McDonalds Highbridge, Bristol
The Site
Situated just half a mile from Junction 22 of the M5, Oaktree Business Park is a 14.6-acre site that sits on the A38, Bristol Road. In June 2023, Somerset Council granted plans for a new McDonalds to be built on the site, following promises of around 120 jobs for the local community.
The Challenge
As with all new McDonalds restaurants, the Highbridge site utilises a Drive-Thru and a large outdoor patio area, all of which enjoys the benefits of Concrete Block Paving. With Oaktree Business Park acting as an unofficial breakpoint on the M5, it was anticipated that there would be high volumes of vehicular traffic utilising the McDonalds and its drive through.
The Solution
McDonalds have placed their trust in the Resiblock’s range of Commercial Sealers since 2020, where a trio of McDonalds sites in Scotland (Falkirk, Glasgow and Stirling) were sealed with Resiblock ‘22’, to provide joint stabilisation and paving protection to their newly installed restaurants. These sites, along with the more recently sealed East Belfast and Thirsk restaurants, have showcased the success and longevity of Resiblock being utilised for joint stabilisation under vehicular trafficking.
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.
