GEOGRAVEL
VISION
The houses we live in, the roads we travel everyday, the areas where we work, where we usually meet and have fun can’t
forget the most important resource of our planet: water. It falls from the sky, it leaks through the ground and then it regener-
ates through an unalterable cycle that was born with the Earth.

Geoplast works everyday to guarantee all the comfort you and the next generations need in an healthy and safe environ-
ment.

ADVICE TO GET A BETTER
RESULT
The sand bedding needs to be compacted and levelled in
order to avoid the lifting of the elements

During the grids installation, an expansion joint should

be placed at 3-5 cm from the kerbs
In the case of large surfaces it would be appropriate to
frame areas of about 30 sqm and provide them with ex-
pansion joints in order to place the grids without hooking
them (you should keep them at a distance of about 1 cm
from one another)
GEOGRAVEL can be easily shaped in proximity to kerbs
or wells

If the filling material finishes, you need to add more of it

because the grids have to be completely covered

Fill the cells with gravel, 3 cm over the edge. The grids
needs to be completely covered
