Tanalith E protection goes on and on Tanalith E wood preservative from Arch Timber Protection is protecting what could be the world’s longest continuous timber bench. Manufactured from locally sourced beech and pine, the new bench runs around an island park in Bulgaria. It is 1,111 metres long and can seat over 2,000 people. Uvix Impregnation pressure-treated the wood with Tanalith E, combined with the colour


additive Tanatone, before handing it on to the contractors. This protection will pre- serve the bench against the damp atmosphere and severe winters at the lakeside. Uvix stated: “Tanalith E protection was chosen by the contractors because of its quality and reputation. We knew that it could stand up to the heavy use that the bench will get in a public area.”

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.
