Scotland: Paving the way

With drainage being such an important consideration in any project, attending on the day will give you the opportunity to learn about various SuDS options through live demonstrations of a variety of products.

Phil Crichton, Chartered Landscape Architect, from mortar and materials supplier Steintec, will discuss some of the pitfalls, problems and ‘material’ misunderstandings common to modular pavements and how to overcome them. He will present how the demand for materials that recognise environmental concern has resulted in innovative products being developed. Phil will also be covering the new BS 7533 part 101 and the soon to be published part 102, both of which he contributed to.

This event will be invaluable for contractors and designers to develop a greater understanding of SuDS options, and learn about more environmentally friendly paving solutions.
