Grasspave²
is made under license in Melbourne
Grasspave²
is an exciting, 'invisible' porous paving technology that combines
sound structural engineering and proven horticultural methods to allow
living turf grasses to be used as traffic bearing surfaces.
The
system comprises a specifically engineered porous base supporting
an interlocked flexible matrix. This preserves soil structure by
preventing compaction and maintains the integrity of the surface by preventing
lateral migration of root zone medium. This enables the grass root system
to remain intact and functional, allowing continuous healthy turf under
traffic.
The high percolation
rate of the Grasspave² system reduces storm water runoff while
promoting ground water recharge. It creates a free draining surface,
which prevents the damage commonly seen when drainage is poor.
Grasspave²
consists of 94% void, which allows maximum root development while
supporting loads from foot traffic to heavy construction vehicles without
compromising the system. Grasspave² utilises 100% recycled plastic
and is light-weight for fast low cost installation.
