TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
STRENGTH TESTING
Hex Slab can be used indoors or outdoors for temporary or permanent installations. Independent load-bearing tests show that Hex Slab can take the weight of even SLW 60 heavy duty vehicles, depending on the ground below.
| Hex Slab type | Test load | Crack detention | Breaking force |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed | 427 psi / 27 t/ft² | None | 100 t/ft² |
| Slotted | 285 psi / 18 t/ft² | None | 67 t/ft² |
TEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
Hex Slab is quick to install, easy to dismantle and ideal for events like exhibitions, shows and fairs.
Lay Hex Slab directly onto firm, stable and level ground or flooring and use immediately. If the ground is soggy grass or soft soil, install a roll out geogrid between the ground and Hex Slab. If the ground is very soft and boggy, Hex Slab is not recommended without further ground preparation. Contact HAHN for advice.
PERMANENT APPLICATIONS
Hex Slab is strong, durable and perfect for permanent applications like drive ways and amenity areas.
» Step 1
Install an edge or curb to prevent movement of bedding materials. Make sure that the ground is strong enough to bear the expected loads. If not, lay 4–6” of free-draining compacted and levelled stone.
» Step 2
Cover the sub-base with a non-woven needle-punched geotextile layer (with 6” overlaps) to keep the sub-base and bedding layer separate. Install, compact and level a 1” bedding layer of sharp sand or grit.
» Step 3
Start from the edge or curb and install Hex Slab onto the bedding layer. Make sure the interconnecting hooks fit securely beneath each slab. Due to the hexagonal shape, a straight edge leaves a half slab gap – Hex Slab is easy to cut with a circular saw or standard woodworking tools (for tricky areas, avoid cutting to less than a third of a slab).
Work outwards from this first line, clicking further slabs together until the area is covered. For immediate use, bed the new paved area down with a nylon covered plate vibrator.
