TruckCell 80 Heavy Duty Porous Paver

Truckcell 80 is a heavy-duty recycled plastic cellular porous paving solution for use in Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). Truckcell is suitable for a wide range of trafficked applications where a stabilised, free-draining grass surface is required and where high vehicle loads are expected. Typical applications include: coach and truck parks, emergency access, and maintenance routes. Considerations relating to the movement and attenuation of water within the porous pavement are not covered in this document. This document is intended to be a summary presenting typical solutions.

The permeable paver can be filled with topsoil and seeded, or filled with gravel to provide a structural surface for HGV traffic, trucks and coaches.

Truckcell 80 is a thick, heavy-duty porous paver manufactured from 100% recycled plastic and is strong enough to withstand daily trafficking from vehicles with high wheel loadings such as trucks, buses, fire appliances and refuse vehicles. The high load-bearing capacity of the porous pavers make them suitable for applications such as HGV parking and access roads, haul roads, loading areas, car parks, coach parks and emergency vehicle access routes.

The polymer construction of Truckcell permeable paving grids is semi-flexible, giving them a greater resistance to cracking than permeable concrete paving grid alternatives. Each Truckcell 80 grid unit weighs 9kg, keeping it well within Health and Safety manual handling guidelines.

Truckcell 80 is a high-performance, lighter-weight product than grass concrete pavers that facilitates simple manual installation and can greatly reduce installation time and site plant costs. Once installed, the open-cell structure of Truckcell paving grids is filled with a free-draining aggregate for a gravel paving surface or a grass rootzone material to form a permeable grass paving surface which can provide surface water source control within a SuDS design. The Truckcell paving cells are typically filled with either an angular gravel or with a growing media and then seeded to provide a green finish in accordance with the aesthetic and maintenance requirements of the project.
