Formpave’s SUDS Helps To Meet
Guernsey’s High Water Quality Standards
Two high profile projects in Guernsey have used
Formpave’s permeable paving and Sustainable Urban
Drainage System (SUDS) to help meet the island’s high
pollution control and surface water requirements.
SUDS aims to help prevent flooding by replicating natural systems and processes to drain surface water run-off
in a controlled way. This is done through collection,
storage and cleaning before the water is slowly released
back, either into the watercourses or directly into the
ground.
It has been used at Les Beaucamps High School and a
development of 40 homes on the site of the former
Guernsey Grammar school for Boys.
Both schemes also incorporated EcoGranite, which is one
of the most sustainable permeable paving options on the
market. It contains up to 77 per cent recycled materials and
is an environmentally-friendly alternative to the use of
freshly quarried granite.Established in 1989, Formpave is
a world-leading authority on permeable paving, and is
part of Forterra (formerly Hanson Building Products).

Solispost Solar Powered Bollards
Light The Way
XTESA: Open To The World Completely,
Close Your World Hermetically
Fourteen solispost solar powered lighting bollards have
been installed at Saint Hill Manor, East Sussex, lighting
the pathway from the car park to the main building. The
solispost bollards were specified by landscape architects,
Enplan as part of improvements to the grounds at Saint
Hill.
Minimal disturbance was caused during installation at the
fine 18th century building. Needing no connection to the
grid or to a generator, the solar powered solisposts required only the installation of a sub-surface baseplate.
Solispost offers a very attractive overall cost of ownership.
Supply and installation costs are typically about 25%
lower than for conventional bollards; zero energy running
costs provide further savings.

KE is a company that is constantly investing in innovation
to be able to bring cutting edge products to the market,
able to meet the most complex demands and to anticipate
future trends. The research focuses on one hand on the
design and refined details, on the other on the selection of
materials for durability, functionality and maintenance of
aesthetical plus of the products through time.
The last born of KE is XTESA, a pergola with innovative
rolling up fabric instead of packing one. Due to this
peculiarity, XTESA is suitable to be installed even in
extreme architectural environments, achieving substantial
protrusions with contained slopes. In addition, the rolled
up fabric guarantees the maximum illumination possible
instead of the obstruction to the light of the packed fabric
of the pergola.
But that's not all! Xtesa can also be integrated with
various options such as the "light & music" kit, the LED
lighting and the sound system.
