Paving car parks – what do we pay attention to?
In a car park the surface is loaded simultaneously by repeated wheel loads, the shear forces of turning in and out, intense sun and torrential autumn rain. The solution: 8 cm thick paving blocks, a sufficiently thick crushed-stone base and solid, concrete-bedded edge restraints. In the traffic lanes we use a strengthened layer build-up.
Layer build-up for a car park
| Layer | Material | Thickness |
|---|---|---|
| Paving blocks | Concrete pavers to UNE-EN 1338 | 8 cm |
| Bedding layer | Grit 2/5 or 4/8 | 3–5 cm |
| Granular base (sub-base / cement-treated base) | Graded aggregate 0/32 or 0/45, compacted; cement-treated base where required | 25–40 cm |
| Formation | Compacted subgrade, cleared of topsoil | – |
