The
granite paving through the Peace Gardens in Sheffield has been refurbished for
Sheffield City Council using GftK's vdw 850 Paving Joint Mortar from NCC
Streetscape.
The
highly durable granite was becoming loose and subject to damage due to the far
less durable cement based jointing mortars used originally and for earlier
repairs.
Whilst
‘traditional’ these are all highly sensitive to water, mixing and exposure to
frost resulting in typical cracking and loss of strength problems.
The
Council's Engineers and their Contractor found the ideal solution was the
unique, epoxy resin bound sand based, vdw 850 Paving joint Mortar from NCC
Streetscape.
This
also enabled all of the work to be successfully completed without having to
completely close any areas of the popular commuter routes through the gardens.
