We have now completed the upgrading of the first forty-meter section of the practice ground access roadway.
Recycled railway sleepers have been used to form a kerb edge along the roadway, which should help prevent washout of the surface and ultimately reduce wastage.
The surface has been dressed with a 100% recycled material called Ultitrec.
Ultitrec contains recycled asphalt, concrete, inert construction & demolition waste, natural and artificial aggregate, bricks, sand, ceramics and glass. Because the material has a wide range of particle sizes and shape (20mm down to dust), it packs down well and when rolled, produces a reasonably smooth surface.
The roadside bankings have been built up with excavated soil and spoil from this winter's drainage works on hole 12. It is our intention to seed these bankings in the spring with a wildflower seed mixture.
