McDonalds, East Belfast
The Site
Situated just a stone throw away from Belfast City Airport, McDonalds at Knocknagoney becomes the first two-storey McDonalds to be built in Northern Ireland. The fast-food outlet, which is accompanied by a dual drive-thru, was developed inside the existing Tesco Car Park becoming the 30th McDonalds in the country.
The Challenge
As part of the planning of the restaurant, the client instructed Contractors Lynx Construction to come up with a solution that would not only prevent the block paved drive-thru from destabilising, but also prevent staining from foods in both this area, and on the pedestrian footways.
The Solution
Following consultation with the client, the specification for Resiblock ‘22’ was soon made. Resiblock 22 is a specialist pre-polymer urethane sealer; designed to enhance and maintain structural integrity of flexibly laid small element paving. It also prevents the erosion of jointing sand, whether that be general trafficking, pressure washing or vacuum sweeping. The block paving sealant also helps to render the modular paving joints completely impervious to water, thereby ensuring structural integrity for a long period of time.
Resiblock ‘22’ comes with the added benefit of stain protection, which was vital for the client in their aim of protecting the paving from food, drink and potential oil spills.
