Difficulties and problems that arise during the construction of various objects can be solved by using geosynthetics. If you want to purchase this material at a competitive price, then you should contact.
Volumetric geogrid for parking
A common problem that occurs when using a parking lot is that the load is distributed unevenly around the perimeter.
If you do not take any action, then in the future, grooves will form on the base. This is because the shock-absorbing cushion gradually shifts.
In order to restore the integrity of this site, a considerable amount of funds will be required.
But you can also save money if you give preference to geosynthetic materials, and also introduce a volumetric lattice into the composition. It is placed directly on the base.
More information about eco-parking
Lawn gratings are used not only in private areas, but also in large public areas. Before delving into the advantages of the material, let's find out the properties that eco-parking concrete paving stones actually have:
- makes the lawn surface perfectly smooth;
- maintains an attractive appearance of the lawn;
- protects the roots of planted plants;
- prevents the formation of floods, etc.
Now we can begin to discuss the positive aspects of this material. Using the above design makes it easier to create landscape design, but this is not the only advantage of eco-parking. Let's consider others:
- Simplicity. Now maintaining your lawn is much easier. The grille does not interfere with the operation of lawn mowers and other lawn care equipment.
- Environmentally friendly. It is important to note that the eco-parking concrete lawn grate is made of natural materials and is absolutely harmless. You can safely place it near your home!
- Frost resistance. The material withstands cold and low temperatures well, so when spring comes you will not have to replace the structure.
- Easy installation. The lattice is easy to install and helps speed up the process of arranging a green area.
Having read everything that is written above, we can conclude that eco-parking paving slabs are an excellent solution for creating a perfectly beautiful and well-groomed lawn both near a private cottage and near public parks, embankments, boulevards and so on. If you are interested in this design for its extraordinary advantages, then we suggest going to our catalog and getting to know it a little closer!
Functions of geogrid for parking
The geogrid is designed to stabilize the base and also increase the level of strength of the parking lot. In order to fill the cells, you can use local soil or other filler.
In addition, geogrid can be combined with geosynthetic textiles. As a result, you can create a structure that is durable and reliable.
The use of these materials makes it possible to prevent the formation of dips and gouges, as well as increase the level of strength. It is mandatory to include such materials in the composition if cargo or passenger transport will be located in the parking lot.
Don't walk on the lawns - cars park there!
Until recently, such a phrase could baffle anyone, because since childhood we have become accustomed to “not walking on lawns,” not to mention driving cars onto them. We offer a unique solution that appeals to both private owners and city organizations. Down with gray asphalt and harmful fumes - hello, green grass, neatly sprouting in the honeycombs of the concrete lattice.
A concrete lawn grid is a modular design with cells of the same size, which are designed for backfilling soil. It is a “2 in 1” product, as it simultaneously performs both decorative and protective functions. On the one hand, a durable cellular module protects the root system of plants from damage, on the other hand, it serves as a garden decoration tool, allowing you to create neat lawns and maintain a “green zone” in the right places.
Installation of geogrid for parking
If there is a need to prepare a parking lot where heavy equipment will be located, then the work is carried out in a certain order.
So, the perimeter is initially cleared of vegetation and other foreign objects. For these purposes, you will need a material whose density is about 350 g/m2 or more.
Sand must be applied to this coating, which is carefully distributed and carefully compacted.
A geosynthetic mesh is placed on a cushion prepared from sand, and crushed stone and soil are used to fill it. A non-woven geotextile fabric is applied to the mesh, which is joined by welding or heat treatment.
Only after this is the preparation of the shock-absorbing cushion, without which no construction can be completed. As a finishing coating, asphalt or another material, for example, tiles, is used.
If you use a high-quality geogrid, you can minimize the likelihood of depressions and other damage. And reduce the cost of restoring the parking lot.
Features of grating installation
Given the significant weight of the elements, it is recommended to use special equipment.
The process of installing geogrid elements for parking lots and other facilities is difficult to implement compared to installing plastic blocks. This is due to the weight of the products. It will be difficult to move one concrete cell on your own. The principle of laying such material is similar to installing paving slabs. Before starting work, the following tools are prepared:
- Sand, gravel. Used to form a substrate for cells.
- Testing and measuring instruments. Pegs, string, level.
- Tools for laying blocks. Rubber mallet, improvised seal.
- Entrenching tool. For work on arrangement of excavation for laying.
Installation of concrete elements of a lawn lattice takes a long time, so you should worry about the temporary storage location for the materials in advance.
The installation algorithm is as follows:
- Preparatory stage. The area for laying cells is being marked. Next, the turf is removed and a 300 mm deep excavation is made in the ground.
- Leveling the pit. The soil at the bottom of the depression is leveled, its horizontalness is controlled by the building level.
- Laying crushed stone. A continuous layer with a thickness of 100 mm is formed, it is moistened and compacted.
- Adding sand. It is done on top of crushed stone, also poured with technical liquid, and compacted.
- Grill installation. The cells are adjusted in height by carefully hitting them with a mallet. The horizontal position is controlled by the building level.
Geogrid for ecological car parking
Recently, geosynthetic grids have been used in the construction of environmentally friendly car parks. Such gratings are used to create the top layer.
Soil, as well as lawn grass, etc. are used for filling. All this makes it possible to create the highest quality ecological parking.
Geosynthetic gratings are distinguished by the fact that they are able to withstand considerable loads, quickly restore their shape, and are also characterized by long-term operation. That is why such parking lots are prepared in close proximity to administrative or commercial facilities.
Varieties of eco-tiles
Depending on the shape of the gratings, lawn tiles are divided into two types:
- square;
- honeycomb-shaped.
The shape of the product performs not only an aesthetic and decorative function, but also plays an important role when choosing products for the functional arrangement of a specific area. Thus, square gratings, capable of withstanding high loads (up to 400 tons per square meter), are relevant for decorating areas with heavy traffic. Honeycomb-shaped gratings can withstand up to 20 tons per square meter, so the scope of application is limited to sidewalk paths, playgrounds and parking lots for cars.
Manufacturers also took care of making products in various color forms, adding a coloring component to it. Gray is the most popular color as it is natural for concrete structures. However, you can also find red, brown, blue, yellow and even green ecoplates. The use of coloring pigment increases the cost of products.
Advantages of concrete gratings
Grids with holes for grass have become a great alternative to traditional boring monolithic tiles. Here one can see not only practicality, but also concern for the environment. And the design of eco-parking is more attractive. But this is not all the advantages of the modules:
- they are strong and durable, so they are suitable for constant loads;
- they are used for laying on heavy soils;
- withstands the influence of weather - concrete gratings are not afraid of rain, snow or ice;
- the material is resistant to severe frost and ultraviolet radiation;
- when laying vibro-pressed concrete, a drainage layer is not required - the grid itself performs this function;
- surface roughness guarantees anti-slip properties.
Consumers are attracted not only by quality and practicality, but also by relatively low prices.
Disadvantages of a lawn trellis
Paving slabs with holes for grass have disadvantages, but they rarely affect the choice:
- a concrete lattice is heavier than plastic, but this minus is relative;
- the width of the walls prevents the roots from developing to their full potential;
- the modules are visible through the grass (but this drawback is not significant).
In terms of design, concrete lawn gratings have somewhat limited capabilities than plastic modules. But if you approach the arrangement of the parking lot with taste, choosing interesting color schemes (in Meba Warrant), you can get an equally attractive result.
Example of a lawn grid for parking
Eco-parking at the dacha
It’s nice when dacha owners care not only about the convenience of their guests, but also worry about comfortable parking for their cars. Compacted soil and wild grass are no longer an option, just like boring concrete. Lately, owners have been attracted to lawn eco-parking – it is practical and looks beautiful.
Externally, the parking lot looks like a symbiosis of paving slabs and grass lawn. This visualization is created by a lattice dug into the ground. There are several options for filling its cells. For example, paving stones with grass look original.
The design itself is lightweight, but durable and resistant to loads. This ensures the stability of the parking space coverage.
Note! Lawn tiles not only allow you to keep the parking lot clean (dirt does not form even after rain), but also maintains the integrity of the soil in places where cars are located.
The combination of concrete pavement with lawn vegetation allows you to maintain the ecological balance of the surrounding landscape, which is so important in the modern world.
