OVERVIEW
Dorrington Homes, a renowned developer in the residential sector, undertook a project to enhance the access roads within a communal residential area. The project aimed to provide durable, aesthetically pleasing access roads that align with modern sustainability standards.
This case study delves into the successful execution of a project for Dorrington Homes, involving the surfacing of a communal residential area. The chosen material, SureSet resin-bound natural aggregate in the 6mm Barley Butter blend, covered an extensive area of 335m². The project adhered to SureSet's specifications, including the meticulous preparation of the tarmac base. Long Rake Spar, a supplier partnered with SureSet, provided the necessary aggregates for the project. Installation was seamlessly carried out by SureSet Approved Legacy Installers, ensuring quality and precision throughout the process.
Challenges:
The access roads needed to withstand frequent use and varying weather conditions, necessitating a durable surfacing solution. Maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the residential area was crucial to ensure residents' satisfaction and the overall visual harmony of the neighbourhood. Adhering to SureSet's specifications for base preparation and material application was vital to guarantee the longevity and performance of the access roads.

The choice of Barley Butter complemented the surrounding environment and also provided a warm and inviting appearance to the access roads.
Execution:
The existing tarmac base was meticulously prepared according to SureSet's guidelines, ensuring a stable foundation for the resin-bound aggregate.
