ZSL Whipsnade Zoo
Project Challenges: Whipsnade Zoo, a renowned conservation leader, sought a paving solution that would meet several key criteria:
High Durability: The pathways needed to withstand the continuous foot traffic of thousands of visitors year-round.
Low Maintenance: Minimizing maintenance requirements was crucial to ensure resources remained focused on the zoo’s vital conservation initiatives.
Sustainability: Aligning with Whipsnade’s commitment to environmental responsibility, the chosen material should be eco-friendly.
Freeze-Thaw Resistance: The pavement needed to endure the harsh winter conditions experienced in the region.
Trailflex emerged as the perfect solution for Whipsnade Zoo, addressing all the project challenges. Here’s how:
Unmatched Durability: Trailflex is a unique blend of recycled vehicle tyres and a strong hybrid resin binder. This innovative composition delivers exceptional strength and resilience, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like zoo pathways.
Minimal Maintenance: Trailflex boasts exceptional low maintenance. Unlike traditional paving materials, it requires minimal cleaning, repairs, or replacements, freeing up valuable staff time and resources.
Sustainable Choice: Trailflex is a champion of sustainability and more. It utilizes recycled rubber from end-of-life vehicle tyres, reducing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy. Additionally, its permeable nature potentially contributes to Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) by allowing rainwater to infiltrate the ground and reduce stormwater runoff.
