Grasscrete View Gallery

Occasionally confused with pre-cast blocks Grasscrete is in fact a cast on site cellular reinforced concrete system with voids created by styrene void formers.

This type of construction offers significant structural advantages over precast concrete and plastic systems:

• load bearing up to 40 tonnes gross vehicle weight
• resists differential settlement
• reduces sub-base depths
• eliminates kerb edges
• no reliance on grass for stability
• optimum drainage capability

The lightweight nature of the Grasscrete former moulds enables us to ship economically throughout the world and with a corresponding reduction in our carbon footprint.

Typical traffic related specifications for Grasscrete can include:

• vehicle parking for daily or overspill use
• emergency access
• maintenance access
• highway verges and pull-ins

In addition to its ability to withstand traffic loads, Grasscrete is also massively used for projects in the water environment. Tested to flow rates in excess of 8 metres per second, this self-venting paving system is ideal for armouring the following:-

• reservoirs
• spillways
• storm/drainage channels
• river and sea defences
• swales

When combined with its ability to withstand traffic, Grasscrete has a unique position in the field of Water Engineering.
