Restraints are an important part of the paving stones pavement system.
They hold pavers tightly together, enabling consistent interlock of the
units throughout the entire pavement. They prevent the pavers from
spreading apart under horizontal traffic forces and from minor
settlement. They can take the form of existing structures such as
buildings, curbs, etc.
Bus terminals around the globe have used paving stones as the pavement
of choice. Their strength, durability, and resistance to petrochemicals
and de-icing salts, are a testimonial unto itself. EcolocŪ goes the
extra distance with drainage cavities, as well as the patented
dual-axis system which can easily facilitate the pressures of repeated
wheel turning and stopping.
The jointing sand is broadcast uniformly over the entire surface of
paving stones. This sand is then swept into the paver joints. The
joints shall be filled with the sand. After filling the joints, the
pavers are compacted using a plate compactor of sufficient size. This
action will force the jointing sand into the joints and interlock the
pavers. After compaction, the entire area shall be swept again to
ensure that the joints are filled with sand. In all cases, a second
pass with the compactor is recommended to assist in the penetration of
joint sand well into the joints. |
