UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Pavers

UrbanGreen™ Grass and Gravel Pavers

Permeable pavers for surface infiltration

UrbanGreen
The UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Paver plastic grid system is an innovative, ecologically sound solution for permeable paving. Versatility, durability and ease of use are all engineered into the UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Paver for exceptional performance under extreme conditions. The system provides virtually unlimited use, durability and a competitive price.

The UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Paving system is a step above other plastic grid systems available on the market today. Years of dedication to design and testing have produced a light-weight plastic paver with unmatched strength and durability. The unique design of this permeable paving system creates a fully functional and cost effective alternative to conventional paving.

The system qualifies for several LEED credits and is considered to be a low impact development (LID) technology. By providing a traffic bearing surface, it resists compaction while contributing to significant runoff reduction.

Benefits of the UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Pavers:
  • Easy installation – conforms to irregular surfaces
  • Incredible load bearing strength – over 6,700 psi capacity when filled
  • Protection of plant root zone system – grass paving applications
  • ADA compliant – gravel paving application
  • Versatile design – paving and greenroof applications
  • Lightweight construction – cost effective to ship and install
  • Unique connection system – allows for expansion and contraction

Surface Infiltration - Permeable Pavers for LID Designs

UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Paver LID DesignThe UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Pavers (UG GGP) combine filtration and infiltration capabilities with the high strength, lightweight construction of a plastic grid, making it an optimal choice for residential drives, intermittent parking lots and other low-frequency traffic applications. The system offers high strength, easy installation and proven performance.

Permeable Pavers for Surface Infiltration

UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Paver Subsurface InfiltrationCreate a durable pervious surface with the UrbanGreen Grass and Gravel Pavers to facilitate stormwater infiltration while maintaining the functionality of vehicular use.

 

SS Credit 6.1 – Stormwater Quantity Control, 1 Point

Intent – Limit disruption of natural hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, reducing or eliminating pollution from stormwater runoff and eliminating contaminants.

Potential contribution: CONTECH Permeable Pavers
  • Reduce runoff quantity by decreasing pervious area
  • Utilize in low traffic areas, overflow parking lots, fire lanes and residential drives

SS Credit 7.1 – Heat Island Effect - Non-Roof, 1 Point
SS Credit 7.2 – Heat Island Effect - Roof, 1 Point

Intent – Reduce heat islands to minimize impacts on microclimates and habitats.

Potential contribution: CONTECH Permeable Pavers
  • Utilize on non-roof and roof applications
  • Create surface with high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI)
