EcoGrid plastic porous paving, SuDs compliant grid, is perfect for the construction of cycle paths. With news of investment in cycle paths across the UK, we thought it pertinent to write a little about EcoGrid and its suitability for the construction of cycle paths.
Back in 2013, BBC mentioned in an article “A number of English cities and national parks are to share a £94m cash injection to promote cycling. Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford, and Norwich will share £77m, with four national parks getting a further £17m.”.
Having a good cycling path can massively improve the cycling experience. Not only does it provide a better road journey, but it also reduces the risk of injury caused by plot holes and uneven grounds.
EcoGrid is a plastic porous paving product, it comes in three different depths and four different load-bearing capacities. It arrives on-site pre-clipped together in 12 tile or 1.33 square metre sections.
EcoGrid is a permeable paving class leader with by far the best patented locking system that you would expect from the world leader in its field and a world leader for the past six years, making it perfect for the construction of cycle paths. EcoGrid needs no spikes or time-consuming clips to assemble and is THE proven product for a myriad of uses.
EcoGrid is TUV tested for loads of 350/250 and 120 tonnes per square metre, however these tests are carried our empty, giving an accurate test of the load bearing quality of the grid alone. Other grid manufacturers show their load capacities as full grids, if we did this; we would show twice our published capacities at 240/500 and 700 tonnes per square metre!
EcoGrid is a ground reinforcement product made from recycled polyethylene. It is THE solution for car parks, pedestrian and cycle paths, picnic areas, golf courses, parks, fire lanes, event areas and horse paddocks. EcoGrid is an environmentally friendly alternative for use in domestic driveways, Airfield runways and taxi ways, and reinforcement of roadsides, banks, shores, and slopes. EcoGrid is a sustainable ground reinforcement tile that provides excellent water drainage. EcoGrid comes in four different sizes and three different colours: black, green and terracotta.
