High Friction Surfacing at Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex
The Challenge
Client: Lakeside Shopping Centre
Location: Essex
Surface Area Completed: 900m²+
Material Used: Safetrack™ High Friction Surfacing (HFS)
Date: July 2025
Our team recently completed a high-profile surfacing project at one of the UK’s busiest retail destinations at Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex. The scope of the work involved the preparation and overlay of over 900 square metres of high friction surfacing using Safetrack HFS, a durable and safety-enhancing solution suitable for high footfall and vehicular zones.
The Action
- Surface Preparation: Our operatives carried out thorough surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion of the Safetrack system. This included masking of edges to keep the finish neat and functional.
- Application: We applied over 900m² of Safetrack HFS, a specialist resin-based surfacing designed to enhance skid resistance and improve safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. This solution not only increases safety but also adds a clean, modern aesthetic to public spaces.
- Working Conditions: Our team operated under challenging conditions, including high ambient temperatures, but remained focused and efficient. Their professionalism and dedication ensured the project was delivered to a high standard and on time.
Team Recognition
A huge thank you to our site crew who went above and beyond, working in direct sunlight and high temperatures to get the job done swiftly and safely. Their effort and commitment played a key role in the smooth delivery of the project.
The Solution
The result is a clean, bright, and slip-resistant surface that enhances both appearance and safety around the centre’s walkways and public areas. The client was pleased with the quality of finish and the quick turnaround, with minimal disruption to the public.
