Grange Farm Centre is a 90 acre site that provides the local community with leisure, sporting, recreational and educational facilities.
Utilising natural aggregates supplied by Long Rake Spar that fit with the environmental considerations of Grange Farm, SureSet laid 291m² of their 6mm Barley Beach.
Grange Farm is an eco-friendly building which received the Green Apple Environment Award for Building and Construction, ‘Environmental Education Projects’ in 2011.
Unfortunately three years later, the resin bound surface initially installed had failed with large areas suffering from such extreme stone loss that in some cases the asphalt base was exposed.
They needed to replace it with a superior product so in June 2016 Grange Farm contacted SureSet, who visited the site to investigate and provide a report with their recommendations.
SureSet supplanted the previous paving and addressed the issue of the drains and manhole covers by replacing them with inset versions into which resin bound paving was laid – camouflaging the ugly drains and delivering a smooth accessible surface.
The beautiful golden aggregates from Long Rake blend well with the natural surroundings and help brighten up the whole area.
SureSet delivered their customer with what they should have had in the beginning – a smooth, durable, accessible, attractive finish.
