Product Information

Our ground reinforcement grids are made from recycled toughened eco-friendly plastic and provide stability achieving S.U.D.S compliant permeable surfaces & helping the environment and reduce ocean pollution at the same time. The innovative solution stabilises gravel of various sizes so that it remains in situ, thanks to a honeycomb grid that’s minimal in depth allowing you to reduce the volume of gravel required. Made from high-quality polypropylene, it’s available in grey (recycled materials), or white (naturally sourced, raw materials). Using a similar approach as they did when figuring the mass, the team chose to employ conservative estimations of the plastic count. While 1.8 trillion is a mid-range value for the total count, their calculations estimated that it may be range from 1.1 to up to 3.6 trillion pieces. Concentration The design is quite similar to the eco kit we just reviewed and set up is handled in much the same way- flatten the ground, place the grid, fill it with gravel, and you’re good to go.

On a typical 8 foot by 6 foot shed base like the FULL ECO KIT, I’ll probably use about 10-12 bags of gravel. The deeper bases like the Hawklok that are more heavy duty will want an extra three bags or so, 15 would be overkill and you’ll probably end up with a couple left. What size gravel or pea shingle should I use? On a road into New Delhi, countless cars a day speed over tonnes of plastic bags, bottle tops and discarded polystyrene cups. In a single kilometre, a driver covers one tonne of plastic waste. But far from being an unpleasant journey through a sea of litter, this road is smooth and well-maintained – in fact the plastic that each driver passes over isn't visible to the naked eye. It is simply a part of the road. Geogrid paving tiles are completely water, frost and UV resistant, making them ideal for permanent and long-term semi-permanent uses. Unlike wooden and metal reinforcement products, Geogrids will not rot, rust or warp even after years of use. MatsGrids are the leading distributor or a range of decorative aggregates and gravels specifically designed and produced for Resin Bound porous paving applications. Ground reinforcement grids, also known as grass protection grids, are a highly flexible and cost-effective solution for strengthening outdoor surfaces for a variety of purposes.Not only is this hugely beneficial, it also massively reduces the chance of floods. Our products prevent floods and therefore comply with the Flood and Water Management Act of 2010 which encourages the use of permeable surfaces to mitigate against flooding. Sampling at different locations within the same time period allowed a more accurate estimate of the size of the patch and the plastic drifting in it. LOCATION X-Grid Accessories A collection of complementary products which work in conjunction with X-Grid such as delineators, fixings and edgings. All that was left to do was fill the grid with pea gravel and this was absolutely no trouble whatsoever due to the design of the grids. It was as simple as emptying a bag full over a section, pushing it into the hole with my foot, then using a rake to even it out a bit more. The whole thing only took 12x25kg bags of pea gravel, and once done it was incredibly sturdy.

Plastic-tar road can withstand both heavy load and heavy traffic," says Vasudevan. "[It is] not affected by rain or stagnated water." India has been leading the world in experimenting with plastic-tar roads since the early 2000s. But a growing number of countries are beginning to follow suit. From Ghana to the Netherlands, building plastic into roads and pathways is helping to save carbon emissions, keep plastic from the oceans and landfill, and improve the life-expectancy of the average road.

Delivery Methods

Gurmel Ghataora, senior lecturer at the department of civil engineering at the University of Birmingham, agrees that using plastics in the lower surfaces of the road minimises the risk of generating additional microplastics. "It is inevitable that such particles may be generated [at surface level] due to traffic wear," he says. With India home to one of the world's largest road networks, growing at a rate of nearly 10,000km of roads a year, the potential to put plastic waste to use is considerable. Though this technology is relatively new for India, and indeed the rest of the world, Vasudevan is confident that plastic roads will continue to gain popularity, not only for environmental reasons, but for their potential to make longer-lasting, more resilient roads. Grass Protection Meshes Ideal for grassed pedestrian areas, grass protection meshes protect both the blade and root of the grass and helps prevent soil erosion Asphalt concrete is responsible for 1.5m tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, equivalent to 2% of global road transport emissions. Due to seasonal and interannual variabilities of winds and currents, the GPGP’s location and shape are constantly changing. Only floating objects that are predominantly influenced by currents and less by winds were likely to remain within the patch.

CORE PATH is designed to adapt for multiple uses, whether you’re creating designated spaces for wheelie bins, bicycles or pedestrian traffic, or enhancing patios and pleasure gardens. Resin Bound Gravel & Aggregates We carry a huge range of different gravels, sands and glass dust. Choose from our extensive collection or create your own unique blends using these washed & kiln-dried aggregates. Grass Protection Mats Great for use in playgrounds, events, attractions and more, grass protection mats can be used to create permanent or temporary walkways and standing areas This road, stretching from New Delhi to nearby Meerut, was laid using a system developed by Rajagopalan Vasudevan, a professor of chemistry at the Thiagarajar College of Engineering in India, which replaces 10% of a road's bitumen with repurposed plastic waste.We supply ground grid systems manufactured by Geogrid. As part of Strata, a global leader in geosynthetics products, Geogrid products have a first-class reputation in the soil reinforcement market. Resin Bound Gravel Kits Our selection of beautiful blends of aggregates make it easy to choose the materials for your next resin bound gravel project I have to say, this product really impressed me. The initial cost, plus the cost of sand and gravel is well worth it, not only because of all the time and effort saved, but because you actually end up with an excellent, reusable shed base. Here’s one pulled out that’s about 4 years old:
