Hanson FORMPAVE won the ‘Award for Water’ at the Sustain magazine awards earlier this year for the outstanding, environmentally friendly permeable paving design and installation at the Minehead site. The judges concluded, “Plain and simply, this entry demonstrates the market demand for practical large-scale replicability of sustainable solutions.”
Minehead regeneration project
Hanson FORMPAVE completed the installation of over 6,500sq metres of its industry-leading permeable paving AQUAFLOW as part of a multi-million pound regeneration project in Minehead, Somerset. The county council led redevelopment includes modern workspaces for business, retail opportunities, a 110-space car park and a viewing area for the new West Somerset Railway turntable.
Sustainability and protecting the environment were key issues for Somerset County council and a wide range of Hanson FORMPAVE products were specified for the project to provide environmentally friendly and economically viable paving solutions throughout the development.
