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.
