Vauquiedor Farm

Tuesday 15th June 2010

The installation at Vauquiedor Farm was to produce additional car parking spaces for the client and was successfully completed in January 2009. Island Construction Ltd commented on the product “there was a considerable saving of between 35-50% with the installation of Gridforce against other traditional methods”.

Not only was there a significant reduction in construction costs but, with the project located in a valley area of the island, drainage was also a consideration. Gridforce is self draining and, therefore, additional drainage was not required – a further saving. Local gravel was used to provide rapid and effective drainage.

Kevin Simon ,the channel island distributor commented “this contract illustrates the benefits of Gridforce against more traditional methods and is now becoming recognised as the future”. Gridforce’s Managing Director, David Belton, also commented on the proactive approach shown by the island of Guernsey with regards to the environmental and climate issues we are all facing. The product is 100% recycled and the Guernsey community recognised this as a clear and distinctive benefit.

This contract is just one of many successful installations carried out using the Gridforce range, which can economically handle permeable ground reinforcement applications from footpaths through to car parks and HGV overrun.
