Hi,

I've been asked to look into the Environmental Impact of resin bonded pathways and any health and safety issues either during or after creation/installation.

The plan is to use resin bonded pathways between sculptures for a sculpture trail. The land is currently waste-land, but was previously industrial (coal industry) and is being converted to a community park.

Any info/advice on the nature of the product/chemicals/resin and potential effect on the land would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

As a first step I'd request a H&S data sheet from the resin manufacturer.

Environmental Impact can cover many issues including appearance, drainage, wildlife, health and safety.....

It's probably not the easiest subject to discuss by email so if you want to give me a call next week, my number is below. There are also specialist firms and consultants who can advise, and they can be found using a web search.

Hope this helps.
