Concrete Paving Systems

Product catalog summary

Overview
Concrete pavers are highlighted for their strength, durability, and ease of installation, making them a valuable addition to various projects.

Accessibility
Concrete pavers meet ADA standards for slip resistance, surface level, and vibration levels, ensuring accessibility compliance.

Bond Patterns
A variety of bond patterns are available, with specific quantities provided for different sizes based on a 10 x 10 sq. ft. area.

ASTM Specifications
Concrete pavers adhere to ASTM C 936 standards, with requirements including a compressive strength of 8,000 psi, maximum absorption rates, and minimum thickness specifications.

Dimensional Tolerances
Length and width tolerances are ± 1/16”, and height tolerance is ± 1/8”.

Recommended Paving Design Sections
Design recommendations include specifications for residential patios, walkways, and driveways, detailing the use of compacted aggregate bases and sand setting beds.

Aggregates
Specifications for base stone sand, setting base sand, and jointing sand are provided, with references to ASTM standards.

Drainage
A minimum slope of 1/4” per foot is recommended for effective water runoff and drainage.

Geotextile
Use of geotextile is recommended to prevent aggregate migration, especially on soft clay bases.

Cutting Pavers
Wet saws are recommended for cutting pavers, with splitters as an alternative for smaller jobs.

Estimating Materials
Guidelines for estimating sub-base aggregate and setting sand quantities are provided based on area size.

Additional Bond Patterns
Additional patterns are detailed for larger paver sizes, with specific piece counts for each pattern.
