Project Description: 

Drusillas Park have chosen PICSPAVE once again as replacement flooring for a number of pathway areas around the site. Textured imprinted paths featuring a variety of leaf designs were used on visitor pathways outside the prairie dogs, red pandas, lemurs and their brand new colobus monkey habitat. The original old pathways were replaced with PICSPAVE decorative concrete, using a combination of Textured and Reclaimed Timber imprinted effects in buff and brown colour shades.

Project Requirements: 

The themed renovation created the opportunity to improve drainage, create wider pedestrian access and provided aesthetic improvements throughout the refurbished area of the site. Drusillas Park chose PICSPAVE to suit the Zoo environment and themed areas. PICSPAVE (www.picsuk.com) is a minimum 100mm thick slab of high strength readymixed concrete used widely across the sector to handle large pedestrian and vehicular traffic volumes where longevity and simple in-house maintenance are called for. To improve safety, and minimise the risk of trips and falls, PICSPAVE removes the issue of loose slabs, blocks or flags occurring as they inevitably move over time.
