Sudstech Permeable Paving at The Athletes’ Village
A unique SUDS-compliant paving system comprised of recycled car tyres is being used to boost the eco-credentials of landscaping provided at the Olympic Village. The Sudstech system is being used on 460 sq metres of pathways within the residential courtyards of the Athletes’ village.
Sudstech Boosts Eco Credentials Of Olympic Village
Landscape Architects Macfarlane Wilder, who are the appointed Landscape Architects for blocks N10 and N14, specified Sudstech for a number of reasons. The Sudstech System does not require a concrete or tarmac base, a key consideration for roof top landscaping where access for installation equipment is difficult. Use of the system also eliminates the risk of standing water or flooding – Sudstech has its own built-in rubber sub-base using recycled car tyres, with a top layer comprised of resin and aggregate. As both layers are porous and flexible, water is held within the voids within the sub-base until it is naturally absorbed back into the water table.
100% Permeable
Sudstech offers a host of other benefits making it ideal for the Olympic project, including a relatively quick installation process, easy maintenance, with no weeding required, and also cost effectiveness, with the system boasting a similar price structure to block paving.
