Overview
Addagrip's BBA-approved Addaset resin bound permeable surfacing system was installed at the award-winning Eco Village in St Fagans, Cardiff.
Addagrip approved contractor Thortech Ltd worked with LivEco, leading exponents of ecological and low-energy housebuilding, refurbishments, and retrofits, on the new development named as ‘Great House Farm’.
Surfacing requirements
In keeping with the requirement for high-quality materials, the Thortech team installed BBA-approved Addaset resin bound surfacing to create smooth, decorative, hardwearing, permeable pathways and access roads across the village.
A total of 325m2 of a 6mm blend New Scandinavian Pearl was installed for Phase 1 of the project to provide a stunning natural aggregate finish with excellent porosity.
The Phase 1 resin bound surfacing installation was completed in January 2023.
The Addaset resin bound system also carries a BRE Environmental Product Declaration.
Comments
The Welsh Housing Minister Rebecca Evans visited the homes and commented:
“The development showcases how developers can go over and above what is required to deliver new homes here in Wales which are as sustainable and ecologically sound as possible”.
