Constructing new access roads within an existing development whilst providing a sustainable, porous water drainage system to ensure the existing site's drainage system did not need to be altered to accommodate the additional surface water run-off from new access roads.
Morrisons supermarkets PLC have created a new store within the town centre of Kidderminster. The site was previously factory and warehouse units and lies close to two converging rivers that run through the site. The project brief was to pave part of the car park with TarmacDry and the rest of the area in conventional paving with positive drainage.
One of the earliest UK trials of a porous asphalt pavement took place on Tarmac’s Stancombe Quarry car park in 1999. This porous pavement continues to perform well both structurally and hydraulically.
