Exeter Flood Defence project – Double Locks

iDream Solutions worked alongside Exeter City Council, to help complete the first phase of the two-phase flood defence scheme along the bank of the River Exe on the popular Exeter Quay. The new flood defence scheme will help to reduce the risk of flooding to homes and businesses in the area.


How Did iDream Solutions Help Exeter City Council?

iDream Solutions worked alongside Addagrip and Exeter City Council to create the resin-bound stone surfacing, on either side of the river and flood defences. The public footpaths needed to be safe, long-lasting and blend into the surrounding area. As a local Devon-based company, we at iDream Solutions were excited about the opportunity and enjoyed creating a long-term resin bound surfacing solution for the local community to enjoy for many years to come.

Our expert team were able to create attractive pathways along either side of the river, for locals and tourists to enjoy by foot or by bike. The smooth rustic-looking resin surface blended in with the surrounding areas and allowed the pathways to seamlessly flow into together.


The resin bonded pathways were a fantastic fit for the Exeter City flood defence scheme, not only because the pathways could be enjoyed by all visiting the city, but also because they could withstand any potential floods. Thanks to its permeable features, resin-bound pathways are the perfect solution for flood risk areas, the permeable surface allows water to filter through the pathway without damaging or breaking down the internal components.

Benefits Of Installing Resin Bound Pathways In Exeter

With our range of iDream Solutions, the resin outdoor surfacing can be used in many Devon driveways and Cornwall driveways, as well as for commercial surfacing projects. Our resin bound surfacing was selected for this particular job due to its wide range of benefits including:


  • Weed resistant – thanks to their bound properties, weeds cannot grow through the pavement and penetrate the surface.
  • Slip-resistant -iDream Solutions resin bound pathways are made with a mixture of straight aggregate, anti-slip sand and resin, providing additional traction on the surface and reducing the risk of slipping. Perfect for a public footpath which will be used in all weather conditions by a wide range of people of all abilities.
  • Low-maintenance – resin bound pathways do not require regular or additional maintenance. The aggregates within the resin should not become loose or need repairing. An occasional clean will ensure the paths look brand new for many years to come.
  • Durable – the public pathways will be in constant use all year round and will be subject to bikes, walking, prams, scooters and much more. The strong and tough solution can sustain a wide range of activities for a long time.
  • Ten-year guarantee – all iDream Solutions surfaces come with a ten-year insurance guarantee, giving you peace of mind.
  • UV & stain-resistant – the high-quality material is resistant to chemicals and UV rays, meaning the surface will not fade or stain.
  • Visually attractive – Exeter City Council requested a flood-resistant flood path to blend perfectly with the existing area features. At iDream Solutions, we create all the resin solutions on-site and can create a mixture of stone and colours for you.
