Christchurch Gardens, London

ChristchurchGardens_TerrabaseRustic2bIn late 2018 Westminster City Council commissioned WSP & Reardonsmith Landscape Architects to develop the design proposals for the Public Realm Improvements on Christchurch Gardens, a green space in Westminster, London.

Works on the £3.3Million scheme commenced in October 2019 with extensive remodelling of the park to provide open and inviting footpaths into the gardens, new lawns, extensive planting and seating to offer a flexible open space that reflects the site’s historical background.

ChristchurchGardens_TerrabaseRustic 1The garden is the site of the former burial ground for St Margaret Westminster dating from 1625 and Christ Church Westminster which was destroyed in the Blitz in 1941, leaving the site an open space until it was converted into a public garden in 1950.

Working with main contractor F M Conway, Addagrip approved contractor Street Tree was responsible for sourcing and planting large specimen trees, provision of 750 tonnes of soils and the installation of the 475m of Terrabase Rustic Resin Bound permeable paving that runs throughout the site.

ChristchurchGardensLondon-5Due to the existing location of large London Plane trees along the perimeter of the garden and a desire to avoid compromising the trees, porous Terrabase Rustic in a 6-10mm Oak blend was installed onto a porous asphalt with Cellweb base. This provided a solution to allow site traffic access to these routes throughout the construction phase.

The new resin bound surface provides decorative natural aggregate porous pathways with a rustic feel in keeping with this inviting green space in the heart of the city.

Installation was completed in September 2020.

Resin bound Terrabound provides new multi-purpose path for pocket park improvements near Wandsworth.

Bramford Gardens 11

As part of the plan to upgrade Bramford Gardens, a pocket park near Wandsworth, improvements included reconstruction of the existing separate cycle path and foot path to provide a new shared pedestrian cycle path route, together with repainting of existing railings, planting trees, turfing, renewing signs and installing new benches.

Addagrip approved contractor O’Hara Bros Ltd dug up the existing cycle route and pedestrian path to create a wider shared route and installed 200m2 of BBA approved Terrabound Resin Bound surfacing in a 10mm Trent blend. The new surface is porous, seamless and has revitalised the park with a decorative yet low maintenance paving. The challenge was working in a busy public place, maintaining the safety of the public and keeping work areas to a minimum to make the useable area as accessible to the public as possible during the installation. Park gate access and parking required the use of smaller machinery and storage points outside of the working area.

Wandsworth Borough Council were pleased with the new low maintenance, multi-function surface.

Work was completed 26th June 2019 in line with the 2 week programme agreed with the client.

Bracklesham-Boat-Club-pathways-6aAddagrip approved contractor L A Kattenhorn and Partners Ltd was asked to install a decorative paving for the Boat Club at Bracklesham Caravan and Boat Club at Bracklesham Bay, West Sussex. The client was looking for a decorative hard wearing surface that would suit the coastal location and climate.  BBA approved Addabound, with recycled content, was selected in a warm Sesame blend to create a seaside feel and complement the coastal blue coloured wooden Boat Club building.

Over 150sqm of Addabound paving was installed to the perimeter pathway and entrance area to create a seamless walkway with good slip resistance that could be easily maintained. 

The surfacing installation was completed at the beginning of March 2020.

BatterseaOHara IMG_0308Battersea Park, London
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.

 

‘No-dig’ At Leader’s Gardens

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.

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.
