Overview

Addagrip's Addastone Plus resin bonded surfacing system was selected for the new walkways at the iconic Glasgow Science Centre, a family visitor attraction located in the Clyde Waterfront Regeneration area on the south bank of the River Clyde.

Requirement

The existing pathway paving was in need of revitalisation and the client wanted a natural aggregate finish that would be in keeping with the contemporary buildings, and offer a resilient surface for this busy approach to the Science Centre and IMAX theatre.

Solution

Addagrip approved contractor Resarf Flooring Ltd was invited by Luddon Construction to install an Addastone Plus resin bonded surfacing system in a 1-3mm Guyanan Bauxite finish.

The existing slabbed walkway was removed and replaced with a well-compacted AC6 surface tar on top of an AC20 base tar ready for the resin bonded finish.

The Addastone Plus scatter system offers a seamless natural aggregate finish and the selected Bauxite stone has a high PSV value to provide high skid resistance for durability and safety.

Outcome

The 600m2 installation was carried out over a period of one week and completed in September 2021.
