When the RSPB created a 500m flat (ground level) and raised boardwalk at its Ham Wall Reserve Visitor Centre in Somerset, It chose recycled plastic for its suitability in a wetland environment, where structural decay and leaching are major concerns.
Location: Somerset
The facilities are used by the blind, less able and wheelchair visitors. The recycled plastic from Centriforce with its unique roughened surface provides a safe, slip resistant decking. Handrails can also be extruded in a smooth finish so that they do chaff the skin.
"We are very please with this safe, secure and economic installation" Sally Mills, RSPB
