landscaping & external works Planning with paving
The trade association Interpave has just pub- lished two new case studies demonstrating the latest thinking on urban design, hard landscape and sustainable drainage. The first explores the external spaces at the Stirling Prize winning Accordia housing, while the second discusses how permeable paving enables water to be used as a landscape and biodiversity asset. Interpave’s Accordia case study reviews current progress on this important, part-completed project and the success of earlier phases in
use. In particular, it considers the way in which masterplanning, applied through the planning system, ensures ongoing and consistent application of good design.

Porous surfacing for Huf Haus RBS of Doncaster, an Addagrip approved contractor, recently completed the installa- tion of 7,922 metres of Rhine Gold Addaset, at a depth of 18mm, to the drive and front steps of a newly built Huf Haus in York. Addaset, a resin bound surfacing, provides a smooth, hard wearing and low maintenance porous / semi porous surface using a range of natural and recycled aggregates. The finished surface is a trowelled, seam- less, bound paving system, which is flexible
and resistant to cracking and can be applied on to asphalt and concrete or other stable substrates.

‘Superstrong’ composite timber decking a world’s first A new heavy-duty composite timber decking that could transform public walk- ways has been launched by Dura Composites. The new decking product, Dura Deck 225 HD, is stronger than any- thing else on the market, with a unique below-surface high capacity fixing system, so it is quicker to lay, safer to walk on, with-
stands greater loads and lasts far longer than conventional walkway and decking systems – composite or natural wood. Stuart Burns, director of Dura Composites, said: “Customers have been asking for a stronger decking product to replace real wood decking... So it’s ideal for high-traffic public areas such as walkways, bridges and terraces where safety and beauty are of utmost importance.”

Arch Timber balances protection and sustainability The Netherlands’ Institute for Ecology is now housed in a purpose-built timber and glass build- ing designed to the highest standards of sus- tainability and Arch Timber Protection’s fire retardants are safely protecting the building and staff at the site. Timber is a crucial and significant element in the new building and thermally- modified Plato Wood, produced from sustainable spruce, has been used for external beams and cladding. These components are protected using Arch’s Non-Com Exterior. Interior Plato Wood
spruce timbers used in the public areas of the building are also fire retardant- protected with Arch’s Dricon, a water-based fire retardant treatment.
