Vauquiedor Farm

Gridforce Case Study

Island Construction, based in Guernsey have just successfully installed their first 640m2 gf40 Gridforce. Contact John Wild on 07781 100221 or click here to email him.

The installation at Vauquiedor Farm was to produce additional car parking spaces for the client, was successfully completed in January of this year. John Wild commented on the product “there was a considerable saving of between 35-50% saving on the installation of gridforce against other traditional methods”.

Not only was there a big reduction in construction costs but with the project being in a valley area of the island drainage was also a consideration. Gridforce is self draining and the need for additional drainage was not required, a further saving. 20mm local gravel was installed and the product deals with the drainage immediately.

Kevin Simon the channel island distributor said “ this contract illustrates the benefits of gridforce against more traditional methods and is now becoming recognised as the future”. The gridforce managing director also made remarks about how forward thinking the Guernsey island was with regards to the environmental & climate issues we are all facing. The product is 100% recycled and the Guernsey community recognises that as a clear distinctive benefit.

This contract is just one of many successful gridforce installations carried out and our gf range can not be competed against with loadings of upto 400 tonnes/m2. Our case studies are now being recognised. With the ever difficult market conditions gridforce is a cost viable alternative solution to additional car parking amongst other uses.
