Stradey Castle, South Wales
Product: PERFO-AK Anchor Tiles
Supplier: PERFO Ground Reinforcement (S2T Group), 01992 522797, info@perfo.co.uk, www.perfo.co.uk
Details: Parking space at Stradey Castle was required but, due to the sensitive historic and rural setting, a tarmac or concrete car park was not desirable. Instead a solution was needed that was permeable, would blend in with the surroundings and that met with strict requirements of CADW, the Welsh government body responsible for the protection of historic sites.
The area selected for the car park was overgrown, uneven and poorly drained, but the best location option due to space constraints. This area needed to be cleared and levelled and a sub-base prepared. Prior to installation of the selected PERFO-AK Anchor Tiles, a project meeting took place, with S2T Group’s expert advising on the most appropriate installation method.
A 100mm bedding layer of 5-10mm crushed stone with added seeded soil for greening of the parking spaces was prepared, into which the PERFO-AK Anchor Tiles were embedded using appropriate compaction equipment. Finally, the surface was dressed with additional stone to enhance the overall appearance.
Feedback: The car park has met with the customer’s expectations in terms of functionality and appearance, and blends in well with the castle and its beautiful surroundings.
