Visqueen Gas protection at the Skelton Lake services on the M1 motorway in Leeds

THE PROJECT

A £60 million ‘new concept’ motorway services area being developed on the M1 near Leeds which will be safeguarded by Visqueen gas protection systems when it opens in January 2020.

The Leeds Skelton Lake MSA occupies a 30-acre site and is being delivered by owner and operator Extra MSA Group.

THE GROUND GAS PROTECTION SYSTEM

Over 4,000 square metres of Visqueen Gas Barrier has been installed at this project. This membrane has helped to provide protection for the main food court-style facilities building and a 100-bed hotel that connects to it.

In addition, 1,500 square metres of Visqueen Gas Vent Mat have been laid beneath the hotel slab to enable ground gases such as radon, methane, and carbon dioxide to dissipate safely to atmosphere.

PRS worked on a very busy site and to schedule, providing a first class service for our client.
