Project Background:
In the heart of Cardiff’s central business district, the pedestrian space at Fusion Point was transformed to create a more attractive and pedestrian-friendly environment. Designed by Ayre Chamberlain Gaunt and led by Whiting Landscapes, the project aimed to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the area surrounding the Grade A office accommodation. SureSet UK Ltd, specialists in high quality resin bound paving, was selected to provide the solution, with the installation handled by SureSet’s approved Legacy Installers to ensure top tier results.

Project Details:
The renovation spanned 216m² square meters, beginning with the preparation of the existing tarmac base to meet SureSet’s exacting specifications. A 6mm Winter Pearl resin bound aggregate was chosen for its durability, elegance, and permeability, making it ideal for high traffic pedestrian zones.

Challenges:
The key challenge was integrating the new paving seamlessly into the existing urban landscape. It was critical to achieve uniformity in colour, texture, and finish to maintain the visual harmony of the space. Careful coordination was also required to minimise disruptions to pedestrian movement and nearby businesses during the installation.

Solution:
SureSet’s 6mm Winter Pearl resin bound paving was the ideal choice for this project, combining strength, aesthetic appeal, and practicality. The permeable surface ensures long-lasting durability, while its stylish finish enhances the overall look of the area. Our experienced Legacy Installers executed the project with precision, ensuring the new paving blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment and met the client’s high standards.

Outcome:
The newly refurbished pedestrian space at Fusion Point is now a striking feature of the business district. The smooth, accessible surface created by SureSet’s resin bound system not only improves pedestrian access but also adds a refined elegance to the urban landscape. The collaboration between Whiting Landscapes and SureSet Resin UK highlights the power of expert craftsmanship and innovative materials in transforming public spaces.

Conclusion:
The Fusion Point project demonstrates the impact of advanced paving solutions on urban renewal efforts. By partnering with SureSet and using our proven resin bound materials, the space was transformed into a vibrant, functional, and visually appealing area that enhances the experience for both pedestrians and visitors to the Grade A office accommodation.
