GMI Construction Pedestrian Access

Client: GMI Construction

Contractor: South Yorkshire Tarmacadam Contractors

Location: Carlton Industrial Estate, Barnsley

Value of project: £40,000

Duration: 3 days

Completion: July 2008

Project Brief:

After a new business unit with offices was built in Carlton Industrial Estate, the client, GMI Construction, expressed a need for a clear pedestrian access which is also aesthetically pleasing. A skirting area for the business unit was also required, to provide a clear boundary between the fabric of the building and the rest of the business park.

Tarmac’s Solution:

In response to the brief set down by GMI Construction, Tarmac developed a 25mm thick, clear pedestrian walkway that gave office workers a safe place to walk to and from their workplace, negating the risk of accidents with motorists in the nearby car park.

White Mastertint was specified to develop and mark out a distinctive pathway. The contrast between the asphalt provided a clear direction and divide for pedestrians. It also provided a clear boundary between the fabric of the building and surrounding walkways.

Tarmac supplied 65 tonnes of White Mastertint to provide the effective demarcation of the pedestrian area which measured no more than 1.5 metres in width.

With the project taking place inside a newly built business park, it was important to create an aesthetically pleasing product, which was specifically asked for by the client. Selecting an easy to lay, hard wearing and attractive surface was of prime importance. Laid on the existing pathway, the full depth White Mastertint
created a safe and attractive pedestrian area that will serve the business park for many years to come.
