asphalt driveway resurfacing at soil retention
DRIVABLE GRASS®is a asphalt driveway resurfacing permeable, flexible and plantable concrete pavement system manufactured from asphalt driveway resurfacing poly-reinforced concrete. It is designed for use in areas where a permeable, asphalt driveway resurfacing vegetated vehicle access or parking surface is required. Example applications include; emergency and service vehicle access lanes, overflow parking asphalt driveway resurfacing areas, golf cart paths, patios, RV parking areas and asphalt driveway resurfacing.
The concrete paving mat is designed to flex and conform to irregular ground surface contours along pre-defined linear grooves without asphalt driveway resurfacing falling apart. Pre-manufactured holes and cracks allow for root penetration through the mat into subgrade soil, anchoring it firmly into place. asphalt driveway resurfacing The mat’s porous nature enables moisture to filter into the underlying soil, increasing on- asphalt driveway resurfacing site storm water storage and minimizing off-site asphalt driveway resurfacing water flow. Even when saturated, DRIVABLE GRASS® maintains its load support characteristics and drivable, grassy, surface while minimizing wheel asphalt driveway resurfacing rutting.
The test site was constructed on October 1, 2004. Prior to grading the site for the test section, the asphalt driveway resurfacing area was proof-rolled with a loaded water truck. Construction of the test section was conducted by Soil Retention crews and was done under the direction of Dean Sandri, PE. The “pavement section” consisted of the Drivable Grass (1.5 inch thickness) “wearing surface” underlain by a one-half to one inch thickness of sand leveling bed and a variable thickness of crushed miscellaneous base (CMB); all of which was placed directly on top of the existing sub-grade soils (See Figure 1). A geotextile separator (Mirafi 140N) asphalt driveway resurfacing was placed between the subgrade and aggregate base to ensure that mixing of the asphalt driveway resurfacing two would be minimized. asphalt driveway resurfacing A rigid concrete apron was provided at each end of the test asphalt driveway resurfacing section to transition vehicular traffic on and off of the pavement.
