Completed Contract
Acorn Children's Hospice - Worcester
A Double whammy for Woodroyd. 300m² of
Safety Surfacing and 440m² of
Bound Aggregate Surfacing to Garden Paths.
7 April 2005

Part of the 300m² of Rubber Crumb Safety Surfacing.
Partly because Woodroyd was able to offer both Bound
Aggregate AND Rubber Crumb Safety Surfacing,
the company was chosen to undertake this prestigious contract in Worcester.
One section of Safety Surfacing was intended to represent a beach and sea
whilst another section emulated the sun, moon and stars.
Woodroyd use a revolutionary technique of lightly pre-coating the rubber
crumb with a special adhesive resin that enhances the bond of the main adhesive
thus creating a stronger surface at lower cost.


Part of the 440m² of Bound Aggregate Paths.
In order to provide a child and wheelchair friendly surface Woodroyd's Bound
Aggregate was chosen. Bound aggregate is produced by binding aggregate with a
special non yellowing adhesive. Installed at about 30mm thick, the path is
durable and attractive.
