Resin bound surfacing system for Queen’s Walk

Resin bound surfacing system for Queen’s Walk

RonaDeck Resin Bound surfacing system was specified for Jubilee Walkway, a pedestrian access along the south bank of the Thames known as Queen’s Walk, created to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

As part of preparations for the Diamond Jubilee thirty five years later Lambeth Council made the decision to have the area ‘smartened up’. Part of this operation was to replace the worn resin bound surfacing on the Queen’s Walk between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges. The surfacing needed to be laid in time for the Jubilee celebrations which would attract many tourists, particularly for the Jubilee Pageant when crowds would line the banks of the Thames watching over 1,000 vessels participate in a flotilla from Battersea to Tower Bridge.

New resin bound surfacing of 2700 square metres of the 5 metre wide pathway was laid, and Sesame Gold aggregate was selected to brighten up the route.

The RonaDeck Resin Bound surfacing system was supplied as a two-component UV stable polyurethane resin, the two components were mixed with a slow speed drill and paddle before being added to a large forced action mixer containing the Sesame Gold aggregate blend. The finished surface was ready for foot traffic within four hours.

Ronadeck Resin Bound Surfacing satisfies SuDS requirements, allowing rainwater to quickly and easily drain through the porous surface, avoiding puddling. Slip testing shows risk of slip to be generally low, an important consideration for a busy walkway.

The resin bound surfacing was completed in time for the crowds to watch the Jubilee Pageant. Now the ‘golden path’ provides a route which takes tourists and commuters past many well-known buildings and locations in the capital city.
