PP40 Total Lockout Security - Parking Area Solution
PP40 Permeable Pavers Case Study - Braintree, Essex
Project: Additional Parking Area
Location: Braintree, Essex.
Products: PP40 Permeable Pavers.
Issue:
Tim from Total Lockout Security needed an additional parking area for his pickup truck. The new parking space had to be cost-effective, require minimal maintenance, and withstand year-round usage while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Solution:
To meet these requirements, PP40 Permeable Pavers with a gravel fill were selected. The installation process included:
- Laying a porous sub-base on top of a non-woven geotextile membrane to provide stability and drainage.
- Adding another geotextile layer beneath the PP40 plastic permeable pavers to enhance filtration.
- Laying the PP40 pavers on a sandy bedding layer to ensure even distribution and support.
- Filling the permeable pavers with gravel for a durable and visually appealing surface.
- Confined the parking area with brick kerbs for a clean and structured finish.
Benefit:
The completed parking area offers multiple advantages:
- Year-round usability: The durable construction supports various vehicle types without deterioration.
- Effective drainage: The open-cell structure of the interlocking permeable pavers allows rainwater to filter through into the sub-base, preventing puddles and waterlogging.
- Low maintenance: The gravel-filled surface requires minimal upkeep compared to traditional paved driveways.
- Aesthetic appeal: The solution provides a clean and professional look that enhances the property.
This successful installation delivered a practical, attractive, and sustainable parking solution for Total Lockout Security, meeting all functional and visual expectations.
