The Geoworks Ecodeck 40mm Deep Geopaving System is an innovative, high-performance permeable paving solution designed to create durable, stable, and environmentally friendly surfaces. Comprising interlocking cellular grids, these units effectively confine and stabilise granular materials like gravel or grass, forming a robust load-bearing surface that allows for natural water infiltration.

Manufactured from durable, recycled plastic, it provides a long-lasting, eco-friendly alternative to traditional paving and hard surfaces. Its 40mm depth offers robust load-bearing capabilities, making it ideal for both pedestrian and vehicle use. This system provides excellent ground reinforcement while promoting sustainable drainage, making it an ideal choice for both professional and DIY permeable paving projects.

Features & Benefits

• Sustainable Drainage Solution (SuDS Compliant) - Allows rainwater to permeate naturally into the ground, reducing surface runoff and alleviating pressure on conventional drainage systems.
• High Load-Bearing Capacity - Engineered to withstand significant vehicular and pedestrian traffic, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from driveways to car parks.
• Effective Ground Stabilisation - The cellular structure securely confines gravel or grass infill, preventing spreading, rutting, and maintaining a stable, even surface.
• Eco-Friendly Material - Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, contributing to environmental sustainability and reducing landfill waste.
• Durable & Long-Lasting - Resistant to frost, UV degradation, chemicals, and heavy loads, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance.
• Easy & Fast Installation - Lightweight, interlocking tiles are simple to lay by hand, significantly reducing installation time and labour costs.
• Versatile Infill Options - Can be filled with gravel for a practical, permeable surface or seeded with grass for a natural, green aesthetic.
• Reduces Heat Island Effect - Permeable surfaces can help mitigate urban heat island effects by allowing natural evaporation.

The Geoworks Ecodeck 40mm Deep Geopaving System is invaluable for any project where a stable, durable, and permeable surface is desired. It is particularly useful in areas where conventional impermeable paving might cause drainage issues, or where environmental regulations encourage sustainable drainage solutions.

By creating a strong, free-draining surface, it helps prevent standing water, reduces flood risk, and protects underlying ground from erosion. Its robust design ensures that even heavily trafficked areas remain stable and functional, while its eco-friendly nature aligns with modern environmental standards.

Typical Applications

• Residential Driveways - Creating durable, permeable driveways that blend into the landscape.
• Car Parks - Stabilising and reinforcing car parking areas for both commercial and residential use.
• Access Roads - Constructing stable and permeable access routes for light to medium traffic.
• Emergency Vehicle Access - Providing robust, all-weather access for emergency services.
• Pathways & Footpaths - Creating stable and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian routes.
• Overflow Parking Areas - Ideal for occasional use parking areas that need to remain green or permeable.
• Golf Buggy Paths - Stabilising routes on golf courses without impacting drainage.
• Caravan & Trailer Parking - Providing a solid base that prevents sinking and rutting.

Manufacturer's Notes

Gravel pavers should be overfilled by approximately 10–20 mm (1–2 cm) above the top of the grid cells.

Why Overfill?

• To hide the grid: A slight overfill conceals the plastic structure of the paver, making the surface visually continuous with the surrounding area.
• To allow for settling and compaction: Gravel will settle over time due to foot or vehicle traffic. The overfill compensates for this, maintaining coverage and performance.
• To maintain a smooth surface: Without enough overfill, the tops of the grid can become exposed, especially in high-traffic areas, which may lead to discomfort, wear, or damage.
