TruckPave – Heavy-Duty Porous Plastic Pavers

PLEASE NOTE
We no longer supply TruckPave.

We are pleased to supply our own CellPave™ HD, truck grade paver. This is a high specification, UK made product. Full details of CellPave™ HD can be found here: CellPave™ HD – Truck Grade, Heavy-Duty Paver

Manufactured from recycled plastics, TruckPave cellular paving is robust, durable and capable of withstanding all levels of traffic up to and including coaches, dustcarts and HGVs.

TruckPave’s cells can be filled with either grass seed/topsoil or gravel, making them suitable for stabilising areas where a grass or stone surface is desirable. TruckPave ground reinforcement grid pavers are the economic, environmentally-friendly and a lightweight alternative to concrete grasscrete-type pavers.

TruckPave heavy duty pavers should be installed onto a well-prepared, free-draining, firm and relatively-level stone sub-base (a reduced-fines Type 3 for example).  The sub-base is overlaid with geotextile filter/separator followed by 20mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer for the pavers.

Once laid, the paver cells can be filled with a free-draining stone (e.g. 10mm gravel) or a good, clean, friable top soil and grass seed at 30/40 g/m2.  The cells should not be overfilled so remove excess topsoil or stone from the surface.  The topsoil settlement that will occur within the paver cells is desirable as this will allow grass growth without direct impact from traffic. Perimeter pavers should be restrained using pinned timber sleepers or precast kerbs.  The pavers can be cut with a hand saw or power cutter for fitting around obstructions. The whole area should be compacted with either a plate vibrator or a small roller.
