Commercial Resin Bound surface installed in Wembley

Project Overview

Oltco completed the installation of 200m² of Recycle Bound surfacing in our premium Kernow Granite blend at a commercial property situated on Oxford Street in Wembley.

Project Brief

James initiated contact with Oltco regarding a commercial development on Oxford Street requiring 200m² of Resin Bound surfacing. During consultations, we recommended our premium Recycle Bound surface, highlighting its superior characteristics and sustainability benefits specifically aligned with commercial applications.

Implementation Solution

The Oltco installation team applied 200m² of our Recycle Bound surface to a pre-prepared permeable tarmac substrate, engineered to facilitate optimal drainage properties through the resin system. The client selected our contemporary Kernow Granite blend, which harmonizes aesthetically with the architectural elements of the property. This installation repurposed approximately 120 kilograms of plastic waste (equivalent to 600 cubic decimeters of recycled material), contributing significantly to the project's sustainable building credentials.

Technical Specifications

• Surface Area: 200m²
• Product Type: Recycle Bound permeable surfacing

Sustainability Metrics

This installation contributes to BREEAM assessment criteria and supports the client's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives through measurable waste diversion from landfill and waterways. The Recycle Bound system aligns with circular economy principles prioritized in contemporary sustainable building practices.

Project Outcomes

The completed installation delivers a high-performance, aesthetically refined surface with excellent durability characteristics suitable for commercial traffic patterns. The permeable nature of the system supports responsible water management in accordance with current building regulations, while the recycled content enhances the development's sustainability profile.
