Description

Watco Alveplac is the ideal solution for providing a stable platform for gardens, pathways and pedestrian areas. The gravel stabilisation grid offers an aesthetic finish. The geotextile membrane retains gravel and ensures the rapid drainage of water. Easy to handle, the Alveplac mats are a assembled with an integrated anchoring and interlocking system creating a strong hold that won’t separate.

Perfect for public, commercial and industrial spaces, the Alveplac gravel grids can be used for vehicles with axle loadings of up to 20 tonnes. For heavy traffic in urban areas, we recommend Urbangravel as a suitable alternative.

Application

Recommendations for landscape areas:

The bedding (or sub-base) layer must meet the following requirements as a minimum:

Provide drainage for storm water and runoff water. For example: the ground is considered free draining when there is no evidence of standing water after heavy rain. Where this is not the case, we recommend that the surface is drained, either by laying drainage pipes or by creating a drainage layer using 40/80 crushed stone.
Be free of rising groundwater levels. For example: the ground is prone to rising groundwater levels if it becomes wet and unstable following long periods of rain.
Have sufficient load-bearing capacity for its intended use (pedestrian or vehicular). For example: ground that has been driven over and compacted by vehicles for a period of years is considered stable.

For new-build properties, we advise checking the ground conditions with the groundwork contractor. If in doubt, it is best to ask a groundwork contractor for advice.

To provide the stated load resistance, Alveplac cells must be filled with gravel, plus an additional 2 cm top layer.

Alveplac must be laid on a stable and well compacted base. Please don’t miss it, otherwise its functionality could be seriously impaired.

Recommendations for urban areas:

Maintenance:

Gravel raking may be required from time to time and add gravel if it is necessary.
Do not use with hot mixed asphalt.
