UltraScape helps to preserve historic throughfare Outdoor Engineering
UltraScape’s BS 7533 mortar paving system has been used to rejuvenate a busy high street in Wakefield as part of plans to regenerate the area.
Albion Court is an historic, well used thoroughfare which had deteriorated considerably and posed a health and safety risk to pedestrians.
Wakefield Council, in line with English Heritage conservation principals, uplifted and re-laid the 80 year old cobbles to help preserve and enhance the historic surface.
The reclaimed cobbles were bedded using UltraScape Pro-Bed HS which provided a perfect bound base for the paving elements. The fast strength gain of Pro-Bed HS allows predestrian areas to be trafficked in as little as 12 hours. It was supplied in 25kg bags and 1 tonne bulk bags and 30 tonne silos for the larger areas.
Manhole covers and gullies were reinstated using UltraScape’s Resi-Bed resinous mortar. The product provides exceptional strength and bond for areas under extreme stresses.
UltraScape Pro-Prime was applied between the paving elements and bedding mortar to help yield a bond strength compliant with BS 7533 and prevent costly failures.
UltraScape’s Flowpoint has a high fluid consistency and was ideal for grouting the varying joint widths and depths created by the cobbles. Simple to use, it was poured over the area and washed clean, filling all joints evenly, without staining.
“UltraScape’s products produced outstanding results and were easy to work with and will certainly be used on other schemes in the future” said Craig Pritchard, Wakefield Council.
