Christchurch Earthquake Report

Two days prior to the devastating earthquake in Christchurch we had installed Rockpave porous paving in over 90% of the tree pits surrounding AMI Stadium. Christchurch Council had selected Rockpave as the ideal alternative to traditional tree surrounds as it allows the tree to breath and gather the water it needs whilst being almost maintenance free and very hardy.

We have always maintained that Rockpave retains a certain amount of flexibility due to the polyurethane resin systems that we use. The earthquake was certainly the ultimate test, our product survived remarkably in tact through the enormous forces that were in play during this terrible event.
