Craigmillar Edinburgh
A new case study looking at the first stages in the regeneration of the Craigmillar area of Edinburgh – previously the fourth most deprived area in Scotland. Craigmillar also includes the first concrete block permeable paving to be adopted by a local authority in Scotland.
This case study of the award winning Accordia housing project in Cambridge, focuses on external surfaces. It explores the practical application of current approaches to master-planning, urban design and ‘place shaping’, discussed in Planning with Paving.
Efficient Design for Safe Construction using Precast Concrete Kerbs
Interpave has been actively involved with the Health and Safety Executive’s initiative to reduce respiratory disease. Interpave manufacturer members offer a range of kerb solutions to the HSE requirement for a hierarchical ‘AMC’ approach -
Avoid cutting Minimise cutting Control dust generation during cutting
This approach is clearly demonstrated in a Case Study which can be downloaded below.
Permeable Paving Projects – Concrete
Block Permeable Pavement Case Studies and Update
With concrete block permeable paving growing rapidly in popularity
this document considers use of the technology on a variety
of different projects. Since its publication, more examples
have also been covered in recent issues of Pave-It magazine, click
