Flooding has become more common in the UK in recent years, resulting in devastation as families have had their homes, possessions and livelihoods destroyed by the turbulent conditions. Climate change is a large contributor to this growing issue which could cause more problems for the UK if private home owners, self-builders, paving contractors and housing developers do not put measures in place to combat flooding. So, what can we do? One of the answers is permeable paving – an attractive SuDS solution that functions to reduce the risk of flooding and create a more sustainable landscape.</p>
<p>While a garden offers grassed areas and soft planting where rainwater can be infiltrated, what happens the rainwater that falls on driveways or patios that have been tarmacked or concreted? It remains on the surface and forms puddles, which become larger over time.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that the vast tarmacking and concreting of ground surfaces has reduced permeability in many areas of the UK. The UK drainage and sewer system is at its maximum capacity in several areas, particularly in the regions where the highest level of flooding has been experienced over the last decade.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314762539?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="250" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314762539?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="250" class="align-right" /></a>Permeable paving is one of the best solutions to combat this problem whilst still achieving an attractive hard landscape. Tobermore’s Hydropave permeable paving range is manufactured with spacers around the edges so that when installed, rainfall can infiltrate naturally into the ground via the small 6mm gap created by the spacers on each block. For conditions that can’t accommodate this, the rainwater is held in the system and taken away at a controlled rate.</p>
<p>The Tobermore Hydropave permeable paving range requires a sub-base of 4/20mm aggregate and a quantity of 6.3-2mm of a course bedding layer, so when blocks are placed in the chosen laying pattern, they are plate vibrated, and 6.3-2mm grit is then brushed into the joints until they are completely filled.</p>
<p>The beauty of Tobermore’s Hydropave permeable paving range is that it can actually enhance the style, character and visual appearance of a home. This is because each Hydropave product is manufactured with the same aesthetic benefits of the non-permeable product equivalent; therefore style is not compromised by employing a functional SuDS solution.</p>
<p>So permeable paving offers a win-win on functionality and aesthetics – what are you waiting for?

The Academy has a long and proud history receiving its royal charter over an astonishing 500 years ago. The new school building has welcomed approximately 700 pupils into 57 modern classrooms on a campus measuring 10,518 square metres.</p><p>Designed by Keppie Design, the amazing new building is used for vocational classes. Pupils will benefit from having a hairdressing studio and construction area on site, preventing young people from travelling to separate colleges to learn these skills. The site includes a stunning 'Walk of Life' timeline of the school's history etched into the entrance path, a fitness trail around the playground featuring outdoor gym equipment, a music garden outdoor performance area with seating for 30-40 people and a school garden offering outdoor dining areas. This is in addition to two flood-lit all-weather pitches, a grass pitch and a 100m running track. The incorporation of these elements speaks volumes of the type of education facility Dumbarton Academy is, in promoting choice and for young people to fulfil their potential in whatever area they see best.</p><p>The main contractor on this scheme was the brilliant BAM Construction who used twin wall precast concrete to build the school instead of steel and brick. As well as increasing the quality of the structure this building method also saved time and enabled the school to be built in just 62 weeks! Dumbarton Academy is also on target for a BREEAM Excellence Award for promoting the use of energy saving measures such as solar panels. The building is environmentally responsible and energy efficient with the inclusion of a number of renewable technologies such as photo voltaic cells, solar / thermal hot water heating and a biomass boiler.</p><p>Tobermore's world class paving was the ideal choice of landscaping materials for the grounds of the pristine new school building. A vast area of Tobermore's Hydropave Pedesta in the warm tones of Heather and soft Natural is featured at Dumbarton. With all the versatility of Tobermore's standard and most popular paving products, Hydropave Pedesta is a permeable paving product with a rectangular profile which allows the creation of distinctive hard landscaping designs while reducing the risk of flooding and pollution. As flooding has become more common across the UK in recent years, new developments must now be designed to minimise any increased surface run-off. These innovative landscaping products from Tobermore were laid by Advance Construction.</p></div>Tobermore Pave the Way at Wembley Stadiumhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/tobermore-pave-the-way-at-wembley-stadium2014-07-21T15:00:00.000Z2014-07-21T15:00:00.000ZTobermorehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/Tobermore<div><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314225399?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314225399?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p><p>The redevelopment of Olympic Way, the main pedestrian route connecting Wembley Station and Stadium, is earning much deserved acclaim across the construction industry and has recently been shortlisted for the forthcoming New London Awards 2014. Tobermore are delighted to have been involved in this prestigious project, having supplied a vast expanse of paving products for the exceptional landscape. Designed by the very talented HTA, it is now envisaged that the redevelopment of Olympic Way will act as a catalyst for the broader regeneration of the Wembley area.</p><p>The reconstruction of Olympic Way has been sought after for several years which is why the end result has been so highly anticipated. It was back in 1999 when planning was first granted to demolish the former clothing warehouse at 5 Olympic Way and replace it with a large hotel development. This was then deemed unviable, and subsequently, HTA were approached to design a new mixed use, residential led scheme. After a year of collaboration with Brent Council, the development was presented to the GLA in 2008 where it was positively received and work officially commenced in 2009 with the brilliant Donban Construction acting as main contractor.</p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314180107?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314180107?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-full"/></a></p><p>Now complete and looking absolutely beautiful, the scheme is laid out around a central courtyard with an impressive twenty storey residential tower rising from a seven storey block of housing, a ten storey block with retail facilities and a 234 room hotel, all of which offer generous outdoor space and spectacular views of Wembley stadium.</p><p>The eye catching landscape has been created with Tobermore's fabulous Fusion block paving in sparkling Silver and Graphite and eco-friendly Hydropave Tegula 240 in muted Charcoal, and has been laid by New Generation Properties. Emulating traditional natural granite, the coarse textured surface of Fusion exposes glittering granite aggregates, creating an instant chic look. Fusion's aesthetic qualities are ideal for adding character and style to modern buildings, such as the gorgeous residential tower and the unique hotel building shown here on Olympic Way. The incorporation of Tobermore's Hydropave permeable paving range provides practical benefits by reducing the risk of flooding and pollution while allowing the creation of spectacular hard landscaping features. Tobermore's Step Flags with Delineation strips are also featured on the grounds in sophisticated Silver.
