Steintec

A fully permeable lightly trafficked pavement in Italian Porphyry stone setts. By using Steintec's knowledge of permeable pavement construction the client was delighted to discover a natural stone alternative to the now commonplace SuDS permeable pavement in herringbone concrete block form.

The revamp of this regional flagship shopping centre was a time-critical project. During construction, the existing retail businesses and visitor access needed to be kept to a minimum. Steintec's tuffset G was used in the preparation of the bedding, priming and jointing mortars to achieve earliest trafficking wherever possible. The proven capability of tuffset G to achieve this in ONLY 3 HOURS was used to great effect minimising disruption and inconvenience for the duration of the project.

The prestigious EIB HQ in Luxembourg City never fails to impress visitors with its expansive paved setting. Laid nearly 15 years ago the condition of the natural granite sett paving is testimony to the performance and quality of Steintec high performance mortars and the longevity they bring to bound construction pavements.

Natural stone surface in bound construction for the vehicle entrance road and main entrance pedestrian space to the new Grange University Hospital.

This project employed the BS 7533-101 Type A method of construction (rigid/bound paving over an unbound roadbase) with the use of Steintec's tuffflow permeable paving mortar as part of this SuDS scheme.The Steintec tuffflow system of permeable bedding and jointing mortars was used to construct a SuDS permeable, bound/rigid pavement. The system allows the designer to capitlize on the low maintenance, high durability of a BS structurally compliant bound/rigid public realm pavement, while avoiding the disadvantages of loose bedding and jointing aggregates used in conventional SuDS pavement construction.

The construction of more than 40,000 square metres of pedestrian and lightly trafficked surface in natural stone formed part of this major transformation of Hull City Centre.

Public realm pavement in the capital. A premium pavement in bound construction using granite slabs and setts to form the floorscape for this iconic space. Leicester Square contains restaurants and entertainment facilities attracting millions of visitors per year.

This town centre shared use surface is part of a larger traffic and infrastructure improvement scheme. Steintec's unique quick drying properties were relied upon to keep town centre disruption to a minimum.

A busy office building in Surrey with a granite paved entrance area subject to regular heavy traffic. Excellent aesthetics delivered despite the constraints of restricted budget, build-up depths and timescale.

Tamesis 1 is a busy office complex near Egham, Surrey with a granite paved entrance subject to regular heavy traffic.

The Grange University Hospital was opened ahead of schedule in November 2020 to meet the winter season pressures exacerbated by Covid-19 second wave. The largest area of hard landscape is outside the main front entrance and includes a pedestrian concourse, bicycle storage, bus stop and a one-way vehicle looped driveway, all constructed as a bound modular pavement.

An extensive hard landscape setting for the new Tottenham Hotspur Football Club stadium. The large 11,000 m2 paved area has been constructed in a combination of granite and concrete block paving units. Although the area is mainly pedestrian the brief required that the units be completely and permanently bonded into position. This was achieved using Steintec tuffbond in combination with tuffbed 2-pack Type 35 bedding mortar to achieve a minimum 2MPa adhesion between the paving units and the supporting layers. Steintec tufftop Type 40 jointing mortar was used to complete the installation.

This project combines SuDS bound permeable paving with the most up to date methods of construction in BS 7533-101 and a variety of build-ups over varying substrates including structural concrete, permeable concrete, made up ground and attenuation crates.The Steintec tuffflow system of permeable bedding and jointing mortars was used to construct a SuDS permeable, bound/rigid pavement.
