CTS Bridges have recently completed schemes at Aberfeldy Village, Tower Hamlets and Kidbrook Village, Lewisham where ecological concerns have driven the landscaping. Timber was the natural choice of material for our footbridges and landscape structures to complement this philosophy and is also an optimum solution for shorter or multi span bridges as it is durable, low maintenance and economical.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ekki Hardwood Bridges and Boardwalks at Aberfeldy Village, Tower Hamlets\\<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The new Aberfeldy Village in Tower Hamlets is a \u00a3250m redevelopment project which will be delivered in 6 phases incorporating different buildings with their own identity to link community and urban spaces.<\/p>\n The scheme incorporates a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) of green landscaped buffer rainwater runoff from the new development. These systems mimic natural drainage solutions allowing water to be stored, drain slowly and allow sediments to settle out to ensure existing drainage systems are not overwhelmed by further developments. CTS supplied the bridges and boardwalks in Ekki hardwood timber with FSC accreditation. The Ekki timber is classed as extremely durable and has a service life in excess of 30 years. The deck boards on the bridges and boardwalks incorporate CTS\u2019s Hi-Grip Excel non-slip inserts that provide a hard wearing slip resistant surface that retains the natural feature of the timber.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nIn this scheme feature swales were integrated within the hard landscaping and lined with gravels and vegetation
\nCTS were commissioned to provide a number of boardwalk and bridge structures to aesthetically enhance and create pedestrian routes across these areas.<\/p>\n
