Design Considerations
Boral Masonry has amassed extensive nationwide experience
in the design and manufacture of segmental pavers, and in
the development and use of appropriate laying systems. The
long-term success and performance of segmental paving
systems is reliant on the selection of a paving product
suitable for the application; the selection of the most
appropriate laying system compatible with the chosen paver,
the application and the location; and adherence to correct
installation procedures and recommended tolerances.
The following section outlines a range of design considerations,
installation methods and materials specifications which must
be addressed during the selection and design of a suitable
paving system. Detailed product information is provided
within the product specific sections of this guide.
Design Assistance
and Additional Information
Appropriate design and installation for pavers is dependant
on many factors including the location, soil characteristics,
drainage requirements, intended laying system, application
and paver choice.
A suitably qualified engineer or experienced specialist
should be consulted before design and site preparation is
undertaken.
The following information is intended as an introductory
guide for the selection and installation of Boral Paving
Systems. More detailed design information is available from
the Concrete Masonry Association of Australia (CMAA) on
their Website: www.cmaa.com.au.
Application Definitions
Pedestrian Only Paving (P)
Throughout this guide, Boral Pavers that
are suitable for Pedestrian Applications are
indicated by the icon shown here.
Segmental paving for footpaths not subject to vehicle overrun
or parking, pedestrian precincts which are completely
closed to vehicle access, residential paths and patios and
hard landscaping.
NOTE: The following sub categories are used only with ‘Pod’
laying systems. Refer to Stylestone Pavers Page B10.
Private Pedestrian Areas (P1)
Pavements within a building to which the general public
does not have access.
Public Pedestrian Areas (P2)
Pavements within a building to which the general public
has access. This includes communal areas within residential
buildings, office and institutional buildings.
Light Vehicle Traffic Paving (LT)
Throughout this guide, Boral Pavers that are
suitable for Light Vehicle Applications are
indicated by the icon shown here.
Segmental paving for areas generally subject to pedestrian
and light vehicle traffic. A small percentage of commercial
vehicle traffic is permissible provided the foundations are
appropriately designed. These areas would generally include
footpaths, domestic driveways and mall type situations.
Light Vehicle Definition
Light vehicles are those which when fully-loaded have a
gross weight less than 3 tonnes. This category includes cars,
utilities, delivery vans and some light 2-axle trucks.
Commercial Vehicle Traffic Paving (CT)
Throughout this guide, Boral Pavers that are
suitable for Commercial Vehicle Applications
are indicated by the icon shown here.
Segmental paving for pedestrian, light vehicle and
commercial vehicle traffic.
Commercial Vehicle Definition
Commercial vehicles are on-road vehicles having a gross
weight of 3 tonnes or more and which comply with state or
commonwealth legislation for the axle loads, tyre pressures
and dimensions of normal on-road vehicles.
Industrial/Heavy Vehicle Traffic Paving (IT)
Throughout this guide, Boral Pavers that are
suitable for Industrial/Heavy Traffic Applications
are indicated by the icon shown here.
These paving products are designed for the most arduous
situations such as high volume and heavy vehicle traffic,
high point loadings, and sites with poor foundation
characteristics. These products can be engineered to
suit virtually any situation including industrial, transport
and container terminals, light and heavy aircraft service
areas, public roadways etc. These systems are individually
designed, and require specialist knowledge.

Saline Environments
Throughout this guide, Boral Pavers suitable
for Pool Surround and Saline Applications are
indicated by the icon shown here.
Boral Pavers tested to AS/NZS4456.10 Determining
Resistance to Salt Attack can be used in saline
environments.
However, consideration should be given to applying an
appropriate penetrative sealer to further safeguard against
saline effects in salt pool surround applications and other
areas subject to constant saline environments.
Choosing an Appropriate
Boral Paving System
The selection of the most suitable paving system depends
on many factors, and the decision ultimately lies with the
project architect/engineer and client.
The principal factors in this process are:
Selecting a paving product with appropriate characteristics
and durability to suit the application and the expected
traffic type and volume.
Selecting a paving product which meets the aesthetic
and cost requirements of the client and the design.
Selecting an appropriate laying system to suit the site
sub-base characteristics, load carrying capacity and
intended traffic conditions, and which is compatible with
the chosen pavers.
� NOTE: Please refer to the following summary of ‘Laying
Systems’, together with the ‘Fast Find’ table and ‘Products
at a Glance’ on Pages A3, A4 and A5 in this guide.
About Laying Systems
Segmental Pavement Laying Systems can be divided into
two main categories, ‘Flexible’ and ‘Rigid’. This guide
provides introductory information for laying Boral Pavers
with the following flexible laying systems.

About Flexible Laying Systems
Probably the most common laying method is a flexible
system employing either a roadbase or concrete base course
and unbound bedding sand. This method has been employed
with great success since the inception of segmental pavers.
It caters for numerous applications, and the flexible nature of
these systems enables greater tolerance during installation.
These systems can be used with many Boral Pavers in
pedestrian and light vehicle applications. Installation
procedures and specifications are provided later in this
section.
About Flexible Laying Systems using Pods
In some pedestrian applications, pavers can be laid on pods
over a concrete base course. These pods support the pavers
at all four corners, and also provide gaps between the pavers
allowing drainage to the cavity below. Boral recommends the
use of adjustable height pods in these applications. Refer to
Section B10 of this guide for additional information.
Boral Hydrapave LT Permeable Paving System
The Boral Hydrapave LT Permeable Paving System can be
used to absorb and direct stormwater to specially prepared
subsurface layers to reduce run-off, and to provide on-site
detention, treatment and various end-use options. This system
employs a special sub-base allowing for tanked and infiltration
systems. Boral Hydrapave LT is suitable for pedestrian and
light traffic applications. Product and installation information
is provided in Section F of this guide.
A design software - Permpave can assist in designing your
pavement. This program can be purchases by contacting
the CMAA on their website: www.cmaa.com.au.
Industrial and Heavy Vehicle Applications
Boral Interpave 80 and Pavestone 80 form have a long
history of success utilising flexible paving systems. These
industrial and heavy traffic pavers can be engineered to cater
for the most difficult and arduous applications providing the
advantages of a flexible system, including elimination of
shrinkage, cracking and joint stepping, while maintaining
ready access to underground services. These products are
detailed in Section G of this guide. Extensive design and
installation information (including the ‘Lockpave’ program)
has been developed by the Concrete Masonry Association
of Australia. This information can be obtained by contacting
the CMAA on their website www.cmaa.com.au

Installation Guidelines for

Unbound Sand
� For details on the materials specified in these guidelines, please
refer to the ‘Materials Specification’ later in section B.
Drainage
Surface Run-Off
Paving should be installed so that water will not pond within
the paved area. Adequate falls toward designated water
channels and/or stormwater drains should be provided in
the base course and/or levelling screed.
Bedding Sand Drainage
After extended rainfall, water can penetrate the joints and
enter the bedding sand, particularly when the pavement
is new. This can result in movement of the bedding sand
and rocking of the pavers under traffic. The water captured
bedding sand layer should be drained into the drainage
system. Refer to Fig B1 and Fig B2 for recommended
drainage methods.
The use of geofabrics is recommended in this application to
ensure there is no erosion of the bedding or jointing sand
via the drainage of water from the bedding sand.
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints are generally not required when pavers are laid
over unbound bedding sand and 3-5mm joints are incorporated
between adjacent pavers. This system allows flexible movement
of the pavers for expansion and contraction.

In large areas of flexible paving where expansion and
contraction is to be expected, control joints should be
considered.
Edge Restraint
Edge restraints should be provided around the periphery of
pavements to the full depth of the paver and bedding sand.
Edge restraints should be capable of preventing the loss of
bedding sand and preventing the sideways movement of the
pavers. The edge restraints must also be capable of accepting
the design traffic loads. Edge restraints should be in place
prior to installing the bedding sand where possible.
Some important detailing requirements for edge restraints
include:
Following compaction, the top of pavers should finish
2-3mm above the abutting top surface of the edge
restraint to which they are draining so that water will
not pond on the pavement.
The edge restraint should have a vertical or near-vertical
side on the face that abuts the pavers.
The base course should extend below the edge restraint
for its full width (to minimise the likelihood of the edge
restraint itself being disturbed) except in situations such
as walls or pits.
Where the edge restraint is in the form of a standard
road-authority kerb, gutter/channel or dish drain, the
requirements of that authority in relation to concrete
quality should be followed. Elsewhere the use of a Grade
N32 concrete is recommended.

Types of Edge Restraint
Suitable edge restraints include:
Adjacent Structures (such as buildings and/or foundation
slabs).
Concrete Kerbs or Channels (site-formed).
Mortar formed into an on-site edge restraint.
Timber (suitable for in-ground use).
Base Course
The base course can be either compacted roadbase material,
an existing pavement, or a new or existing well-drained
concrete slab. The base course must be designed and built
in accordance with good engineering practice.
If the base is designed using a segmental concrete paving
program, the contribution to strength from the pavers shall
be ignored.
The foundation soil type should be taken into consideration
at design stage in all systems, particularly in flexible
systems where concrete is not used. Boral recommends
that geotechnical soil testing results should be obtained to
confirm a visual inspection.
Pedestrian Applications: Good construction practice and
experience dictates that the minimum requirement is 75mm
thickness of granular base course material compacted to
92% of modified maximum dry density. Alternatively, a
60mm thick concrete slab reinforced with fibre mesh can
be used to ensure satisfactory performance.
Light Traffic Applications: The thickness of the base
course will depend on the quality of the existing insitu
foundation material. Experience has shown that a granular
base course of at least 100mm thickness compacted to 96%
of modified maximum dry density, or 75mm reinforced
concrete is required to ensure satisfactory performance.
Local soil conditions should be taken into account.
Commercial Traffic Applications: These systems must
be designed by a suitably qualified engineer to suit the
location and application.
Base Course Levels
The finished level of the base course should be within
0-5mm of the required level. If the base is higher, then it
must be cut down to the correct level and re-compacted. If
the base is too low or excessively uneven, then a levelling
screed will be required to bring it to the correct level.
Planning and Design
BOOK

PAGE
B5
Compaction of Roadbase: If a plate compactor is used,
compaction of roadbase should be carried out on layers of
50mm maximum thickness. For compaction of layers greater
than 50mm thickness, heavier compaction machinery will
be required.
Bedding Course/Bedding Sand
It is critical that the base course be checked for level and
any deficiencies rectified before spreading of bedding sand
commences. Large variations in base level (>5mm) must
not be corrected with sand as this will result in variable
compaction which can also cause excessive lipping.
Stockpiled sand should be protected from excessive changes
in moisture content. At the time of spreading and screeding,
the sand should have uniform moisture content. The bedding
sand should be spread loosely to a uniform depth and
screeded to the nominated design profile with sufficient
surcharge to allow for compaction to a thickness of 20mm
(±2 mm).
A small surcharge of sand should be maintained in front
of the leading edge of the screeding equipment across its
full width during the screeding. Any depressions in the
screeding sand exceeding 5mm should be loosened, raked
and re-screeded before laying of the paving units.
Bedding sand should be screeded slightly ahead of the
paving being laid, and maintained in a loose condition at
a uniform density and protected from pre-compaction by
pedestrian traffic or heavy rain. Any pre-compacted sand
or screeded sand left overnight should be removed and
replaced with fresh loose sand.
Laying Pavers in
Unbound Bedding Sand
All full sized paving units should be laid first, prior to cutting
of edge pieces.
Pavers to be laid on sand should have a joint width of
3-5mm. This nominal joint width is to ensure full filling of
the voids. Some pavers have nibs to provide touch alignment
of paving units. Pavers without nibs should be placed with
the nominal joint so that they do not come into contact with
adjoining units.
Correct paver alignment must be maintained using a grid
of stringlines.

Planning and Design
BOOK
3
PAGE
B6
Should it be necessary to manipulate individual paving units
to ensure correct joint alignment and spacing, a wide blade
instrument should be used. Under no circumstances should
screwdrivers or other instruments be used. They are likely
to cause damage to the finished edge of the paver.
Allow for up to 5% of damaged and/or unsuitable pavers. To
minimise wastage, damaged paving units should be placed
to one side and used for cuts.
Bedding/Compaction of Pavers
To ensure complete filling of the joints, both the joint filling
sand and paving units should be as dry as practicable.
Ideally, joint filling and compaction should be carried out
prior to the completion of each days lay.
The paving units should be compacted and brought to level
using a high frequency, low amplitude, vibrating plate
compactor, passing repeatedly over the entire surface until full
compaction is achieved. The base plate should be approximately
600mm x 460mm and a suitable resilient material such as
carpet or rubber mat should be provided between the vibrating
plate and the paving units for a cushioning effect. A thin
layer of joint filling sand should be spread evenly over the
paving units prior to compaction to aid the movement of the
compactor and minimise surface damage.
� Do not over compact in an attempt to bring uneven
pavers to level. If pavers are proud or depressed by more
than 2mm, the paver must be lifted and the sand bed
adjusted. The sand bed should be of adequate depth to
accommodate variations in thickness of pavers.
Compaction should be undertaken as soon as reasonably
practicable after placing paving units. Compaction should not
be performed closer than one metre from any unrestrained
edge. Compaction and/or correction should continue until
lipping has been minimised between adjoining paving
units.
� As noted previously, variation in the thickness of the
bedding sand will result in excessive lipping and must
be avoided.
Any paving units not complying with the acceptance criteria
or damaged during compaction, should be immediately
removed and replaced. Where possible these pavers can be
used for cuts, thereby minimising wastage.
Extra care should be taken to ensure that the paving units
do not settle below the level of any abutting fixture.

Materials Specification
In the absence of detailed project specifications, the following
material properties can be used as a guide to assist with
preliminary designs. Additional recommendations can be
found in CMAA literature at www.cmaa.com.au
Granular Base Course (Roadbase)
Unbound granular base course material shall comply fully
with the requirements of a Class A material as set out in
Table B1. This information is representative of specifications
issued by Australian road authorities.
To maximise the use of economically-available materials
and as specifications vary among State and Municipal
Authorities, the following information should be used as
a guide only. Designers should take into account local
specifications, materials available and experience. Granular
materials should comply with local requirements for base
course for an asphalt-surfaced pavement. The material may
be either a crushed quarry material or a natural gravel.

The base course should be compacted to not less than 92%
of modified maximum dry density to AS1289 for Class A
granular base material in pedestrian paving applications,
and to not less than 96% of modified maximum dry density
for light vehicle applications.
Bedding Sand (Washed River Sand)
The bedding sand should be a clean, well graded, angular
sand, non-plastic, free from deleterious materials such
as stones, tree roots, clay lumps and excessive organic
material.
The bedding sand should conform as close as practical to
the grading detailed in Table B2.
Table B2 — Bedding Sand Properties
Sieve Size % Passing
9.52mm 100
4.75mm 90 — 100

600 microns 35 — 59
300 microns 8 — 30
150 microns 0 — 10
75 microns 0 - 2
The sand grading shown above is a recommendation only.
The final selection of sand for bedding is dependent upon the
grades commercially available in the region. In the absence
of other indications of suitability, concreting sands which
comply with the requirements of the Concrete Structures
Code, AS3600 for fine aggregates, and having less than
4% of material passing the 75 micron sieve should prove
suitable.
The sand shall be free of soluble salts or other contaminants
that can cause or contribute to efflorescence.
Where the pavement is to carry commercial vehicle traffic,
the proportion of material smaller than 75 microns shall
not exceed 2%. Bedding course sand should have a moisture
content not exceeding 8% and be kept reasonably constant
throughout the laying process.
� Bricklayers sand and single sized dune sands are
NOT suitable.

Joint Filling Sand
The joint filling sand should be a clean, fine-graded round
sand, free from deleterious materials such as clay and
soluble salts or other contaminants, which can cause or
contribute to efflorescence or staining.
The joint filling sand should conform as close as practical
to the following grading:
Table B3 — Jointing Sand Properties
Sieve Size % Passing
2.36mm 100
1.18mm 90 — 100
600 microns 75 — 100
300 microns 55 — 90
150 microns 35 — 59
75 microns 8 — 30
The sand grading shown above is a recommendation only.
The final selection of sand for jointing is dependent upon
the grades commercially available in the region.
� The use of rigid jointing compounds is NOT recommended
with flexible pavement installations.

Flexible Laying System (Pods)
Installation Guidelines for
Pavers laid on Pods
Introduction
Boral Stylestone pavers and Promenade pavers installed
with pod laying systems are suitable for private and public
pedestrian applications up to breaking load of 4.5kN as
per AS1170.
The dimensional accuracy of Stylestone pavers ensures
ease of use and excellent performance with pod laying
systems.
Height adjustable pods should be used so that adjustment
can be made to ensure that all pavers are evenly supported
at each corner, and to allow for small variations in the base
course level.
Drainage
One of the primary applications for pod laying systems
is to provide drainage via joint gaps between pavers into
the cavity created beneath the pavers. When pod laying
systems are used externally, the slab must have sufficient
falls towards drains to prevent ponding of water under the
pavers.
Base Course
The base course should be a new or existing concrete slab,
designed and built in accordance with good engineering
practice.
It is important that the surface of the concrete under the
pavers be reasonably smooth to allow suitable placement
of pods.
Waterproof Membrane
If required, install a suitable waterproof membrane over the
concrete slab. Refer to your project engineer for details.
Waterproof membrane
if required
Boral Stylestone
pavers
Laying Pavers
Pavers are to be laid with open joints between adjacent units
to allow for drainage. These gaps are generally controlled
by spacers built into the pods.
Height of pod is to be adjusted to ensure that the pavers are
evenly supported all round.
All full sized paving units should be laid first, prior to cutting
edge pieces. Correct paver alignment must be maintained
using a grid of stringlines.
Pavers shall be placed so that the difference in level between
any two adjacent units shall not exceed 2mm. Should it be
necessary to manipulate individual paving units to ensure
correct joint alignment, spacing or level, a wide blade
instrument should be used. Under no circumstances should
screwdrivers or other instruments be used. They are likely
to cause damage to the finished edge of the paver.
Allow for up to 5% damaged and/or unsuitable pavers. To
minimise wastage, damaged paving units should be placed
to one side and used for cuts.
Material Specification for Pods
Paver spacer/drainer pods can either be of fixed height type
or of a type which permits height adjustment.
Height adjustable pods are recommended.
Suitable height adjustable pods include Polypads
manufactured by Tremco Pty Ltd, Tel (02) 9638 2755 for
additional information.
Pod
Reinforced concrete slab
Fig B4 — Stylestone Paving Laid with Pods on Reinforced Concrete Slab
Concrete to fall to drain

Cutting of Pavers
Pavers should be cut where necessary using a wet saw (or
disc cutter with dust extraction equipment). All operators
should wear approved safety equipment.
Any paving units that are cut must be cleaned of any slurry
residue to avoid potential staining of the surface and lack
of adhesion to the bedding mix or adhesive.
For large format pavers, cut pavers should be placed in areas
away from traffic. If this cannot be done then the minimum
plan area of the cut pavers should not be less than 50% of
the normal (uncut) plan area.
Where less than 25% of the paver needs to be cut away it
may be used as a single flat. Where more than 25% of the
paver must be cut away with a re-entrant corner then the
remaining shape must be mitre-cut into two pieces. The cut
should extend from the internal corner of the cut out toward
the external corner of the paver, as detailed in Fig B5.

Patterns
Pattern Selection
B12
For driveway applications, Herringbone pattern offers the
best resistance to lateral loads. Stretcher bond courses
should be laid across the traffic flow.
Pattern selection for pedestrian-only applications is primarily
an aesthetic decision combined with available paver
dimensions. Boral Masonry pavers come in many shapes
and various plan dimensions and thicknesses to suit all
possible applications.
In general, patterns laid on the diagonal and those requiring
many cuts will take longer to lay and therefore will be more
difficult and more expensive to install.
Popular Patterns
Maintaining Pattern Alignment
The use of string lines at no more than 5m centres in each
direction, in conjunction with edge-restraints laid correctly
to line and level, will assist in maintaining control of
alignment and bond and will assist in the maintenance of
correct and adequate joint spacing.
Changes In Grade
Design your own paving pattern or use these popular patterns to create a paving feature.
Stretcher Bond �
(rectangular pavers)
Stretcher Bond �
(square pavers)
To accommodate abrupt changes in grade and to ensure
that the finished project is aesthetically pleasing without
‘lipping’ of the pavers, the pavers with a smaller plan
dimension may be required. This should be achieved by
specifying a smaller paver size in the area of gradient change
or selective cutting of pavers. In areas carrying traffic the
reduced plan dimensions should remain proportional to the
original paving dimensions.

Cleaning and Sealing of Pavers
To ensure optimum appearance and low maintenance, Boral
Masonry recommends the use of KLEN cleaning and sealing
products which have been purpose designed for use on
Boral concrete pavers. For details of stockists contact KLEN
Tel: 1800 819 939 in Queensland and New South Wales,
and 1800 999 196 in other states.
WARNING: Hydrochloric acid is NOT recommended
for use with concrete pavers as irreparable surface
damage may occur.
The following tables provide a guide for the use of KLEN
products, which must be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Always conduct a small
test on an inconspicuous area before full scale application.
KLEN and Boral Ltd strongly recommend the use of
experienced applicators.

Colour and Finish Variation
Concrete pavers are manufactured from naturally occuring
materials and consequently may show variations in finish
and colour.
It is strongly recommended that products are taken from
two or more packs and mixed during laying to minimise
noticeable colour variations.
All concrete products may suffer from efflorescence. This
occurs naturally and will disappear with use. It is in no
way detrimental to the performance of the product. No
responsibility can be accepted for this natural reaction.
Colour and Texture Variations
The colours shown in this brochure are provided as an
indication of the colours and textures available. Some
variations in colour will occur due to changes in raw
materials. In addition, variation can occur within and
between production batches due to the curing process.
Please ask to see a sample of your chosen colour/texture
before specifying or ordering.

Hydrapave
The Hydrapave system allows storm water to infiltrate
through small channels formed in the ends of the concrete
pavers and through a filter treatment as it passes into a
prepared sub-base. The water can then pass through a
secondary filter into suitable subgrade or be stored for
controlled release or harvested for non-portable use.
Alternative systems provide for:
Detention/treatment/infiltration into the surrounding
natural soil;
Detention/treatment/discharge to stormwater system;
Detention/treatment/reuse;
Detention/treatment/infiltration and overflow discharge;
Detention/treatment/secondary treatment/discharge or
re-use.
Hydrapave Paving benefits:
Drains up to 4,500mm/hr or 1.25 litres/sec/m2. Low life-cycle cost including low maintenance cost.
No need to upsize culverts or water courses.
On-site natural treatment of pollutants.
Control of run-off to eliminate flooding.
Elimination of surface ponding.
Reduces potential for erosion and silt deposition.
No need for detention pits.
Safe collection, detention and discharge with no dangerous
open drains or pits.
Roof water can also be discharged into sub-base.

Alternative Hydrapave
Systems
There are two main types of systems.
Infiltration Systems are intended for applications
where the stormwater is to be allowed to infiltrate
back into the water table.
Tanked Systems are intended for applications where
the stormwater is to be collected for re-use or for
controlled release.
Typical Infiltration System
This system is underlaid with a filter
fabric layer and is suitable for use
where water it is proposed to infiltrate
directly into a suitable sub-grade.
Direct infiltration rates of up to
800mm per hour can be achieved
in these systems even after many
years of service (depending on
suitable native sub-grade).
The specification of the filter fabric
may vary according to the application,
end-use or site. Refer to your project
engineer for specification.
Typical Tanked System
This system is underlaid by an
impermeable plastic membrane
and is suitable for use where it
is proposed to detain stormwater
before releasing it in a controlled
manner, or where it is proposed to
harvest the water for re-use.
The type of membrane used and
the method of sealing will depend
upon the excavated surface. In some
circumstances the membrane will
require sand bedding or geotextile
protection from puncturing
and specialist advice should be
obtained.
The impermeable membrane prevents
water from entering the sub-grade,
and preserves sub-grade structural
integrity.

Applications
Boral Hydrapave stormwater site control systems are suitable
for use on car parks, footpaths, pedestrian concourses,
domestic drives, garages and other light to medium duty
applications.
Boral Hydrapave is suitable for installation with a maximum
1 in 12 slope (5°). On sites exceeding 1 in 20 slope, or where
turning traffic is expected, reinforcement of the subgrade
using geogrid is recommended. Refer to the illustration
below.
On-site Water Treatment
When installed, the Hydrapave system is capable of draining
up to 2.5 litres/sec/m 2 ensuring it has the capacity to deal
with rainfall intensities well in excess of the most extreme
Australian urban design conditions (Darwin, 100 year
storm, 10 minute duration).
The sub-base has a reservoir capacity of approximately
30%. As a quick rule of thumb, 10m 2 of Hydrapave system
with a sub-base depth of 350mm will accommodate 1 cubic
metre of water.
Where it is proposed to shed stormwater from impermeable
surfaces onto areas of Hydrapave, it is recommended that a
maximum ratio of 2:1 impermeable to Hydrapave be used.
Consideration must be given to the increased loading on
the Hydrapave system in these cases.
The Hydrapave system provides effective on-site water
treatment in the following ways:
Organic matter and loam are caught on the filter fabric
and held in the layer of 5mm aggregate.
Oils and heavy metals coat the surface of the organic
matter and loam.
Natural microbial filament growth in the sub-base digests
low level hydrocarbon pollution.
Severe hydrocarbon contamination can be treated by
seeding with specialist microbes and slow release
fertilisers. Specialist advice should be obtained.

Hydrapave Permeable Paving
BOOK

PAGE
F6
The water harvested from tanked Hydrapave systems can
generally be used for non-potable purposes such as flushing
lavatories, irrigation of lawns and plants. Testing should
be carried out after installation to ensure that appropriate
water quality will be discharged.
Roof Water
Roof water from typical domestic residences can be
discharged directly onto the Hydrapave surface or into the
sub-base.
Roof runoff from large industrial buildings should be
introduced into the sub-base by means of a sump with a
manhole cover adjacent to the paved area. Any roof litter,
leaves etc., contained in the runoff can be easily caught and
cleared in the manhole.
Tree Soil
The Hydrapave system has been widely used in conjunction
with load bearing tree soil. This enables hard surfacing to
be used right up to tree pits without being detrimental to
the trees.
Soil respiration and moisture availability are key elements
in the successful establishment and future growth of trees.
With other hard surface paving systems, the only access for
air and water has been through the tree grill or irrigation
system. However, with the use of permeable paving blocks,
soil respiration is dramatically improved and natural rainfall
is made available to the tree in a way that was previously
not possible.
Long-term Performance
Extensive research on the siltation of blocks and laying
course undertaken at the University of South Australia
has verified the long-term performance of the Hydrapave
system. This research assumed rainfall of 580mm per
annum with a loading of 200 parts per million of sediments
(this loading corresponds to that of an established urban
catchment). The results concluded that even after a thirty
five year service life, the permeability of the system was
reduced to approximately 800mm/hour, due to the siltation
of the filter fabric, a value still greater than the design storm
intensity used anywhere in Australia.
This research has shown that over 90% of the surface
permeability of the paving can be lost through silting, and
the system will still perform to twice the greatest design
storm intensity used in Australia. (Darwin 400mm/hr).
Salt Tested
Boral Hydrapave Pavers have been tested to AS/NZS4456.10
and can be used in saline environments.
Boral recommends applying an appropriate penetrative
sealer to further safeguard against saline effects in salt
pool surround applications and other constant saline
environments.
Colour and Finish Variation
Hydrapave pavers are manufactured from naturally
occurring materials and consequently may show slight
variations in finish and colour.
It is strongly recommended that products are taken from
two or more packs and mixed during laying to minimise
noticeable colour variations.
All concrete products may suffer from efflorescence. This
occurs naturally and will disappear with use. It is in no
way detrimental to the performance of the product. No
responsibility can be accepted for this natural reaction.
Scheduled Maintenance
Hydrapave pavers have a design life equivalent to other
Boral concrete pavers.
The surface of pavers should be brushed at least twice a
year with a mechanical suction brush. It is recommended
that this should be carried out in the spring and after leaf
fall in autumn.
Rehabilitation
Access to services in or underneath the Hydrapave system
must be undertaken in a disciplined and progressive way.
Detailed procedures for lift and rehabilitation are available
from your Boral representative.
Ultimately, perhaps after 25 years or more, areas of the
laying course may become filled with silts and toxins. If this
occurs the surface pavers should be lifted and the affected
areas of laying-course material and filter fabric disposed of.
The existing sub-base can be left in situ. Fresh filter fabric
and laying course stone should be installed and the existing
surface pavers re-used.

Hydrapave
Construction Guidelines
Preparation
All construction work on pavements should be carried out
following completion of general site works and after topsoiling
of adjacent areas to prevent wash down of fine materials.
Sub-grade
Excavate to sub-grade levels shown on site drawings to
provide a minimum fall of 1:1000 to strip drain. Where
it is proposed to infiltrate, no falls or strip drains are
necessary.
The subgrade should be compacted with a vibrating plate
or roller to the requirements of the specification. Prior to
compaction all soft areas should be removed and filled with
suitable replacement material to provide a stable subgrade.
Kerbs
The paved areas must be firmly restrained with kerbs and
kerb haunching designed to suit the intended use.
Membrane
For tanked systems, lay membrane taking care to overlap
the joints by 300mm using double-sided tape. Where
methane or a high water table is present, a specialist heavyduty
membrane may be required, and the joints should be
welded. Where the sub-grade is rough, a layer of sand and/or
geotextile may be required to protect the membrane. A filter
fabric layer can be placed over the membrane to protect
against puncture damage from the sub-base.
If it is proposed to drain by infiltration to the sub-grade, use
a filter fabric (instead of membrane) to stop the ingress of
sub-grade material into the sub-base.
Sub-base
The sub-base is comprised of two layers with a total nominal
thickness of 350mm. The specified 350mm thickness of
sub-base may be varied by the project engineer to suit
site requirements.
The upper sub-base is a layer of 20 — 5mm stone up to
100mm thick.
The lower layer is to be (63 — 10mm) stone up to 250mm
thick. The lower layer of sub-base should be placed in two
separate layers, each layer being compacted with a vibrating
roller or heavy-duty vibrating plate. Compaction should
continue until 95% of the compacted bulk density achievable
under laboratory conditions has been reached.
Filter Fabric
Hydrapave Permeable Paving
BOOK
3
PAGE
F7
Lay filter fabric on top of the sub-base overlapping joints
by 300mm.
Bedding Course
Lay and loose screed 5mm single sized crushed stone
to approximately 50mm depth. It is important that the
final level of the 5mm stone is accurate, as the stone will
compact down much less than sand would when the pavers
are vibrated. The particle shape of the 5mm stone will also
affect the degree of compaction. A small trial area should
be laid prior to construction to determine the accuracy of
final levels.
Paver Laying
Hydrapave pavers must be laid in a 90° herringbone pattern,
tightly butt jointed to ensure that a close fit is achieved.
A single header course or double stretcher course of
Hydrapave pavers must be used around the perimeter of
the paved areas and also at the edges of any separately
restrained areas, such as tree pits.
It is strongly recommended that products are taken from
two or more packs and mixed during laying to minimise
noticeable colour variations.
Where pavers need cutting, they should be cut to a tight
fit and none are to be smaller than 30% of the paver size.
Where Hydrapave pavers are cut they must be cut across the
110mm and not the 220mm dimension. Pavers should be
cut vertically and not underscored. All paver cutting should
be carried out with a disc cutter. Occupational, health and
safety requirements should be observed at all times.
Paver Compaction
The pavers should be vibrated with a high-frequency, lowamplitude
vibrating plate compactor, over carpet or similar
to prevent marking the paver surface. Following the first
pass with a vibrating plate, spread a light dressing of 3mm
single size clean stone at the rate of approximately 1 - 2
kg/m 2 over the surface and brush into the joints. The pavers
should again be vibrated and any debris brushed off.
