CAR PARK AND COURT YARD INSTALLATION – CORE COMMERCIAL GRAVEL STABILISER

PROJECT BRIEF

PROVIDE A FREE DRAINING PARKING SURFACE FOR KITCHEN SHOWROOM 

Our client required a public car park within the grounds of a new kitchen showroom location in Oxford. Originally specified to be a porous tarmac, however the client chose to go with the gravel stabiliser due to the great visual aesthetic of it. The grid chosen was required as the showroom expected a variety of vehicle types using the car park which meant the grid had to be strong enough to withstand heavier traffic as well as domestic cars.

PRACTICAL SOLUTION

LAY BEDDING LAYER OVER GROUNDS AND INSTALL CORE COMMERCIAL GRID 

At the location, a SUDS compliant type 3 subbase had already been laid which meant the bedding layer could go straight on. A 2-6mm bedding layer was delivered and laid over the existing ground. After laying that, our CORE COMMERCIAL heavy-duty gravel grids were installed. Once installed, a 10mm flint was poured onto the grids and lutes were used to spread the gravel evenly over the area.

ADVANTAGES

“THE GRAVEL STABILISER WAS THE PERFECT OPTION AND SUITS THE LOCATION SO WELL” – CLIENT

CORE COMMERCIAL is a perfect solution for a car park and commercially used area. Due to the fact that the area is a space that will be visited by a people using a variety of vehicles to get there, it was important to use a grid that was strong enough to withstand any vehicle type. CORE COMMERCIAL is also a grid that is majorly advantagous due to the speed in which it can be laid, with the sheet size enabling areas of up to 600m2 to be laid within a day.
