Case study

Bovington Army Camp, located in Dorset, is one of the army’s primary UK tank training centres and given the extreme conditions all construction materials used at the camp, particularly surfacing materials subject to the wear, tear and impact from vehicle wheel and chain tracks, needed to be able to perform to the highest standards. This was not the case in 2003 when the concrete surface forming the tank tracks, especially at the turning points, was found to be deteriorating significantly. Clearly, this particular section of concrete needed special attention and Ultrascape materials, together with granite setts, were specified to meet the demanding conditions.
