Urban planning is becoming more ambitious, which is why we design 'motherboard' systems to provide a foundation for the most innovative or architectural designs. This means that rainwater captured on a roof can be stored and used for irrigating surrounding green spaces or even a sports pitch. Check out our website to find out more about our sustainable drainage systems.

With space at a premium in the urban environment, it is essential that we utilise what little space is left. Rooftops are a large forgotten asset with massive potential, we believe a sports facility can be the perfect use of rooftop space.

Our latest prestigious project, is constructing a two lane rooftop running track on top of the New Bracken House building, located across the road from St Paul's Cathedral, London.
Here's the clever part....
We already manufactured the sub-base of the running track, replicating it at our head offices in Blackburn to speed up installation time on site. The stainless steel edges are all pre-fixed to the internal and external radius units, identical to what is required on site. We calculated the gaps required between each unit, and installed wedges to create the perfect radius on both the inner and outer edges of the track. The same again with each intermediate sub-base replacement unit. All is going well so far, regardless of the cold weather! Follow us on twitter for more updates.
