Resin bound driveway - Weston-super-Mare

Canberra resin driveway in Weston-super-Mare

This Weston-super-Mare project replaced a mixture of worn tarmac and concrete with a continuous Canberra resin bound surface through the entrance drive, courtyard and side access.

Project summary

Location
Weston-super-Mare, Somerset
Existing surface
Worn tarmac and concrete
Base
Permeable concrete
Drainage
Channel drains beside the buildings
Finish
Canberra resin bound aggregate

Challenges

  • The driveway combined old tarmac and concrete, with failed areas, vegetation and changing levels.
  • Door thresholds, service covers, boundary edges and surface-water routes all needed to work together across the courtyard and side access.
  • The long entrance and narrower side sections needed a consistent retained edge and finish.

Solution

  • Cleared the working area, removed loose and failed material and prepared consistent levels.
  • Installed kerb edging, a block-paved entrance threshold and channel drainage where water needed a controlled route.
  • Installed a stable, free-draining permeable concrete base across the courtyard, drive and side access.
  • Laid and hand finished the Canberra resin bound surface in controlled sections around thresholds and recessed covers.
