  • Low maintenance and cost effective throughout the product life

  • The lightweight interlocking design enables ease and speed of installation

  • ASL Ground Reinforcement reduces the carbon footprint of a project and it is completely recyclable

Permeable design

LID compliant – offers excellent water permeation through the surface.

Application options

Open cells can be filled with either gravel or soil and seed depending on your application.

Load capacity

50,000–70,000 lbs/ft2 on a correctly specified and compacted sub-base – DIN 1072 and ISO604 certified.

Environmentally friendly

Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic.

Quality design

Curves in the design allow for absorption of heat expansion.

Stable

Connection fit improves stability once units are in position.
