Specialist surface solves puddle problem

A slip resistant, waterproof surface supplied by Ayton Products, May Gurney's specialist surfacing business, has solved a puddle problem on a footbridge used regularly by schoolchildren in West Sussex.

West Sussex County Council was seeking a solution to the problem of water accumulation on the heavily used Angmering footbridge which extends over the A259.

May Gurney, lead contractor for the council, approached Gaysha Specialist Surfaces, who has built its reputation on innovative resin paving products, to undertake the resurfacing work.

Tripave is ideal for pedestrian and traffic applications, particularly where time critical installation is a high priority.

Using the resin bound method the aggregate and resin are mixed together and then spread over a prepared base whereas with resin bonded the gravel or aggregate is scattered over the resin before it sets.

Using this combination of systems results in a cost effective, easy and quick application with excellent slip and skid resistance. It can be overlaid directly onto existing surfaces without the need for extensive preparation and is usable in as little as two hours.
