PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Colchester Borough Council, working in partnership with Breheny Civil Engineering Ltd and RG Carter Construction, set out to deliver a brand new 76 acre sports centre – including a state of the art leisure centre, rugby clubhouse, numerous external sport pitch facilities, along with large scale onsite parking to cope with the high demand.

KEY REQUIREMENTS:

-The council needed to create accessible parking areas, which were fully DDA compliant.

-Macadam access roads were installed, alongside our
CORE COMMERCIAL porous pavers for the parking bays our product was chosen to help reduce costs whilst also
improving the overall aesthetic.

-A green overfl ow carpark was also required, using our SuDS compliant CORE GRASS panels.

THE SOLUTION:

CORE’s market leading ground stabilisation systems were chosen to complement this high traffic sporting facility.

Our CORE COMMERCIAL gravel stabilisation grids are value engineered, yet incredibly hard wearing, with an industry leading load bearing capability – providing the aesthetics of a traditional gravel surface, with none of the pitfalls commonly associated with them.

CORE GRASS provided strong, sustainable overfl ow green parking areas, which blended in with the natural surroundings flawlessly.
