Marshalls natural stone to transform Chepstow
Marshalls plc is supplying a £500,000 order for natural stone paving, steps, walling, tactile paving and bespoke stone masonry for Phase 2 of the landscape transformation of central Chepstow.
The new Priora 60mm depth size was developed by Marshalls to enable hard landscaped areas not requiring a depth of 80mm, due to traffic type and numbers, to be value engineered with the new size.
The new permeable block would be ideally suited for new or regeneration projects such as Home Zone or new housing developments.
Marshalls Priora is an innovative block paving system, coupled to a specific design methodology and sub-base specifications.
Together, these contribute to a SUDS solution, which allows surface water to be controlled at source, draining directly into the sub-base.
This reduces the requirement for additional drainage systems whilst at the same time recharging the natural groundwater, creating a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to the management of surface water run-off.
Priora blocks are produced in a standard 200 x 100mm module compatible with Marshalls Keyblok; however, the unique shape creates voids, which allows the surface water to pass through the pavement.
The interlocking joint provides stability through friction to the paved surface without the use of joint filling sand.
Marshalls pioneers product, service and technical excellence and is committed to delivering quality throughout the supply chain from inception to completion.
