children challenges that help them learn to assess themselves and dangers. A certain level of risk with low consequences increases the value of play and promotes children's development.
However, hazards that are difficult or nearly impossible for children to assess and that have serious consequences must be eliminated. This is done not only in the design and construction of new facilities, but also by regularly inspecting existing facilities for wear and damage.
In Switzerland, there are clear standards and regulations for the construction of playgrounds. As qualified playground inspectors, we can check a playground facility for compliance with the standards and issue an officially valid certificate. This is important for the playground owner, especially in insurance cases.
