Seamless surfacing for pathways at Battersea Park
Over 800m² of Addagrips Terrabase
Classic Resin Bound porous surfacing
was installed to rejuvenate the
pathways in Battersea Park on the
banks of the River Thames, London.
Addagrip was contacted by the client
Barhale Ltd regarding the resurfacing
of existing pathways in the Grade II
listed, 200-acre urban green space in
the London Borough of Wandsworth.
The requirement was for overlay of
existing pedestrian walkways with a
smooth, low maintenance, seamless
finish in a colour similar to adjacent
paths.
A special blend of aggregates was
required which Addagrip named
‘Battersea’. The natural stone that
helped create this bespoke resin
bound colour was supplied by Long
Rake Spar and was installed with
their Terrabase system as a Terrabase
Classic paving.
Long Rake have a large offering of
specialist dried aggregate granules
that are perfect for use in resin bound
paving.
The initial phase of the pathway
resurfacing was carried out in June
2018 by Addagrip approved contractor
Total Protection Ltd who installed
a total of 450m2 of the Terrabase
Classic.
A further 430m2 of the resin bound
surfacing was installed in a different
area of the park by Addagrip approved
contractor O'Hara Bros Surfacing
Ltd in September 2018. The finished
surface offers a practical, porous
paving option suitable for all weather
access to this busy park and the
bespoke colour blend provides a great
match to the adjacent surfacing.

to hear that their stone has been used
