Project Description
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park attraction at Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire is the largest of its kind in Europe, providing the only place to see Barbara Hepworth’s The Family of Man in its entirety alongside a significant collection of sculpture, including bronzes by Henry Moore, and site-specific works by Andy Goldsworthy, David Nash and James Turrell.
The Challenge
There was insufficient parking at the Country Park and the site’s grassed overflow areas were uneven, prone to rutting, loss of traction and localised flooding. The site was extremely wet, sloping and badly drained.
The Solution
ABG were able to design and supply a robust construction profile employing their Geogrids, Geotextiles and Deckdrain as a cost effective, highly efficient SuDS drainage system in conjunction with the free-draining surface of Sudspave. The YSP development team were extremely pleased that the access and parking issues for the 150,000 vehicles that visit the attraction each year have been resolved, making it easier for visitors to park and explore the 500 acre park.
The ABG Service
ABG design and product supply to provide an additional 180 car parking spaces.
