Context

HMS laid 36 tonnes of aggregate and used 340 resin kits to deliver resin bound surfaces with a durable finish for communal gardens, cycle lanes and car parking at Victoria Point apartments in Ashford, Kent.

The cycle lane and car park demarcation feature contrasting steel grey and golden amber aggregate.

Brief

Killingley, a commercial landscaping contractor in Chesterfield, appointed HMS to lay specialist porous resin bound paving at Victoria Point, a newly completed luxury apartment complex in Ashford, Kent.

  • Circa 1000m2

  • Steel grey and golden amber aggregate

  • Right-of-way cycle lane

  • Car park demarcation

  • Courtyard areas and footpaths in communal gardens

Project detail

Prior to installation, the area needed to be fully swept and cleared of any vegetation, leaves and other rubbish to ensure the resin bound paving system, once laid, didn’t fail. As the existing car park was in situ for approximately two years and in full use by the residents of Victoria Point, this was a necessity.

A small amount of tarmac repairs also needed done before the installation could begin.

As the site was no longer in construction, HMS also facilitated the car park closure and traffic management, site cabins and mobilisation equipment, with support from the building management.

HMS was on-site for two weeks, during which time it rearranged resident parking, placed a cabin on-site by craning it in, and accepted two full artic lorries on a busy residential street.

HMS communicated with the client throughout the duration of the project, ensuring they were kept up-to-date on progress. The finer day-to-day details were managed between HMS and the building management.

Testimonial

“What’s key from a resin paving contractor, is the communication, efficiency, the workmanship and how the site is left once the job is done. HMS kept us informed at every stage of the project, which enabled us to communicate with the residents and arrange alternative parking.

“Their efficiency and workmanship ensured the job was completed in a timely manner and the team left the site clean and tidy … with fantastic communal gardens, and a stunning car park and cycle lane combination.”
