RECYFIX NC installed within car park at Fox Valley

Multiple drainage solutions for historical Fox Valley Shopping Park

Fox Valley was a redevelopment project to convert a former 28-acre steelworks site into a new retail park. The £50 million project delivered by Dransfield Properties Ltd had been carefully designed to reflect the area’s rich industrial heritage.

The Fox Valley Shopping Park has open public spaces, stores, restaurants, coffee shops and a large car park with over 500 spaces.

Key considerations helped determine the right drainage systems

Main contractors H Boot construction worked closely with HAURATON to choose a range of surface drainage systems for Fox Valley Shopping Park.

When specifying the drainage systems for the car park and public terrazzo area, HAURATON had to take into account four key elements:

RECYFIX STANDARD installed within paved terrazzo areas
Aesthetics:

The channel systems had to fit aesthetically within the sensitive design requirements of the project.

Rigorous demands:

The car park drainage system had to be able to cope with a high volume of traffic, climate changes, loads and forces and also consider pedestrian safety.

As the car park at Fox Valley would be frequently trafficked by a variety of different vehicles, RECYFIX NC was specified because of its durability. The locking system gives enormous stability to the channel system in the areas of frequently turning traffic.

It has a 10 mm heelsafe ductile iron E 600 grating and is secured to the channel with 8 bolts per metre.

Drainage systems for the public terrazzo area

Public water fountain

SLOTTED CHANNEL installed within perimeter of the fountain at Fox Valley

The SLOTTED CHANNEL was used around the perimeter of the decorative fountain. It drains any surface water from heavy rainfall and acts as a secondary system to capture any excess water from the water feature.

The grating around the fountain was supplied in stainless steel to provide resistance to chemicals used in recycled water. The grating has a discrete slotted top and offers a discreet design.

Paved terrazzo surfaces

RECYFIX STANDARD with a B 125 stainless steel mesh grating was chosen to drain the paved terrazzo surfaces. The 30 x 11 mm mesh size allows the maximum intake of surface water and gives an aesthetic finish which correlates with the surrounding public space.

”The RECYFIX products were chosen due to their durability, sustainability, ease of handling and their range of gratings and loading options for the project.”
