PERFO Permeable Car Parking
Hockley Woods
Rochford, Essex, UK
Installed: Oct 2012
Client: Rochford District Council
Background:
PERFO-AK (Anchor) tiles used to provide a permeable parking area.
The PERFO-AK tiles were compacted into a layer of crushed stone (granite) which was prepared on top of the original sub-base which had been levelled.
PERFO-AK tiles were used to upgrade a badly worn and pot holed gravel car park to provide a smart looking porous parking area.
