Bodpave™ 85

Interlocking porous plastic paving system for ground reinforcement which can be installed with either a grass or gravel filled surface.

Overview

Bodpave™ 85 permeable pavers are manufactured in the UK from UV Stabilised 100% recycled HDPE. Bodpave® 85 porous paving provides a durable, safe and environmentally friendly surface for trafficked areas with a very low carbon footprint. The open cell structure provides high surface water infiltration and is suitable for source control within a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS).

Features, Benefits & Design

Product Features

  • Strong and durable connection with 24 interlocking points per paver. Allows excellent lateral transfer of traffic loads
  • 18 ground spikes per paver, giving outstanding shear connection with the ground and allowing slopes up to 1:8 / 12% / 7°. Thus, generally no pinning required
  • High load bearing capacity of 400 tonnes per m2 that resists heavy loads and high tyre pressure.
  • Flexible design: rather than cutting pavers at corners Bodpave™85 can be offset by one-cell increments to fit around obstacles while still maintaining strong connections to adjacent pavers.
  • Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable polymers making it highly sustainable, non-toxic and chemically inert to chemicals naturally found in soils

Product Benefits

  • Sustainably and locally manufactured in the UK, reducing transport carbon emissions.
  • Rapid and easy installation given its delivery in 4 pre-connected pavers of 1m2.
  • Suitable for any climate with high resistance to temperature changes due to its absorption of expansion and contraction properties
  • High permeability due to its open cell structure that reduces the risk of flooding and promotes optimum grass growth, root protection and surface stabilisation.
  • User friendly: easy to install, cost effective and doesn't require planning permission to be installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What markers are available for parking bays?

Snap-fit markers are available for both Bodpave 40 and 85. Different methods for delineating parking bays are available for Truckpave installations including the use of different coloured aggregate and conventional line painting.

What makes TERRAM Bodpave/Truckpave better than alternatives?

Market leading TERRAM porous paving products have been subjected to rigorous laboratory tests to determine their suitability for use and have been installed on numerous projects throughout the UK for decades with a proven track record. TERRAM provides site specific design advice based upon decades of experience to ensure a successful installation. TERRAM offers impartial design advice and will only suggest the use of porous plastic paving for appropriate projects. 

What Porous Paving Grids should I use?

Generally Bodpave 40 units are ideal for car parking bays and overspill car parks, Bodpave 85 units for car/coach parking and occasional HGV overrun, Truckpave for Lorry, coach and car parks. Please see the TERRAM product selector for more details.

What vehicle weights will the units support?

All TERRAM Bodpave and Truckpave units can support light vehicles as the gravel or structural soil fill carries most of the load. TERRAM Bodpave 85 and Truckpave units can support occasional and regular HGV overrun respectively. It is more important to consider the dynamic loadings resulting from turning, braking, accelerating and slewing (“dry” steering).

What is compressive strength?

In the context of paving units, compressive strength is a measurement of the maximum load a unit can transmit downwards without breaking or crushing excessively. It is important to apply a factor of safety when comparing the maximum or ultimate compressive strength vs the anticipated loading or the units will deflect excessively.
