Case Study Netpave 50:
Bolton Parklands - Emergency access road

Combining an aesthetically pleasing landscape design with access facilities for heavy maintenance and emergency vehicles is a problem faced at many new developments.
 
At one, a purpose built office block for Keoghs Solicitors in Bolton, Lancashire, the solution has been provided by TDP Netpave 50.
 
The landscape plans for the area called for a 3m wide access route around the office block with a sloped ramp to provide regular access for cherry pickers needed for window cleaning and roof work, as well as providing access for emergency service vehicles should they be required.
 
Although the route remains untouched for much of the time, it had to be designed to withstand the weight of both the cherry pickers and larger emergency vehicles. Netpave 50 was selected as the ideal product to combine the natural turf finish with the strength required. Over 800 square metres of TDP Netpave 50 was used and the project was completed within budget.
 
Once laid, TDP Netpave 50 paver units can be filled either with soil/grass, or with gravel. At Keoghs the cellular structure was filled with soil, and washed turf laid over the top.
 
“We regularly have heavy cherry pickers on the site,” said Mark Shuttleworth, Keoghs Facilities Co-ordinator. “Compared to the damage I would expect to see without reinforcement in the turf, the area is certainly holding up well. We’ve had no problems with it.”
 
TDP Netpave 50 provided an aesthetically attractive grassed area around the new office block, which is capable of withstanding the weight of cherry pickers and emergency vehicles whenever access is required.
