Is Hydropave permeable paving only suitable for car parking or can it be used on areas subjected to heavy traffic?

Car parking areas is one of the most popular applications for our Hydropave permeable paving range but can be used with up to six traffic categories, provided that the paved area is designed and installed in accordance with the British Standard, BS 7533-13 ‘Pavements constructed with clay, natural stone or concrete pavers – Guide for the design of permeable pavements constructed with concrete blocks and flags, natural stone slabs and setts and clay pavers’.

This means Hydropave is suitable for heavy-duty applications like bus stations and main roads. For more information on how our Hydropave permeable range can be used to meet the requirements of up to six traffic categories, please access our blog: ‘What are the traffic categories for permeable paving?’
