GR14 Grass Parking Case Study - Congregational Church, Long Stratton
Project: More car parking required for Congregational Church.
Location: Long Stratton, Norfolk.
Products: GR14 Grass Reinforcement Mesh.
Issue:
The Congregational Church in Long Stratton approached Graham Higlett of Anglia Micro Plant about the possibility of a reinforced parking solution to their grass field behind the Church. The field is used as an overflow carpark throughout the year. Most of the time they experience no problems, however during periods of prolonged rain and the winter months when the grass is wet, cars were causing damage to grass.
Solution & Benefits:
The solution was to use GR14 Grass Reinforcement Mesh for an area 350m² in size. The field was flat and the grass well established, so very little preparation work was required. Prior to laying the GR14 Mesh Anglia Micro Plant installed a drainage channel to improve water run-off and the GR14 mesh was laid directly onto the existing grass then pinned to the ground.
The entire installation took Anglia Micro Plant two days. As the Mesh was laid in January, the field will now be left unused for the next few months for the grass to grow though and bond to the mesh. Once the grass regrows fully, the mesh will become virtually invisible, and the new parking area will be ready to use in Spring.
The customer now has a reinforced grass overflow car park that they can use as needed at the weekends throughout the year. The GR14 grass reinforcement mesh was installed at a fraction of the cost compared to installing hardstanding car parking and caused minimal disturbance. The installation also complies with SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems)
