Application

  • Slopes, a non-woven geo-textile is recommended in water flow applications.
  • Overspill parking.
  • General parking.
  • Embankments.
  • Amenity areas.


Not recommended for use in heavily trafficked applications: refer to the cast in situ system Grasscrete.

Description

A permeable paving system which permits natural drainage through its network of soil pockets. This enables it to be used as a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS). Each block features an interconnect lug that which locates the blocks exactly in position.


Features and benefits:

  • The perimeter of installations can be finished with Grasskerb dry fixed pre-formed kerb units enabling a free-formed concealed edge to be achieved.
  • Designed to overcome some of the difficulties associated with early pre-cast systems.
  • Level upper surface provides a safer walking platform and a lower level of traffic vibration than is often associated with studded blocks.
  • The interconnecting lugs help to form a tight interaction with neighbouring blocks to limit movement.
  • Continuous concrete surround to each soil pocket.
