Grasscrete

How to Order Grasscrete

Grasscrete® is an environmentally friendly solution for emergency vehicle access, water management and traffic applications that offers the ability to provide year-round access for a variety of applications requiring structural paving surfaces without compromising the aesthetics of the exterior landscaping.

Grasscrete provides the availability of using single-use formers to create a monolithic reinforced ready mixed concrete pour that forms a pervious pavement structure with voids that are opened after the concrete hardens that can be utilized as an exposed application with crushed stone or concrete or utilized as a concealed system with vegetation such as grass or native ground cover.

The selection of Grasscrete is one of the easiest ways to achieve LEED® points due to the reduction in heat island effect, management of storm water runoff, recycled content used in the application process as well as the concrete and sub-base, the long lifespan and the low maintenance required.

Grass reinforcement

Occasionally confused with pre-cast blocks, Grasscrete is in fact a cast on site cellular reinforced concrete system with voids created by styrene void formers. This type of construction offers significant structural advantages over precast concrete and plastic systems:

• Load bearing up to 40 tonnes gross vehicle weight
• Resists differential settlement
• Reduces sub-base depths
• Eliminates kerb edges
• No reliance on grass for stability
• Optimum drainage capability
• Typical traffic related specifications for Grasscrete can include:
• Vehicle parking for daily or overspill use
• Emergency access
• Maintenance access
• Highway verges and pull-ins

In addition to its ability to withstand traffic loads, Grasscrete is extensively used for projects in the water environment. Tested to flow rates in excess of 8 metres per second, this self-venting paving system is ideal for armouring the following:-

• Reservoirs
• Spillways
• Storm/drainage channels
• River/lake defences/swales
