ACO CivicDrain and StormBrixx specified for Oxfordshire barn conversion
ACO CIVICDRAIN AND ACO STORMBRIXX
Barn conversions are one of the most coveted homes in Britain, and have become a popular feature on the property rental site, Airbnb. Looking to attract tourists to their working farmhouse in picturesque Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, the owners contacted ACO to implement an effective water management solution for the site.
The owners of Brasenose Farmhouse, Kate and Carl Tomlinson, were looking to convert their barn into two ground floor apartments. These would be used for family when they came to visit, but also as a holiday rental property available on Airbnb. Kate and Carl currently run a smallholding and the new barn conversion would make a perfect side-project. One of the key components they had
to consider was the appropriate management of surface water run-off in the courtyard and driveway areas. So they called on the expertise of ACO Water Management to find a solution to meet the specific project requirements.
ACO assessed the area and recommended a solution that incorporated a channel drainage and attenuation and infiltration system.
ACO CivicDrain was installed at the base of a 105m2 driveway, which leads down a steep incline to the parking area of the house. The drainage channel was particularly suitable for this project due to its exceptional hydraulic capacity, effectively dealing with surface water run-off from the gradient at the base of a driveway.
What’s more, ACO CivicDrain is a C 250 system, suitable for light to medium duty traffic applications, another important factor for the barn as 4x4 vehicles are regularly used in and around the
farm. As well as being installed at the bottom of the driveway, it was also fitted along the left of the driveway where the apartments can be accessed via a pathway to the courtyard area.
ACO GROUNDGUARD restoration project at Markeaton Park in Derby
ACO GROUNDGUARD
As part of a £3.4m restoration project at Markeaton Park in Derby, ACO Water Management helped to enhance the main car park to provide a welcoming green space for current and future generations to enjoy.
In 2013, Derby City Council received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund as part of its Parks for People programme. The restoration project aimed to restore, rejuvenate and transform this historic park so it continues to remain a cherished amenity for many years to come. The project, scheduled to run over the course of five years, would involve physical enhancements as well as improvement to the park events and activities calendar. In addition to restoring the park’s
historic buildings, the money would help with creating new entrances and paths.
The main car park was considered the lynchpin in the project, as it would allow the general public, from the local area and further afield, the opportunity to visit the park, by providing modern
parking facilities for a large number of cars. 3,142 sqm of ACO’s award-winning ground reinforcement system GroundGuard was specified for the job , due to the installation savings for the
contractor, when compared to more traditional methods and the speed at which the product could be installed GroundGuard is a permeable, gravel-filled, ground reinforcement system which acts as a stabilisation tile. This ensures the gravel is held in place and helps to keep maintenance down to a minimum.
In addition, GroundGuard is over 90 percent porous and therefore achieves a highly efficient rate of surface water run-off, providing an ideal SuDs solution for car park projects. Not only is the system environmentally friendly, it is also cost-effective
as it eliminates the expense of having to install a supplementary drainage system.
The new car park will play an essential role in attracting the general public to visit the park from now and years to come.
ACO GroundGuard is suitable for a wide range of applications including paths, drives, parking areas and access routes. For more information about
ACO GroundGuard and to download the brochure,
