A feature of a system, which is so flexible in design, is that, it is constantly being considered for unique and testing applications.
One such project is a vehicle showroom display area for Land Rover 4 x 4 vehicles. Constructed as an apparent assault course, the roadway would show vehicles in a number of demanding positions. To enable the vehicles to be positioned without continuously churning up grassland, GRASSCRETE was used to form the access itself.
With gradients of up to 1 in 1 and rolling cross-falls, the geometry of the project called for an “interesting” setting out exercise. The flexibility provided by the system easily achieved the effect with the upstands of the plastic formers throating the flow impact of high slump concrete on steep slopes.
