CORE COMMERCIAL heavy-duty gravel grids for car park
CORE COMMERCIAL heavy-duty gravel stabiliser grids were used in the construction of a car park within the grounds of a new kitchen showroom in Oxford. The area was originally specified to be porous tarmac, however the client chose to go with the gravel stabiliser due to its aesthetic appeal.
CORE COMMERCIAL was selected 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 cars.
Process
A SuDS-compliant type 3 sub-base had already been laid therefore the bedding layer could go straight on. A 2-6mm bedding layer was delivered and laid over the existing ground. After laying that, 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.
