Patented System

Segmental pavers on elevated roof deck with fiberglass grating

Compaction

Containment

Drainage

Sand-set, segmental clay paver installations rely on adequately compacted base material to support the pavement under load

Compact bases and sub-bases with appropriately sized equipment

Include compaction testing in specifications

Segmental clay paver installations must be adequately contained to prevent the movement and shifting of pavers under load

Review anticipated paver traffic and specify appropriate edge restraints

Plastic edge restraints

Steel or aluminum edge restraints

Set in place concrete or stone edging

Poured in place concrete curbing

Asphalt is not a appropriate edge restraint for vehicular clay pavements

Appropriately specified clay pavers are very durable in freezing climates; poor drainage contributes to premature deterioration of paver systems and efflorescence

Slopes of 2-10% minimize standing water and yet are gradual enough to minimize joint sand loss

Consider base and sub-base material and local conditions; incorporate drainage into installation specifications

Consult the paver manufacturer before using cleaners or sealers

Use gently flowing water and a stiff bristle brush to remove dirt

Commercial cleaning agents specifically formulated for clay pavers are available for tough stains

Avoid removing joint sand while cleaning; replace joint sand as necessary

Rock salt and other ice melts will not harm clay pavers; their use may contribute to efflorescence

Remove snow with rotary brooms when possible; snow plows and blowers with rubber edges are best; do not use ice scrapers

Clay pavers are very durable

When installed over a sand setting bed and compacted aggregate base, clay paver systems allow easy access to underground utilities with limited disruption to adjacent areas

Clay pavers are easily recycled into new paving projects; the antiqued aesthetic of reclaimed clay pavers is often highly desirable

Clay pavers will not fade over time; the color specified today will be the color enjoyed in the future

Credits SS 6.1 and 6.2 Stormwater Design: Quality Control

Permeable clay pavers reduce runoff and increase on-site infiltration.

Credit SS 7.1 Heat Island Effect Non-roof

Many clay pavers have a Solar Reflectance Index of 29 or greater.

Credits MR 4.1 and 4.2 Recycled Content: 10 and 20%

Whitacre Greer pavers have a post-consumer recycled content of up to 6.25% depending on color.

Multi-shade Permeable Boardwalk Pavers are produced with 100% pre-consumer recycled material.

Third-party infiltration testing indicates:

Boardwalk Permeable capable of infiltrating 1300 inches/hour

4 x 8 x 2-1/4 Permeable capable of infiltrating 970 inches/hour

Even if 99% clogged Boardwalk Permeable and 4 x 8 x 2-1/4 Permeable are capable of infiltrating 13 and 9.7 inches/hour, respectively

North Carolina State University study indicates that initial infiltration rates can be as high as 2000 inches/hour. Infiltration rates of clogged systems can be restored with the removal and replacement of joint material

Permeable Boardwalk and 4 x 8 x 2-1/4 Permeable are ADA compliant for paver-to-paver joint widths

An engineer should be consulted for hydrology and load bearing design considerations

Situations where permeable paver systems should not exfiltrate:

When distance between permeable pavement and water supply wells, streams and wetlands is less than 100 feet horizontally

When depth from bottom of pavement base is less than 2 feet from water supply

When used directly over solid rock

When used in areas were large quantities of contaminants can directly impact the sub grade or aquifers, such as at gas stations
