Description

Heavy-Duty Grass Paving Grids 65 mm – Verdure Core™ for Truck Parking Lots, Industrial Areas, and Fire Department Access Roads

Verdure Core™ Heavy-Duty Grass Paving Grids 65 mm are a highly durable ground reinforcement system for
truck parking lots, industrial sites, logistics areas, fire department access roads, service roads, and heavily trafficked outdoor areas.
The system combines high load-bearing capacity with a permanently water-permeable and environmentally sound ground reinforcement solution.

Unlike fully sealed surfaces made of concrete or asphalt, rainwater can seep directly into the ground on site.
Depending on the chosen infill, the result is a green, gravel-filled, or mineral-stabilized traffic surface that reliably withstands heavy loads
and blends harmoniously into its surroundings.

The substantial height of 65 mm, the strong outer and inner walls, and the sturdy honeycomb structure ensure
uniform load distribution. As a result, the heavy-duty lawn grid is suitable for both private construction projects and
commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.

Why Choose Verdure Core™ Heavy-Duty Lawn Grids?

The Verdure Core™ Heavy-Duty Lawn Grid 65 mm is designed for areas
where high axle loads, regular vehicle traffic, maneuvering, and continuous stress occur.
The design stabilizes the subgrade, distributes applied forces over a wide area, and protects the surface
from rutting, subsidence, and deformation.

The system is a modern alternative to traditional asphalt, concrete, or paving surfaces when, in addition to high load-bearing capacity, water permeability, ecological benefits, and a visually appealing surface are required.

• substantial height of 65 mm
• Sturdy exterior and interior walls
• even distribution of heavy loads
• Suitable for high-traffic areas
• permeable pavement
• up to approximately 85% biologically active surface area
• Can be filled with turf, crushed stone, gravel, or a mineral mix
• made from recycled PP/PE material
• for residential, commercial, and municipal projects
• an ecological alternative to fully sealed surfaces

Sturdy floor mounting for heavy loads

Areas subject to heavy use are affected not only by the weight of vehicles but also by braking forces, steering maneuvers, acceleration, repeated maneuvering, and localized loads. A standard grass paver with a low profile may not be strong enough for such applications.

The 65-mm heavy-duty lawn grid features a solid honeycomb structure with a total of 50 cells per panel. The sturdy cell walls absorb any loads that occur and distribute them evenly to the properly prepared subbase.

This results in a robust, durable, and dimensionally stable surface for frequently used parking spaces, driveways, industrial areas, and technical traffic zones.

Typical Applications

• Parking spaces for cars, vans, RVs, and trucks
• Truck Parking Spaces and Truck Parking Lots
• Bus parking lots and parking areas
• Industrial sites and manufacturing facilities
• Logistics centers and distribution centers
• internal service roads and factory access roads
• Railways, switching yards, and maneuvering areas
• Storage Areas and Commercial Outdoor Spaces
• Fire department access routes and escape routes
• green spaces open to vehicle traffic
• Road shoulders and paved shoulders
• farm roads and farmyards
• Airports, landing sites, and technical infrastructure areas
• Paddocks, horse paddocks, and animal grazing areas
• Municipal parking and traffic areas

Ecological ground stabilization instead of complete soil sealing

A key advantage of Verdure Core™ is its combination of high load-bearing capacity and natural water permeability. Rainwater can seep directly into the ground through the open cells, rather than being completely drained away over concrete or asphalt surfaces.

This helps relieve pressure on the sewer system during heavy rainfall. At the same time, a large portion of the area remains biologically active. Depending on its structure, subsoil, and fill material, the area can absorb and store water and allow it to infiltrate in a controlled manner.

With a biologically active area of up to approximately 85%, the 65-mm heavy-duty grass grid is particularly well-suited for projects that aim to combine high technical requirements with ecological goals.

Permeable traffic areas with a natural look

Verdure Core™ enables the creation of durable traffic surfaces without having to permanently seal the entire area. The cells can be filled with grass, crushed stone, gravel, or a suitable mineral mixture.

Depending on the specific project, the surface can be designed to be green, natural-mineral, or technically functional. The system is therefore suitable for modern commercial areas, logistics sites, parks, public facilities, equestrian facilities, and private construction projects.

Filled with turf, crushed stone, gravel, or a mineral mix

The choice of fill material depends on the intended use, traffic volume, and the desired appearance.

Green spaces

For green parking lots or drive-over green spaces, the cells are filled with a suitable, water-permeable growing medium and then seeded. This creates a green surface that remains both stable and driveable.

High-traffic areas

For truck parking lots, industrial sites, fire department access roads, and maneuvering areas, a mineral base consisting of suitable crushed stone, gravel, or a mineral mixture is generally recommended. The material should be selected based on the subgrade, the load, and local conditions.

Paddocks and Animal Enclosures

For paddocks and animal exercise areas, the infill can be selected based on the desired drainage, slip resistance, and intended use. For areas where animals roam, care should be taken to use a suitable infill material without sharp edges.

Why a height of 65 mm is important

The height of a lawn grid has a significant impact on its stability and load distribution. For areas subject to heavy loads, a standard lawn grid with a height of 30 or 40 mm is often insufficient.

The 65-mm height provides greater material volume, taller cell walls, and a larger contact surface. This allows any loads that occur to be better absorbed and distributed throughout the substructure.

• greater stability during continuous use
• better absorption of point loads
• more even load distribution
• lower risk of surface deformation
• greater durability during shunting maneuvers
• Suitable for trucks, fire trucks, and farm vehicles
• Professional solutions for industry and commerce

An alternative to concrete, asphalt, and paving stones

Concrete and asphalt offer high load-bearing capacity, but they seal the surface almost completely. In many cases, stormwater must be drained away via gutters, channels, or additional drainage systems.

When properly planned and installed, the Verdure Core™ heavy-duty lawn grid can serve as a water-permeable alternative. The surface remains open and, depending on the infill, can be left to grow naturally or covered with mineral-based material.

Compared to traditional paved surfaces, the system features a large, open-cell structure and thus a high proportion of water-permeable or biologically active surface area.

For businesses, planning firms, and local governments

The system is suitable not only for private parking lots but especially for professional construction projects. Architects, design firms, construction companies, municipalities, industrial companies, and operators of logistics facilities can use Verdure Core™ to create durable and permeable outdoor surfaces.

Recommended Subbase for Heavy-Duty Surfaces

A properly prepared subbase is crucial for a surface that is stable and durable over the long term. The required thickness and composition depend on several factors:

• Load-bearing capacity of the existing soil
• Planned vehicle type and vehicle weight
• Frequency of use
• Axle Loads and Shunting Movements
• Local precipitation and frost conditions
• selected filler material
• Intended use as a green space, gravel area, or traffic area

For areas subject to heavy traffic, such as truck parking lots, industrial sites, fire department access roads, or maneuvering areas, a load-bearing, layer-by-layer compacted subbase made of suitable frost-resistant material and a gravel base course is generally required.

The surface of the subbase must be level, stable, and sufficiently compacted. Unevenness can lead to localized stress and reduce the service life of the slabs.

Separation layer with geotextile

Depending on the type of soil, a suitable geotextile can be installed between the natural soil and the base course. It prevents the soil layers from mixing and can contribute to the long-term stability of the structure.

Leveling and Subbase Layer

An even base or leveling layer is created on top of the compacted subbase. This layer must be leveled so that the heavy-duty grass grid rests evenly across the entire surface and is not subjected to localized stress.

Project-Based Planning

For fire department access roads, industrial facilities, truck parking areas, and public projects, the entire installation should be tailored to local requirements by a qualified planner or a specialized contractor.

Installation of Verdure Core™ Panels

1. Inspect the existing subgrade and remove any material that is not load-bearing.
2. Prepare the substrate according to the expected load.
3. If necessary, install geotextile as a separation layer.
4. Install and compact the frost protection and base layers in layers.
5. Smoothly level the leveling coat.
6. Install Verdure Core™ panels so that they cover the entire surface and are flush with it.
7. Cut the sheets to size as needed using the appropriate tools.
8. Fill the cells evenly with the selected material.
9. Properly work in the mineral filler and refill as needed.
10. Fill the green spaces with a suitable growing medium, sow the seeds, and water them.

When installing the flooring, local soil conditions, the expected load, and the requirements of the specific project must be taken into account.

Planning Fire Department Access Routes

The heavy-duty grass paver can be used for fire department access roads and emergency routes, provided the entire structure has the required load-bearing capacity. It is not only the paver itself that is crucial, but especially the load-bearing subbase.

For public projects and those requiring permits, regional building codes, fire department regulations, and the technical requirements of the relevant authorities must be taken into account.

Truck Parking Spaces and Logistics Areas

High dynamic loads occur in truck parking lots and logistics areas. Strong forces act on the surface, particularly during maneuvering, steering while stationary, braking, and pulling away.

The solid 65-mm Verdure Core™ construction was designed for such high-traffic areas. However, a suitable subbase, as well as professional installation and backfilling, are always essential for ensuring a permanently stable surface.

Paddocks and Horse Pens

Verdure Core™ can also be used for paddocks, horse pastures, feeding areas, and high-traffic areas in animal husbandry. The grids stabilize the ground and can help reduce deep hoof prints, mud, and uneven surfaces.

For areas used by horses, a suitable, horse-friendly surface layer or fill material should be used. Sharp-edged materials should be avoided. The specific design should be adapted to the soil, drainage, and animal husbandry practices.
