Grasscrete
Grass Concrete Ltd is a world leader in the development and supply of 'green' construction solutions. Expert environmental engineers for over 50 years, we were committed to our environment and the creation of greenspace long before the rest.
A Reservoir Inspection identified the need to armour the ground around and between its overflow and by-wash channels at this site in Colne.
There were weight restrictions to the connecting wooden bridge, making for a difficult installation not seen by the original builder. The solution was found by temporary bridging with all materials introduced by a 360° tracked backhoe.
Grasscrete GC2 with a proven flow capability of 8 metres per second was selected for the armouring. As it is cast on site it was possible to follow the parabolic profile and the varying plan shape of the works, avoiding the potential for weakness that an alternative pre-cast method could have suffered.
Now complete, the Grasscrete is starting to take on the natural patina of the moorland landscape.

World Environment Day 5th June 🌍
For more than 50 years, we have been committed to encouraging end users and specifiers to work in harmony with our natural environment.
In recent times, we have also begun to visit the strength of our own operational sustainability, which has led to changes including switching our car fleet from diesel to hybrid and now to fully electric.

The Grassroad product is formed by an interlocking honeycomb structure, creating an ideal solution where a low visible intrusion is require but supporting occasional use.
Grassroad can be complemented by use of our dry-fix Grasskerb edge restraints; providing a low cost and visually sympathetic solution.
This is the ideal solution for fire and emergency access, or occasional heavy duty maintenance vehicle access.

Creating settings where nature and infrastructure can go hand in hand is so important to protect our environment.
No Mow May asks people to consider not cutting lawns and grass areas to allow wildlife and insects to thrive.
Our permeable paving solutions allow grass growth whilst also creating urban infrastructure such as car parks, roads and spillways.
Will you consider allowing the grass to grow for a few weeks at this important time of year?
