It is always interesting to see construction site, wondering what this new addition to your community will offer. Though, until they are finished, they are messy and bit of an eyesore at times. Large machines driving around, tearing up the ground. But, these sites need durable flooring to work effectively. Concreate and asphalt are some of the choices that they have at their disposal. Though are known to crack and make pot holes with excessive weather or impact. Today, I would like to tell you about Permeable Pavers , which provide stability for long or short derations.
permeable pavers are plastic sheets make up of circular holes that are traditionally filled with dirt, gravel, grass, or other non-hardening agents. They trap and keep the particulate substance of your choice in place, meaning that you won’t have to worry as much about erosion, loss of material, and damage to property. Unlike traditional paving, you don’t have to worry about cleaning the material, dealing with the water runoff (permeable pavers allow water to pass through them and soak into the soil underneath), or costly repairs if part of it collapses. It also helps with heat mitigation, meaning that your parking lot isn’t going to turn into a griddle on those hot summer days.
Another added benefit of using permeable pavers is that they are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, meaning that every square foot of paver you put down is a decrease of plastics that are put into landfills. Now, don’t worry about the strength and rigidity of these pavers, because when you place the dirt or gravel into the circular structure of the paver, the weight of the vehicles travelling over it is transferred into that material, not directly into the plastic. But even without being filled these plastic pavers can withstand up to 6800 psi of pressure, so they’ll be able to handle whatever you throw at them.
These pavers are a lot less expensive than traditional paving solutions, and after you’ve installed them, they’re virtually maintenance free. If you have a concrete layer on the ground and it breaks or cracks, if you want to repair it you have to destroy the concrete around it, re-pour the concrete, and then that section, depending on how it was poured, may still be weaker than the surrounding concrete because of the differing cure times. That’s not a problem with the plastic permeable pavers. If, for some reason (and you’ll have to try really hard) one of these pavers breaks, all you have to do is dig it up, put another one in its place, and fill it with gravel again.
Though flexible and affordable, this system is not always the right fit. But, it is a versatile system that can cover a lot of work and space. Providing optimal working conditions, which can be compared to asphalt. This is perfect for long term jobs like extending parking or short term jobs of providing stable ground to work on or store equipment. So, if you are looking for pavements that can handle the job, give a look at permeable pavements and talk to a representative today.
