Context

Peterborough City Council asked Addagrip Terraco to install a test area of Addaflex-R recycled rubber and aggregate surfacing for an outdoor seating area at their premises.

The Council was interested in using the recycled rubber-based product with a high aggregate-to-rubber ratio to provide a decorative surfacing finish with porosity and flexibility, and wanted to trial it for potential use on highway maintenance schemes, highway improvement schemes and developer-led highway works.

About Addaflex-R

Part of the appeal of Addaflex-R was that this system can be installed with minimum digging onto a compacted MOT Type 3 base, so it was perfect for a grassed area by the car park that the Council was transforming into a seating area.

A bespoke blend was created for the Council using 75% selected aggregate and 25% recycled rubber to provide a decorative, low-maintenance, seamless surface ready to take the new bench.

Testimonial

"We were very pleased with the workmanship, quality of the product and the final appearance of the area. Whilst it is early day's, the product appears to be very robust and hard wearing with no picking out. It's also worth mentioning, the team laying the product were helpful, cheerful, professional, and kept the site safe, clean and tidy whilst working adjacent to a busy car park."
