Recent Project

Victorian Plexipave agent Wm. Loud (Aust) Pty Ltd has successfully transformed what can only be described as a mud heap into a fantastic, all weather play area at St Peters Primary School in the Melbourne suburb of Hoppers Crossing.

An existing sparsely grassed play area of around 800m2 was replaced with a flexible pavement surfaced with Plexipave Acrylotex.The original area was a heavily used "grassed" area which was never able to recover and re-grass due to the high volume of traffic. In moderately reactive ground conditions a 390mm total pavement with perimeter agricultural drains was constructed incorporated railway ballast, crushed rock and an asphalt wearing course. A section of perimeter concrete path and drainage works completed the project to provide a free draining multi-use play area incorporating lines for bat tennis. The Acrylotex finish provided the perfect solution to thespecification for a surface that could withstand anything that school children could throw at it, combined with an attractive finish that iseasily maintained. The end result is an area that was once a dustbowl in summer and an unusable mud heap in winter, has been transformed intoan attractive, easily maintained all season play area. For further information on Acrylotex please contact your local agent.
