Queensway Regeneration, Crawley

The Site

In 2018 Crawley Borough Council announced a £2.2m scheme, which will extend Queens Square’s improvements along Queensway and The Pavement, led by Crawley Borough Council is funded by Crawley Borough Council, West Sussex County Council, and the Local Growth Fund through Coast to Capital Enterprise Partnership as part of the Crawley Growth Programme. The project includes extending the new paving in Queens Square along Queensway and The Pavement, creating space for a market, larger disabled parking bays and new planting along the edge of Memorial Gardens.

 

Problem

With Block Paving being used throughout the site, the client was keen to ensure that stabilisation of the pavers was protected from both footfall and vehicular traffic expected throughout the walkways and car parking spaces at Queensway.

 

Solution

Following discussions between Resiblock and the project contractors Blakedown Landscapes, Resiblock Resiecco was specified for use throughout the paving at Queensway. Resiblock Resiecco had case history at similar high street developments including Winchester City Centre and Havelock Square in Swindon, to show that the sealer would fully protect jointing sand loss from cleaning regimes & heavy footfall traffic.  The sealer also came with the added benefits of protecting against food, drinks and chewing gum stains, which was a secondary concern of the client due to the amount of food outlets at the site.

 

Benefits

Stabilisation of the sand filled joint notwithstanding cleaning regimes and trafficking whilst imparting the following additional benefits:

  • Prevents jointing sand loss from cleaning regimes & heavy footfall
  • Significantly reduces staining by food and drink
  • Virtually eliminates residual staining by chewing gum oils
  • Inhibits the growth of weeds and grass in joints
  • Environmentally friendly – solvent free
