Hard landscaping specialists,
Bituchem has completed the first
application of its advanced Natratex
Cotswold Porous material at the
recently redeveloped Royal William
Yard in Plymouth. Approximately
2000sq.m of the porous material
was applied to the ‘secret garden’
car park, giving both a practical and
aesthetically pleasing finish to the site.
The Natratex Cotswold Porous
material is particularly suitable for
applications on sites with preservation
restrictions, due to the lack of deep
earth work needed. This also makes
the application and maintenance
of the material significantly easier
than other infiltration systems. The
application does not require any
additional drainage systems which
reduces the overall time and cost of
the project.
Bituchem re-designed its popular
Natratex Cotswold material to
replicate natural infiltration methods,
in response to the demand for
Sustainable Drainage Systems
(SuDS). The asphalt material is laid
on a porous receiving layer and has
an open structure to allow water to
permeate through the surface into
the ground and eventually finding
its way to a natural water source.
The material has been designed to
remove the need for conventional
drainage systems, thus eliminating the
likelihood of blocked drains and water
contamination.
The new car park at the Royal
William Yard is just one part of the
redevelopment of the Plymouth
landmark led by developers, Urban
Splash. The project has been taking
place for a number of years and has
introduced a range of commercial,
residential and leisure areas, including
a large variety of restaurants, making
it the perfect socialising environment
for locals and tourists.
