Description
BODPAVE™ 85 is an interlocking cellular porous paving system for ground reinforcement which can be installed with either a grass or gravel filled surface. The design of BODPAVE™ 85 pavers allows them to positively interlock with each other and resist shear. Once filled, they provide a high level of load-bearing performance. They are laid on a free-draining base and can be filled with either gravel for immediate frequent/intensive use, or with a seeded sand/soil to establish a grassed surface for occasional consecutive use. Both options mean that the resulting pavement is porous and in sympathy with the environment.
The unique BODPAVE™ 85 design resists lateral movement whilst accommodating expansion and contraction, promotes surface traction and stability and encourages grass growth by protecting the roots.
Features:
- Natural grass or gravel surface options
- High load-bearing capacity up to 450t/m2
- 92% open surface structure – SUDS source-control compliant
- Can accommodate inclines up to 1:8 / 12% / 7° and localised gradient changes
- No pinning required except on excessive gradients
- Accelerated installation with 1m x 1m panels (four pre-connected pavers supplied as standard)
- Environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing
- Suitability for hot and cold climates due to expansion/contraction capability
- Less wastage as pavers can be incrementally off-set connected to accommodate curves/ obstructions
- Non-toxic and chemically inert to the chemicals naturally found in soils
- Manufactured in the UK using recycled HDPE with additional UV stabilisation
