Bromborough Gold Club case study

Bromborough_golf_course_terrabase_classic_resin_bound_porous_pathsBromborough Golf Club, located in part of the Leverhulme Estate on the Wirral Peninsula, has recently had a smart upgrade to its course pathways with a Terrabase Classic no-dig, resin bound, permeable surfacing solution.

Existing gravel pathways at the 100-year-old golf course in Birkenhead needed regular repair to make good potholes and replace loose stone that had migrated into the surrounding grass. The club was looking for a decorative, hard-wearing paving with no loose gravel that would require little maintenance and provide good access around the course for all. Good permeability was also important to ensure that the paths remained water free in wet weather.

Bromborough_Golf_Club 3Thelwell Flooring Ltd, an NCC Addagrip approved contractor, offered a Terrabase no-dig surfacing system to provide a long-lasting solution which could be installed with minimum disruption and without the need for an asphalt base.

The Terrabase system consists of a heavy gauge geotextile fabric and a gravel stabilised grid topped with either a Rustic or a Classic resin bound finish. The Terrabase system is installed onto a base build-up of type 3 MOT, topped with a 30mm depth of finer compacted limestone, offering fast installation with minimum groundworks.

The client was looking for a red paving option and selected a Terrabase Classic system using a Stonebound 6mm Vanstone Red aggregate blend to offer a smooth, seamless, porous finish.

Bromborough_Golf_Club 2The old paths were dug out and edged ready for the Terrabase Classic. New steps were carved into the tee bank on the 3rd hole and an extra wide golf buggy park area was created.

Work was carried out in June and July 2021 to the satisfaction of the client and Thelwell Flooring were invited back in Sept 2021 to install more Terrabase Classic areas on the course.

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.
