Above and beyond
You may recognise the photos below from recent media coverage. They are pictures of a project carried out near Chichester in the floods.
The client had devised a clever scheme to reopen an access that had been inundated by floodwater but retained the ability to let the water ultimately drain away.
44 pieces of temporary vehicle control barrier (TVCB) were positioned on the kerbline in a retaining wall function. Between these a 3-metre section was infilled with clean coarse loose stone, allowing the abating water flow to pass through it.
The trafficked surface was decked over with TUFF TRAK , ensuring a safe, firm grip for the mixed goods and passenger vehicles that needed to use it, without the risk of displacing or rutting the aggregate.
Picture care of Matt Coburn and special thanks to Eddie Mitchell.
