A mammoth job at Twycross Zoo
Boddingtons Limited have secured their largest 'Grass Reinforcement Solutions' order to date. Twycross Zoo in Warwickshire have been supplied with 42,000m² GrassProtecta®, a heavy duty plastic grass reinforcement mesh and 6720m² of BodPave® paving grids. BodPave® was installed to provide reinforcement for their coach parking facilities and access routes. The grids were filled with an angular gravel which offered a strong reinforced naturally draininf surface. GrassProtecta® was installed to reinforce their grass car parks. Both products were part of the redevelopment at their new multi-million pound visitor centre.
Construction of the visitor centre meant that redevelopment of the car parking facilities was required whilst satisfying environmental planning restrictions in the rural environment. GrassProtecta™ and BodPave® offered the ideal SUDS 'source control' solution and a natural grassed finish, capable of catering for in excess of 450,000 visitors per year.
