Seafront regeneration
A landscape shaped by its purpose.
Littlehampton’s West Green brings water play, sports courts, coastal planting and seating together beside the seafront. CORE supplied Decorative Concrete Specialists for the Arun District Council regeneration project, with Neilcott Construction as main contractor.
The brief
What the project had to achieve.
Provide robust edging that follows straight runs and curves, restrains adjoining surfaces and accommodates the required levels.
- 01
Changing geometry
Follow straight runs and curves within the seafront layout.
- 02
Surface restraint
Define and restrain the adjoining landscape surfaces.
- 03
Accurate levels
Position the edging to the required levels during installation.
The CORE solution
Selected around the site—not just the surface.
Galvanised steel profiles with DatumLock height adjustment define the divisions between the coloured landscape surfaces.
The project used 200 linear metres of 150mm galvanised CORE DATUM EDGE in 3mm steel. The edging defines divisions between the light sand, blue and yellow surfaces throughout the layout.
The DatumLock height adjustment system supports accurate positioning of the edge during installation, helping maintain a consistent line through the landscape.
