BODPAVE™ 85 – Gravel filled porous pavers for road verge protection (Leigh On Sea)

Limited commuter/visitor parking at the Leigh On Sea Railway Station caused congestion problems on the winding road to the station, which in turn caused considerable damage to the roadside verges in the form of rutting, and subsequent water puddling and general unsightly land damage.

Due to the coastal nature of the area, a sympathetic solution was required, where land usage and damage would be minimised and drainage maximised, with as little disruption as possible to the maritime environment.

BodPave™85  was specified as the best solution, extending and creating roadside verges to allow for dedicated off-road gravel parking for both cars and coaches. Adopting this technique ensured minimum disruption to the tree roots.
