PL-55x11/90x4 custom-shaped and designed for emergency vehicle loading – Mayfield Par
Mayfield Park spans 6.5 acres on the banks of the River Medway and is the first new public park in in the centre of Manchester for over 100 years.
The park has a range of features that respond to the level changes throughout the site such as bridges and projecting platforms.
Mayfield Park has won praise as the standard for future urban park design. The park's commitment to sustainability, evident in its approach to material use and construction, is particularly noteworthy and shows how these values can be achieved within landscape design.
Requirement
Heel-proof gratings were required to provide a safe walking surface and to maintain the site’s post-industrial aesthetic.
Products supplied
Lang+Fulton provided its PL-55x11/90x4mm heel-proof grating for each of these areas providing the required load bearing properties and allowing for free drainage.
The grating panels were all individually sized to fit the diverse shapes of the platforms.
