Abstract:
Ecotechnical pavement comprising a draining and wearing course (1) and at least a second lower layer (2) of analogous structure. The particular granulometry of said layers (1, 2) and the choice of aggregates, insure both an optimum adherence and the absorption of medium and high acoustic frequencies produced by vehicle traffic. Between the two layers (1, 2) and the lower supporting layer (5) there is provided a 'cooperating separation layer' (3) which transmits the forces produced by vehicle traffic to the supporting layer (5). The layer (3) acts as a Helmhotz resonator in order to absorb sound at low frequencies, besides allowing an easy transversal flow of rainwater, the passage of powder of heavy metals or the passage of other types of liquids; the latter, which may be dangerous or polluting, are collected in a lateral 'reservoir pavement' (9). The separation layer prevents cracks due to fatigue from rising.
Abstract:
A paving element manufactured from water-permeable material, wherein a pipe section (2) provided with a number of inlet openings (3) is included in the paving element, the pipe section (2) being connectable to a first water discharge system (6), and the inlet openings (3) being provided in the paving element. A street provided with a series of such paving elements.
Abstract:
A moulded block (1) is proposed with water channels (11) below the top surface (2) for draining the latter. The aim is to make the periodic cleaning of these water channels necessitated by dirt deposition less frequent or unnecessary . This is done by providing at least one dirt retaining groove (5, 6) with at least one lateral overflow threshold (9, 10).
Abstract:
A method for installing a paver system includes positioning a first grid substrate adjacent to a second grid substrate. The first grid substrate and the second grid substrate are flexibly bridged with a first paver piece. A first portion of the first paver piece is movably coupled with the first grid substrate at a first joint, and a second portion of the first paver piece is movably coupled with the second grid substrate at a second joint, the first and second grid substrates and the first paver piece forming an articulated paver linkage. A second paver piece is coupled with the second grid substrate. A third paver piece is coupled with the first grid substrate. The articulated paver linkage is fit within the specified area by movement of at least one of the first, second and third paver pieces and the first and second grid substrates. The movement is transmitted along the articulated paver linkage to maintain a specified alignment and spacing of the first, second and third paver pieces.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a porous pavement system are described. The porous pavement system includes paver blocks designed to facilitate water seepage between the paver blocks and to permit water storage within the blocks. The paver blocks may be cabled together to create paving units that facilitate installation and maintenance of the pavement system. The porous pavement system provides improved management of stormwater, reducing runoff and facilitating infiltration of stormwater into the subgrade below the paving system.
Abstract:
The invention provides blocks made of certain material, equipped with drainage and ventilation functions, and a side of the blocks formed with first interlocking part and second interlocking part in the opposite but corresponding side while other two sides without the interlocking part formed with ventilating channels penetrating the center of the block unit and other areas without first and second interlocking parts equipped with chamfered channels in certain length and width. The blocks of the invention are paved in multi-layers and equipped with numerous ventilation channels and longitudinal grooving. Thus, the multi-layer structure provides sound drainage of water and moisture while preventing subsidence of road via maximizing the maintenance period of the pavement.
Abstract:
A filter element (1) for liquid permeable floor area fastening (17), a floor covering plate (15), a manhole cover (15), a sewage cavity or the like, with at least one pre-filtering layer (3) in the direction of the through-flow (2) and at least one following filter layer (4,4'), wherein the free through-flow sections (a, b, b') of each layer (3, 4, 4') increase from layer to layer in the direction of the through-flow. The filter also comprises a housing (5) which surrounds the filter layers (4,4') in a framelike manner and maintains them, wherein each filter layer (4,4') is formed from granular material and the grains are available in loose form or linked to each other by a weak binding agent.
Abstract:
A compliant insert for flexibly supporting a synthetic floor tile above a ground surface that includes one or more elongate bodies, with each elongate body having a longitudinal axis oriented parallel to a top surface of the floor tile, a top face having an attachment interface for coupling to a tile support structure extending downward from an underside of the floor tile, and a bottom face of having at least one contact flat for contacting the ground surface and at least one upwardly-directed recess for allowing liquids to flow underneath the insert. Each of the elongate bodies also has a thickness and stiffness sufficient, in an unloaded state, to elevate the support structure a distance above the ground surface.
