This past year has been one of significant expansion, sustainability initiatives, community engagement, and product innovation, all underpinned by the invaluable support of our team, partners, and contractors.

Welcoming Our New Team Members

This year, we were thrilled to welcome new talents to our team. Ben, as our Director of Sales and Marketing, has brought a dynamic approach to our sales and marketing strategies. Jamie and Lee, joining as Area Sales Managers, have significantly enhanced our client engagement across regions. Bertie, in his role as Marketing Executive, has injected creativity into our marketing initiatives, while Karen in Accounts has streamlined our financial operations with great efficiency. Glenn, our new addition in the Quotes department, has been pivotal in providing prompt and precise quotations to our clients. Each member has been instrumental in driving Addagrip Terraco’s growth.

Making Excellence More Accessible

In a landmark decision, we’ve reduced prices across our entire range, making our high-quality products more accessible to a wider audience. This move underscores our commitment to providing top-tier surfacing solutions at competitive prices.

Commitment to Sustainability: Electric Fleet and Eco-Friendly Products

Our dedication to sustainability took a significant leap in 2023. Transitioning to an electric car fleet marked a major step in reducing our environmental impact. Additionally, our continuous focus on developing sustainable products has further solidified our standing as a leader in eco-friendly surfacing solutions.

Giving Back: A Charitable Project in Devon

This year also saw us giving back to the community through a heartfelt project in Devon. We transformed the driveway and backyard of a family with a disabled son using our Stonebound Castle Grey product. This project was not just about aesthetic improvement but making a real difference in the lives of the family, showcasing the impact of our work beyond business.

A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Partners and Contractors

Within the sphere of contemporary landscape design, the twin pillars of functionality and aesthetics remain ever crucial. For professionals within the architectural and building industries, the need for meticulously executed installations and sustainable materials is not merely a preference—it’s a standard. With this ethos, Addagrip Terraco embarked on a significant charitable project in September 2023, underscoring the imperative of quality in Resin Driveway and Pathway installations.

The Initial Challenge:

The project began with a rather problematic site: a subpar Resin Driveway and Pathway installation. The evident shortcomings and lacklustre execution posed considerable functional issues, detracting from the property’s utility and visual charm. For those who champion excellence, this was a case that demanded immediate and thorough rectification.

The Implemented Solution:

Determined to restore the site to its rightful standard, Addagrip Terraco took the reins. The task was to methodically dismantle the existing structures, dispose of the waste in an environmentally-conscious manner, and establish a superior Resin Driveway and Pathway in line with the rigorous and aesthetic criteria of today’s architectural standards.

Collaborative Contributions:

  1. JHB Contractors:

A pivotal role in the project’s success was played by JHB Contractors. Tasked with the installation, their team ensured that the Resin Driveway and Pathway not only adhered to best practice but also satisfied the technical specifications vital for long-term resilience. A particular nod is due to Lewis from JHB, who pinpointed this project as an opportunity for positive intervention.

  1. Long Rake Spar:

The efficacy of a Resin Driveway is significantly influenced by the calibre of the aggregate. Long Rake Spar, renowned for its premium aggregates, bolstered this endeavour by supplying the materials that guarantee both operational efficiency and aesthetic excellence.

  1. Addagrip Terraco:

The role of Addagrip Terraco was central, providing the high-quality Resin pivotal for the initiative. As industry professionals can attest, the correct Resin can markedly affect sustainability, durability, and overall project performance.

 In Summary:

For architectural and building professionals, this project serves as a clear indicator of the importance of top-grade materials, specialist installation, and collaborative synergy. Through the combined expertise of JHB Contractors, Long Rake Spar, and Addagrip Terraco, this charitable endeavour stands as a beacon of what can be achieved when sector leaders unite around a shared goal.

We extend our gratitude to all parties for their unwavering dedication to maintaining the elevated standards that those in the architectural and building sectors rightly expect and value.

TERRABASE RUSTIC RESIN BOUND SURFACING REJUVENATES PATHWAYS FOR HISTORIC VILLA HÜGEL, GERMANY

Addagrip Terraco is incredibly pleased that its patented resin bound porous surfacing system Terrabase Rustic has been selected for this prestigious restoration project in the historic Villa Hügel – marking the first installation of this minimum dig product in Germany.

Villa Hügel is a 19th century mansion in Essen, Germany, set in 28 acres of parkland overlooking the River Ruhr. Built in 1873 as a residence for the Krupp family, Villa Hügel is now open to the public. It is owned by the non-profit Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation.

The redesigned south terrace of Villa Hügel, which is laid out in two levels, is based on historical plans by the architectural firm Förder-Landschaftsarchitekten and covered a total area of around 27000 m², including around 2300 m² of park paths with Terrabase Rustic resin bound permeable paving.

 

In the first construction phase, all paths on the ground level area of the upper terrace garden were restored with a water-bound natural stone path surface based on historical plans.

The same path surface was also planned for the lower second construction phase. However, due to the steep slopes of some stretches of path (some with 14-22% slopes), alternative surfaces were sought for these sections and for a main path intended for heavy vehicles. This was to alleviate concerns over washouts due to rain or damage by heavy machinery, which would have resulted in increased maintenance costs.

As few different path materials as possible needed to be used to achieve uniformity. A visual correspondence to the water-bound path surfaces was also desired. Therefore, materials had to be found that combined the design and technical requirements.

SURFACING REQUIREMENTS

 

The client required a low-maintenance product that could be driven over (by vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes), allow for easy drainage, and be suitable for steep gradients of up to 22%. The product should visually approximate a water-bound path surface, meet heritage requirements, and provide a seamless, jointless surface.

The aggregate, colour and installation quality had to meet the requirements of the overall architectural design and heritage conservation.

 

After considering various water-bound options, including a water-bound path surface with stabiliser and a resin-bound surface treatment with EP-reactive resin, the patented Addagrip Terrabase Rustic resin-bound permeable system in a 6-10 mm aggregate mix of Rustic Oak was selected and installed by Addagrip approved contractor KUTTER Spezialstraßenbau GmbH & Co. KG .

Terrabase Rustic is a low maintenance product that can be driven over, provides excellent porosity to aid drainage and is suitable for steep gradient changes. It offers a natural rustic looking finish that is seamless and provides excellent slip resistance.

Addagrip Terraco is proud to have been involved in the creation of the new Horatio’s Garden at the University Hospital, Llandough in Wales which features BBA approved Addaset resin bound permeable pathways.

The garden is part of the development of a new, purpose-built Spinal and Neurological Centre at the hospital in collaboration with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and Cardiff & Vale Health Charity, providing both specialist spinal and neuro-rehabilitation services for patients.

SURFACING REQUIREMENT

The garden was designed by award-winning Welsh designer, Sarah Price, to create a welcoming, communal space with easy access as a priority. The pathways needed to be flat, seamless and permeable to allow year-round wheelchair access and offer a natural looking aggregate surface to complement the planting scheme.

Addagrip approved contractor Thortech Ltd was invited by Knox & Wells Ltd to install 482m2 of BBA approved Addaset resin bound porous paving in a Maple Gold blend to the pathways and around the garden pavilion and greenhouse which will be the hub of growing in the garden and a place for horticultural therapy to take place.

The new seamless pathways have good slip resistance and ensure that the garden can be easily accessible from the spinal injury centre so that patients in hospital beds and wheelchairs can use the space with their friends and family or as a place of quiet sanctuary. Good permeability of the paving ensures that there is no surface water allowing all weather use. There is no loose aggregate and the paths can be easily maintained.

The installation was completed in April 2022.

Addagrip Terraco are delighted to have been involved in the first commercial installation of our latest innovative paving product, Addagrip EcoHeat Surfacing system, at the BuildKent Stadium, home of Folkestone Invicta Football Club in Kent.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Addagrip-ecoheat-folkestoneFC-1The Football Club was looking to upgrade its main terrace with a new maintenance free, porous paving that would be decorative, hard wearing and comfortable underfoot especially in the winter months. A solution was offered by Southern Construction to provide an innovative new paving product that would meet requirements and generate hot water in addition. Addagrip EcoHeat Surfacing not only offers a high quality permeable resin bound finish but combined with Ecoheat patented pipework technology provides a heat harnessing option that will enable the club to produce hot water and heat the surface with free energy to keep it clear of frost and snow.
Addagrip-EcoHeat-Surfacing---frost-free
Addagrip-EcoHeat-Surfacing--heatingwaterThe existing terrace surface was prepared and the Addagrip EcoHeat Base and EcoHeat patented pipework was installed ready for the Addagrip EcoHeat resin bound permeable surfacing finish. The client was also looking for the Club’s initials to be added to the surface. Two bespoke colour resin bound blends were selected for the finished surface and the FIFC lettering was created using a template to give a seamless paving design.

snow-free-addagrip-ecoheat-surfacingThe installation was completed by Southern Construction in February 2021 just before a spell of cold weather, including ice and snow, which enabled the club to see the new technology in action as the warming of the surface took effect. As the snow fell on the pitch, the terrace remained snow and ice free. The permeable resin bound finish also ensures that the terrace is free draining and dry underfoot for the club’s spectators. The new surfacing also enables the club to harness the energy created to help heat water for the clubhouse.

The client is delighted with the new surface which offers a ‘first of its kind’ heat generating porous paving solution that is stylish, practical, low maintenance and kinder to the planet.
