16m2 Terrabound Resin Bound Autumn Toffee 5mm and 12m2 Terrabound Resin Bound Terracotta 6mm

Completed February 2017

AddagripAddagrip approved contractor Coatech Ltd were proud to install the surfacing around the recently unveiled RAF 47 Squadron Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Situated in Alrewas, on the edge of the National Forest, the Arboretum is home to over 330 memorials.

Addagrip 47SquadronMemorialThe new memorial, a representation of all the past, present and future members of No. 47 Squadron, features three pilots by sculptor Peter Naylor and is sited next to the River Thame. The design required a Resin Bound paved surround in a wave pattern using two contrasting colours that would be aesthetically pleasing but not detract from the sculpture.

Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing in Autumn Toffee and Terracotta blends were selected and Coatech Ltd installed the pattern, segregating each coloured area with an aluminium edging strip. The BBA approved Terrabound surface is porous, low maintenance, hard wearing, smooth underfoot and wheelchair friendly, making it accessible all year round.

The new memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum was unveiled on the 1st March 2017. The ceremony began with a service and a one minute silence, followed by the flypast of three Hercules aircraft, crewed by members of 47 Squadron, based at RAF Brize Norton.

The Terrabound installation was completed in February 2017.

Horatio's Garden 2Addagrip are honoured to have been involved in the project to bring Horatio’s
Garden to the Scottish National Spinal Injuries Unit at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.

Horatio’s Garden is a charity, set up in memory of Horatio Chapelle, which creates and looks after beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres. The latest Horatio’s garden, designed by acclaimed garden designer and RHS judge, James Alexander-Sinclair, has been created at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.

Horatio'sGarden TerraboundThe garden is divided into six distinct areas including a therapy garden, a main courtyard garden brimming with colourful planting and sheltered areas, all providing a
stimulating and comforting space designed to ignite the senses and promote a sense of wellbeing. As part of the design, the pathways required a smooth, porous surface that would be welcoming, comfortable underfoot and flow seamlessly to echo the curves of the garden.

Addagrip approved contractor Resarf Flooring Ltd were appointed by Endrick Landscapes to install
BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound porous surfacing in a 3mm Chocolate Horatio'sGarden 3Buff blend to the courtyard and pathways, providing an attractive, low maintenance surface incorporating natural aggregates which will allow access to the garden all year round.

The garden can also be seen from the wards and communal rooms offering a life-affirming view for patients and visitors. The planting will encourage birds, butterflies and bees, adding a dimension of interest for patients who can be on bed rest for long periods of time.
