PERFO Permeable Car Parking

Shoeburyness Railway Station

Shoeburyness, Essex, UK

Installed: May 2011

Client: Railserve

Background:

PERFO AK Anchor tiles used to provide a permeable parking area at a railway station. PERFO tiles compacted into a gravel layer with a prepared sub-base.

PERFO tiles were used as part of a solution to provide a permeable parking surface in a an area subject to a TPO. (Tree preservation order)

A gravel base requiring minimal excavation enabled the preservation of tree roots while maintaining natural drainage of the parking area.
