Watford Junction – Case Study

Watford Junction benefits from exceptional Brett paving solution

Project: Watford Junction
Client: London Midland
Product: Piatto Paving/Omega Paving/Kassel Kerb
Size: 1550m²

Brett Landscaping has underlined its ability to bring exceptional functionality and aesthetics to commercial landscaping installations with a 1,500m² project to upgrade the passenger interchange at Watford Junction Station, using its Piatto modular paving range.

Brett Piatto modular paving in grey-toned shades of Silver Granite, Dark Granite and Dark Basalt – was chosen by the station’s operating company. London Midland, as an alternative granite aggregate solution that would combine striking aesthetics with outstanding durability.

Brett enhanced this choice by recommending the integration of our Omega block paving to complement the bus docking areas station’s contemporary stainless steel street furniture. The large pedestrian area now blends seamlessly into the Kassel bus docking kerbs, and has been sealed using Resiblock Eco for simplified cleaning, saving operational maintenance costs.

Richard Walklate, the Site Manager for the project main contractor J Murphy & Sons, explained the extensive involvement of Brett Landscaping: “We’d initially commissioned Brett only to supply the Kassel bus docking kerbs for the remodelling works. However, Brett convinced us that they could add value by taking on project management for all of the site’s paving requirements.

We realised that the Brett solution was one that would not only enhance the proposed aesthetics, but better meet London Midland’s requirement of using block paving to provide a visual guide for pedestrian and vehicular traffic.”
