LANDSCAPING SERVICES
It is an ideal base for sown grass , as the units both stabilise the ground and protect the roots , allowing the grass to grow through the cells and rendering the units practically invisible over time , especially if the green colourway is used . It is ideally suited for :
• Car / Coach parking
• Overspill grass car parks
• Emergency Service ( Fire access routes )
• Walkways and access routes
• Golf buggy paths
• Driveways or on-grass parking
• Grass aircraft taxiways and helipads
BODPAVE is made here in the UK from UV stabilised . 100 % recycled waste plastic . Completely non-toxic , once backfilled the units can stand up to 400 tonnes / m2 , transferring the load laterally across the surrounding units . With each paver having 18 ground spikes , BODPAVE can be used on slopes up to 12 %/ 7 °.
As well as BODPAVE 85 , we also offer the slightly shallower , new improved BODPAVE 40 , available in green or black , but with a load bearing capacity of 250 tonnes / m2 . This provides a stable base car parks and it can be supplied with white markers for parking spaces .
The swale area was finished off with tree planting to soften the boundaries around the perimeter , and for which Green-tech supplied the necessary stakes and rubber ties and blocks .
Green-tech ’ s involvement : Several areas around the main swale and service areas , although grassed , needed additional ground stabilisation to avoid the surface becoming rutted or worn . Greentech has been working with Northeast builders ’ merchants , James Burrell Ltd for 17 years , and they came to Green-tech to order 300 square metres of BODPAVE 85 , to stabilise the grass top surface .
BODPAVE is an interlocking , porous , cellular plastic paving grid system used as an effective ground reinforcement solution , that can be backfilled with either gravel , hardcore or a soil / grass mix . The design of the units resists lateral movement yet allows for expansion and contraction .
Alasdair Innes – Green-tech Specification Advisor comments , “ Although a fairly straightforward project , it is always nice to see the landscaping around new developments settling in . As time goes on , the BODPAVE will become less noticeable as the grass grows and covers the units .
