Hydropave™
Permeable Paving System
The Hydropave system has been developed by Tobermore in conjunction with SF-Kooperation (an international paving organisation) and John Knapton, former Professor of Structural Engineering at Newcastle University, a world authority on Permeable Block Paving systems.
The Hydropave block has been designed with a unique spacer which has conical centering spacers to guide and hold each block perfectly into place. The size of the spacer allows the blocks to form a 6mm drainage joint which is filled with 6mm grit allowing storm water to flow through into the bedding layer and sub-base. This 6mm drainage joint has proved, in tests carried out at The University of Newcastle, to provide a permeability of 1800 litres/sec/hectare. The joint is only required to have a permeability of 180 litres/sec/hectare* therefore the Hypropave blocks have a significant factor of safety built in to cope with any clogging which may develop over time
* This figure was originally derived from research carried out at the Building Research Establishment.
