MonumentStreetAs part of The City of London public realm improvements, 245m2 of Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing was selected for the development of the area at the junction of Monument and Lower Thames Street in London.

Addagrip approved contractor Total Protection Ltd was appointed by J.B. Riney & Co Ltd to install BBA Approved Terrabound at this busy pedestrian area as part of improvements which included the addition of new planters, seating and trees.

MonumentStreet-2webThe client was looking for a seamless, porous, robust paving material to cope with the heavy footfall of pedestrian traffic. A Terrabound 6mm Peanut blend was selected to match the tones of the surrounding buildings and provide a contrast to the grey stone raised planters already in-situ.

 

MonumentStreet - 6Due to the very busy location, Total Protection operatives began works early in the morning to beat most of the ‘rush hour’ and complete the entirety of the 245m2 area in a single morning to minimise disruption.

Work was completed to schedule in April 2019 to the satisfaction of the client.

Seamless resin bound ‘minimum/no-dig’ surfacing for pathways at London Grade II listed park
Product: Terrabase Classic Resin Bound surfacing – bespoke blend

 

 

 

Over 800m2 of Terrabase Classic Resin Bound porous surfacing have been installed to rejuvenate the pathways in Battersea Park, on the banks of the River Thames, London.

Battersea TP_NewsletterAddagrip was contacted by the client Barhale Ltd regarding the resurfacing of existing pathways in the Grade II listed, 200-acre green space in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The requirement was for overlay of existing pedestrian walkways with a smooth, low maintenance, seamless finish in a colour similar to adjacent paths. Addagrip was able to develop a special blend of aggregates, creating a bespoke resin bound ‘Battersea’ colour to be installed with our Terrabase system as a Terrabase Classic paving.

Battersea 1_RCThe initial phase of the pathway resurfacing was carried out in June 2018 by Addagrip approved contractor Total Protection Ltd who installed a total of 450m2 of the Terrabase Classic.

A further 430m2 of the resin bound surfacing was installed in a different area of the park by Addagrip approved contractor O’Hara Bros Surfacing Ltd in September 2018.

 

The finished surface offers a practical, porous paving option suitable for all weather access to this busy park and the bespoke colour blend provides a great match to the adjacent surfacing.

Addagrip Case Study  Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Scotland

Installed by Addagrip approved contractor Resarf Flooring Ltd

175m2Terrabase Rustic Tweed and 1300m2 Addastone 1-3mm Autumn Gold

Completed March 2018

Client: Historic Environment Scotland

Main Contractor: MacKenzie Construction Ltd

When it comes to delivering our surfacing materials, there are some occasions when only a helicopter will do!

UrquhartCastle 1Addagrip approved contractor Resarf Flooring Ltd were contacted by Historic Environment Scotland who were looking for a suitable surfacing option to renovate the existing paved pathways at the magnificently situated Urquhart Castle on the shore of Loch Ness.

As part of a £300,000 renovation project for the castle, there was a requirement to upgrade the existing pathways and viewing area with non-slip, decorative surfacing. Historic Environment Scotland was looking for a hard wearing surfacing that would be low maintenance, offer good slip resistance and be sympathetic to the historic rural setting.

UrquhartAddastoneFollowing discussion with Resarf Flooring Ltd, Resin Bonded Addastone was selected for its heritage look, giving the appearance of loose gravel without the maintenance issues.  A 1-3mm Autumn Gold blend was chosen to brighten up the pathways and provide a hard wearing non-slip surface. For the viewing area, a no-dig patented Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound system was used to create a smooth, low maintenance porous surface.  A 6-10mm Rustic Tweed aggregate blend was selected to complement the Autumn Gold Addastone pathways and give clear delineation.

UrquhartCastle 2Resarf Flooring Ltd was appointed by main contractor MacKenzie Construction to install 1300m2 of Addastone Resin Bonded surfacing and 175m2 of Terrabase Rustic Tweed Resin Bound surfacing. Due to location of the Castle and restrictive access to the grounds, getting the material to the site was a challenge. The only way to overcome this was to use a helicopter to airlift the material into the grounds and then barrow to the areas being surfaced. The image of the Addagrip delivery suspended from the helicopter over Loch Ness was quite a sight!

path 2The result is aesthetically pleasing pathways offering improved access for visitors throughout the year.

Addagrip Terraco Case Study   Leader’s Gardens, Putney SW15

Installed by Addagrip approved contractor True Grip Ltd

250m2 Terrabase Rustic Oak

Completed December 2017                                                        

Client  Local Authority

IMG_0498Terrabase Rustic was recently selected for a ‘no-dig’ project creating new pathways across existing grassed, macadam and gravel areas in a popular park in Putney, London.

Addagrip approved contractor True Grip Ltd was approached by a local authority to provide a quote and proposal to upgrade the existing pathways and create new paths to the Leader’s Gardens, a small public park lying alongside Putney Embankment, opened in 1903.

True Grip proposed Addagrip’s Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound surfacing to be laid over the existing paths to reduce the environmental impact from an excavation and reconstruction process.

IMG_0497One of the issues to be resolved was that the tree roots could not be disturbed so a ‘no-dig’ system had to be applied around the trees and rooted areas. For these ‘no-dig’ areas True Grip specified Addagrip’s Terrabase Rustic system to be laid directly onto the existing grass and directly over the rooted areas, creating a new pathway. This meant that the trees and tree roots were not disturbed and due to the porosity of the Terrabase Rustic system, precipitation would not be reduced, irrigating the existing surface without changing the trees’ climate or environment.

IMG_0490250m2 of Terrabase Rustic Oak 6 -10mm aggregate blend was selected to provide attractive, hard wearing, natural aggregate pathways that are low maintenance, seamless and in keeping with the park setting. The porosity of the Terrabase Rustic system allows essential drainage to reach the tree roots and provide all year round access for pedestrians and wheelchair users.

The Project was a great success and the paths now provide a circular route around the Beverley Brook area.

Addagrip Case Study  Liverpool FC – Retail Store  

Installed by Addagrip approved contractor Soft Surfaces

2834m2 Terrabound Rhine Gold 6mm, 692m2 Terrabound Tuscan Pebble, 185m2 Addaset Lucerne Silver and 244m2 Addastone TP Tree Pit Silver Grey Granite

Completed July/August 2017                            Main Contractor Hawkspear Contracts Ltd

Addagrip LFC-RetailStore_1Addagrip approved contractor Soft Surfaces Ltd, was invited back to Liverpool Football Club, Anfield in July 2017 to carry out an installation of BBA approved resin bound surfacing for the Club’s brand new flagship Retail Store, due to open at the start of the season.

The store will offer fans a brand new shopping experience with exclusive product ranges, a specially-designed first-floor cafe and an increased number of payment stations to ease checkout congestion on match days.

Addagrip LFC1As part of the landscaped pedestrian area at the front of the new store, a robust, low maintenance, porous paving was required. Just under 4000m2 of Addagrip’s resin bound porous surfacing was selected in a range of colours to complement the design and to match the Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing previously installed at Liverpool Football Club’s newly expanded Main Stand in 2016.

 

Addagrip LFC_RetailStore_2Working with main contractor Hawkspear Contracts Ltd, the Soft Surfaces team installed Addagrip’s BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound porous paving in blends of 6mm Rhine Gold and 6mm Tuscan Pebble which is contrasted with BBA approved Addaset Resin bound surfacing in a 6mm Lucerne Silver.  There were also a number of new trees in the scheme which required 244m2 of silver tree pits using Addastone TP in a Silver Grey Granite 6-10mm aggregate.  The tree pit surfacing was installed at a depth of 75mm due to the expected levels of foot traffic and the tree collars backfilled with loosed aggregate to accommodate growth.

The installation was completed in time for the official opening of the new retail store on Monday 14th August 2017 and the team’s first home game of the 2017/2018 season.

Addagrip Case Study  Constitution Hill – The East-West Cycle Superhighway

Installed by Addagrip approved contractor F M Conway Ltd for Transport for London (TFL)

2,200m2 Terrabound Rhine Gold 6mm    Completed June 2017

ConstitutionHill 2aAddagrip were delighted to see their BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound porous surfacing installed at Constitution Hill to form part of the new East-West Cycle Superhighway which will run through central London from Tower Hill to Lancaster Gate.

Working for Transport for London, F M Conway Ltd were responsible for the installation of a new stretch of the cycle path that runs alongside Green Park to provide a safe route for cyclists from Buckingham Palace to Wellington Arch.

BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing was selected to provide over 2,200m2 of smooth, seamless, porous paving that would be hard wearing and provide good slip resistance for the cyclists. The natural aggregate finish in a 6mm Rhine Gold complements the location alongside Green Park and will provide a low maintenance surface in this busy area of Central London.

ConstitutionHill 3aF M Conway carried out the installation over a 9-day period working in one of the busiest tourist locations in Central London and during a period of very hot weather. They started at Wellington Arch/Commonwealth Memorial end of Constitution Hill and finished the last 185m stretch outside Buckingham palace on Friday 8th July. Whilst the crowds gathered to watch the Household Cavalry ride up Constitution Hill from Wellington Arch, St James’s, London to Buckingham Palace there was also much public interest in seeing the team’s coordinated system of installing the resin bound surface and watching the transformation as it happened.

The work was completed alongside the existing path that runs along green park. A metal edging detail was used, separating the Resin Bound surface from the hoggin surface around the existing mature trees that line the roadside.

Oliver Stutts was pleased with the result:

‘Constitution Hill was the first scheme I have personally undertaken using this product. I was very much impressed with the delivery from Addagrip.

I found it to be a high-end and quality product and I would most certainly use this material in the future on projects of this calibre.

Due to the high profile nature of the works, the finished article needed to be of a high standard and the Addagrip Terrabound material certainly provided’

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'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.

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.

Anfield aerial Virtual Planit copyAddagrip are delighted to have been involved in the completion of Liverpool Football Club’s newly expanded Main Stand at the existing Anfield ground with an installation of over 2,000m2 of Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing. With an extra 8,500 seats taking the overall capacity to around 54,000, the £260 million redevelopment of  the Liverpool Stadium main stand makes it one of the largest all seater single stands in European football. The expansion plan for Anfield has allowed the Club to increase capacity whilst remaining at its physical and spiritual home

Anfield2 copyAddagrip were approached by Planit-IE  Landscape Architects at the design stage to discuss the resin bound surfacing element of the project.  The requirement was for a decorative, hard wearing resin bound porous surface that would meet stringent performance requirements and provide low maintenance, seamless paving for the podium, concourse and stair landing areas of this premium public space around the new stadium.  Various natural aggregate blend options were considered to ensure the selected surface was in keeping with the new red bricked building and club colours.  The final choice was BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound porous surfacing in Tuscan Pebble and Rhine Gold blends which provides a seamless low maintenance surface in keeping with the overall scheme.

Anfield 3 copyAddagrip approved contractor Soft Surfaces Ltd were asked by Adana Construction, working for main contractor Carillion, to install over 2000m2 of Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing in July/August. Due to the onset of the football season all work had to be complete within a two week period with many trades competing for the same work areas, but the main challenge was getting equipment on and off the second floor podium each day via one small service lift.           With the help of some good weather, Soft Surfaces were able to install 1448m2 of 18mm Rhine Gold and 610m2 of 18mm Tuscan Pebble to the Podium, concourse and stair landings.

Principal Landscape Architect Georgina Baines is pleased with the end result:

 ‘Planit-IE worked closely with Addagrip to ensure that the finished surfacing to the concourse and podium areas met both our expectations and that of Liverpool Football Club. The chosen product, Terrabound, was required to meet rigorous performance requirements as well as achieving the correct aesthetic. The realised scheme has been met with approval from all parties including Club and fans alike and we look forward to working with Addagrip on future phases of the Stadium landscape’  (Georgina Baines, Principal Landscape Architect – Planit-IE)

Liverpool’s brand new Main Stand officially opened on 9 September 2016.
