‘The Edging Company’ F


or 25 years, EverEdge have been known as ‘The Edging Company’. We have been manufacturing edging for


gardens, parks and public buildings and this edging range has been installed across the world. In more recent years, there has been a boom in demand for podium landscaping products and EverEdge have been supplying custom made steel planter walls for projects across the UK. EverEdge have a busy custom made department able to advice and quote on projects of all sizes. The attached project, an installation on a


new building in Islington, required a range of edging products from as little as 100mm to 600mm high and a mixture of curves, straight lines and corners. This Islington Square development is offering 250 residential units as well as leisure and retail facilities. EverEdge are providing steel edging and planters for private roof terraces as well as communal gardens and spaces. Green roofs and podium gardens have


become a must on new city developments. They are an excellent way to improve green


spaces in built up areas whilst providing the much needed new homes. Creating podium gardens creates a number of challenges. With our years of experience in manufacturing steel edging products, EverEdge are perfectly


placed to advise on the best way to handle these challenges.

High capacity surface water drainage for Primark Distribution Centre, Kettering


T


he Primark Distribution Centre, near Kettering was developed by London Metric Property Plc. Known


as Thunderbird 2 the £77 million facility comprises a 93,000m2


warehouse, some


5,000m² of office space and 50,000m² of hard standing with parking for 175 HGVs and 530 cars. A major earthworks operation was necessary to level the ground and create the vast plateau on which the building and hard standings were constructed. With such a large hard standing area an effective surface water drainage system was essential. Having supplied high capacity surface


water drainage channels for hard-standing areas at numerous distribution centres thorough out the UK, Hauraton were confident their RECYFIX®


HICAP® high


capacity channels would comply with the stringent specification asked for by the contractors. It was decided to drain the hard standing


area using four sizes of RECYFIX® HICAP®


– 100, 200, 300 and 680 because of their overall volume capacities. As well as straight runs of 100 and 200 channels, the 200, 300 and 680 sizes were installed in a step fall arrangement providing an enhanced water volume for these runs of 366,324 litres per metre (l/m). All the sizes supplied had fixed ductile iron, 14mm open slot inlets finished with KTL, a rust resistant coating. All 1229 metres of RECYFIX®


HICAP®


channel installed complied with loading category Class F900 (900kN). In addition some 200m of Hauraton KS 100 channel with


FASERFIX®


HEELSAFE ductile iron gratings were also installed in the site car parks requiring a loading category of Class C250 (250kN). The gratings were also specified with a KTL coating.
