SureSet Resin Systems as Manufacturers

Background


SureSet Resin Bound Permeable Paving was contracted by Masonbarn Ltd to completely revamp the outside surfaces at the famous Etihad Stadium, home to Manchester City Football Club.


The surfaces outside the Colin Bell stand see some of the world’s best players and VIP’s stride over them and they were in desperate need of a surface which was worthy of having such feet on them day in and day out.


The current surfaces were breaking up and lifting in certain areas and were painted in a road marking paint which had faded and was patchy in parts. Manchester City contacted SureSet directly for a permeable resin bound surfacing solution to their needs.


Solution


We were contracted to install 530m² of our ‘Sterling’ blend to form the main vehicular route, and a striking contrast of ‘Light Blue’ coloured recycled glass for the pedestrian routes.


The most exciting part of the project was the 2m x 2.5m² Manchester City Football Club crest which was incorporated into the surface directly outside the player’s entrance. This was entirely made up of our own coloured glass resin bound paving and was created by using MDF stencils and the pure skill of our specialist installation team.


Result


From the date the installation began it marked a historic day in the Stadium’s life. The vision is that on match days, the Coach will pull up on the ‘Sterling’ areas and the players will walk over the iconic crest, and through to the ground. The finished result looks fantastic and has drawn a huge amount of attention from fans, players and other rival clubs alike. The intricacy of the logo has left people stunned that this has been created in resin bound paving! A spokesperson for Manchester City said “There has been a huge amount of public interest with everyone taking photos of our fantastic entrance, let’s hope it looks this good on TV”.
