Pro Pave Interlocking HGV Paving Grid - 600 x 400 x 80mm

Pro Pave is an 80mm deep interlocking ground reinforcement grid moulded in the UK from 100% recycled PVC. It is laid on a prepared base and filled with gravel or soil to form a permeable hardstanding for HGVs, coaches and forklifts. The grid is rated to 160 tonnes gross vehicle weight (GVW) with a 40 tonne maximum axle load, subject to sub-base and ground conditions. In a spot load test to 40 tonnes, displacement was under 1mm on the correct supporting substrate.

• Size: 600 x 400 x 80mm, 8kg per grid
• Coverage: 4.17 grids per m², 33.36kg/m²
• Load rating: 160 tonnes GVW, 40 tonne maximum axle load
• Material: 100% recycled PVC from UK post-industrial sources, 100% recyclable
• Surface: anti-slip, with high UV resistance
• Infill: gravel or soil

How the interlock works

Neighbouring grids connect with a tongue and groove joint, so the surface stays tied together where HGVs turn, brake and reverse. Standard cellular paving grids are butt-jointed and only sit alongside each other, which leaves the infill to hold them in position. The interlock also makes laying quicker on large areas, because each grid locates against the next.

Infill and drainage

Gravel infill gives a permeable, load-bearing surface for parking and yard areas. Soil infill supports grass where a green finish is wanted, for example on overflow parking or verges. Water drains through the open grid, so the surface can be used within SuDS schemes, although the drainage design stays with the project designer. Sub-base depth and any geotextile layer below it, such as a woven geotextile membrane over soft formation, are also specified by the designer for the traffic and ground conditions.

Handling and reuse

At 8kg a grid, the units are laid by hand without plant and stack compactly for delivery and storage. They can be lifted and reused, which suits temporary compounds and storage yards as well as permanent hardstandings. For lighter traffic, gravel retention paviours are a lower-cost alternative to this 80mm grid.

Typical uses

HGV and coach parking, forklift loading areas in industrial yards, construction site compounds and storage areas, and highway verge reinforcement where vehicles regularly overrun the edge.
