Project objectives
For such a high profile scheme the landscape architect required
a signature hard landscaping product to create a clean appearance,
look attractive when weathered and also be in keeping with
Bristol’s rich heritage. With more than 8,000 square metres of
public realm within the development, the product also needed to be
suitable for use applications including footways, access roads and
car parking.
Charcon solutions
Charcon’s Andover Textured block paving already has a strong and
established presence within the Bristol city area and was an
obvious choice for the Harbourside scheme. The Silver Grey colour
was chosen to provide a clean, contemporary appearance with exposed
black and white Cornish aggregate adding texture to the landscape
without creating an uneven surface. Charcon also worked closely
with the contractor, providing estimated volume detail to ensure
that the correct quantities were ordered and delivered according to
the construction programme.
“Charcon worked closely with us providing a detailed take off
using their CAD services, which led to prompt and timely delivery
of the specified product.”
