Resin Bound Pathways
NT Killingley were approached by Bermar Building Contractors on behalf of Bradford University to prepare and re-surface the footpaths adjacent to Horton Building A-Wing. The customer's requirements were for a visually pleasing, hard wearing and low maintenance surface that was also suitable for heavy footfall and was accessible to wheelchairs. A Resin Bound Surface System was chosen to overlay the existing tarmac footpath using a UV stable Polyurethane Resin and mixed with a 2-5mm Amber Gold aggregate. NT Killingley advised the client that due to the condition existing pathway it was deemed unsuitable and required extensive preparation including the removal of old resin and tarmac material. A suitable sub-base and a 50mm tarmacadam surface was laid in preparation of a 18mm Resin Bound mix. A total area of 300sqm of Resin Bound surfacing was installed during 2 shifts to minimise disruption to the day to day operation of the campus The Amber Gold aggregate perfectly complements the visual style of the university buildings and provides an aesthetically pleasing finish that has created a natural looking pedestrian walkway adjacent to a green space.

Resin Bonded Driveway
A newly renovated country house in Derbyshire needed a durable and aesthetically pleasing driveway. The customer's requirements meant that it needed to complement the house and have a textured finish to accommodate a collection of supercars whilst providing a hard wearing and low maintenance surface that was also suitable for equestrian uses. A Resin Bonded Surface System was chosen to overlay the existing tarmac driveway using an odourless Polyurethane Resin dressed with a 1-3mm Golden Gravel. The Resin Bonded system eliminated the requirements to excavate the existing surface saving both money and time and therefore minimising disruption to the client The Golden Gravel aggregate perfectly complements the local stone used in the construction of the house and lends itself well to the natural surroundings. In addition to its appearance, the resin bonded driveway has delivered the practical benefits that the customer required: a textured puddle free and supercar friendly finish that will deliver long-life performance with virtually zero maintenance. The finish has also been proven to be comfortable underfoot for the customer's horses. The owner was thoroughly impressed with the quality of work and the overall aesthetic appearance.
