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.
