Contracted by TN Gilmartin on behalf of Fife Council, the project aimed to create safe, accessible footpaths that wind through the forest and alongside the river, enhancing the park’s natural beauty and usability while prioritizing eco-friendly practices.

Riverside Park is a picturesque area featuring a mix of wooded paths and riverside trails. The client sought a durable and visually appealing surfacing solution that would not only provide safety but also blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment. The Trailflex surfacing in Ruby was chosen for its aesthetic appeal, functional benefits, and commitment to sustainability.

The installation team faced challenges in certain areas due to the steep drop-off at the edges of the pathways leading to the river. However, our skilled professionals managed to complete the installation without any issues, ensuring that all paths were laid to the highest standards.

Eco-Friendly Credentials of Trailflex

Sustainable Materials: Trailflex is manufactured using eco-friendly materials, minimizing environmental impact. This commitment to sustainability aligns with modern construction practices and contributes to the overall health of the ecosystem.
Permeability and Natural Drainage: One of the standout features of Trailflex is its permeable design. The surfacing allows rainwater to infiltrate the ground naturally, reducing runoff and minimizing the risk of flooding. This permeability not only helps maintain the park’s natural hydrology but also supports local flora and fauna by allowing water to reach the roots of plants.

Benefits of Trailflex Surfacing

Safety and Accessibility: Trailflex provides a stable and non-slip surface, making it ideal for footpaths in natural settings. Its design ensures that all visitors, including those with mobility challenges, can navigate the park with ease.
Aesthetic Integration: The Ruby finish of Trailflex enhances the visual appeal of Riverside Park, complementing the natural colors of the forest and river. This thoughtful design choice helps to maintain the park’s serene atmosphere.
Durability and Resilience: Designed to withstand the elements, Trailflex is highly durable, ensuring that the pathways remain in excellent condition despite heavy foot traffic and varying weather conditions.

Conclusion

The installation of Trailflex surfacing at Riverside Park represents a successful partnership between our team and Fife Council, delivering a solution that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements while prioritizing eco-friendliness. We are proud to have contributed to the enhancement of this natural space, providing safe and accessible routes for all visitors to enjoy, while also supporting sustainable practices that benefit the environment.
