Newquay Skatepark

Such an amazing project to have been apart of!

Maen Karne’s ready-mix concrete was used to build a ‘world class’ skatepark in Newquay in Cornwall. Over 400 cubic metres of a specially designed mix has been supplied from both Hayle and Penryn plants for the new Concrete Waves skatepark. The concrete is sprayed on to form the vertical ramps, bowls and half-pipes of the new facility that was built by skatepark specialists Maverick Industries and open in July 2018. This was a great project that we all loved to be apart of.
