Bodpave 40 Porous Pavers

Bodpave 40 pavers are a cost effective solution to worn & rutted areas, displaced gravel and for Source Control of surface water run-off. Bodpave 40 paving grids are designed to be installed onto a well prepared, free-draining and relatively even surface using a sub-base construction. This may require a geogrid reinforcement layer where ground conditions require additional strengthening. The ground reinforcement paving grids simply connect together and are filled an angular gravel for use as a gravel retention reinforcement surface. Construction profiles for each application will be determined by the specific site conditions & loading criteria. Detailed design literature and technical support are downloadable.

Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS)

The gravel reinforcement paver grids have a very open cell structure allowing unrestricted healthy grass root growth and water infiltration and can be used as part of a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS). The paver grids also incorporate 20mm ‘ground-spikes’ on the base which fix through the adjacent paving grid’s edge-loops to provide the entire structure with firm anchorage and structural integrity and making them easy to install at rates of up to 100m² per hour. Bodpave 40 gravel pavers should be installed onto a firm level sub-base (typically a DoT Type 3 or porous sub-base). The thickness of this base is dependent on the existing ground conditions and the design load specifications. Please contact our technical team for further details.
