Gravel stabilisers for driveway requiring disabled access
CORE DRIVE 50-35 gravel stabilisation grids were used in the refurbishment of a private client's driveway that needed to withstand the use of larger vehicles, most notably ambulances. A DDA-compliant surface had to be laid due to the client’s disability, teamed with an application that could combat waterlogging caused by excess water coming off

CORE DRIVE 50-35 gravel stabilisation grids were used in the refurbishment of a private client's driveway that needed to withstand the use of larger vehicles, most notably ambulances. A DDA-compliant surface had to be laid due to the client’s disability, teamed with an application that could combat waterlogging caused by excess water coming off the adjacent farmer’s field.
Solution
Concrete edgings were installed on the sides of the driveway after the area had been scraped back to level the ground. Instead of digging 150mm to install a sub-base, the sub-base was laid over the existing ground level to lift it above the water table and away from the excess water that was waterlogging the driveway from the farmer's field. Once ready, CORE DRIVE 50-35 grids were laid and filled with a 10mm flint.
