Gravel Stabilisation
Prep & Installation
STEPS 1 & 2
• Stabilised gravel honeycombs
elements should be placed on
suitable, compacted previously
constructed sub base (see opposite
for sub base options).
• Sub base should receive a lightly
compacted blinding layer of up to
25 - 30mm of sharp sand or
limestone/granite fines.
• Units should be bedded onto
blinded surface, in a flat layer, to a
slight fall if required.
• Stabilised gravel honeycombs units
are then overfilled with selected
gravel to a recommended depth.
• Gravel requirements will be
between 55kg/m² and 75kg/m²
depending on system used.
• After the honeycombs are filled, the
surface should receive a misting of
water to wash through any residual
sand.
• Accelerate consolidation by a single
pass with a plate vibrator or similar
light compaction aid.
Step 1. The panels are placed on the prepared sub base. Each panel has projecting
flaps of membrane. Subsequent panels should be laid on these overlaps to inhibit
weed growth between trays and aid product stability.
Step 2. The retaining edging keeps the panels in place. All our systems can be cut
easily with a power or hand saw to conform to any shape required.
STEP 3 STEP 4
Step 3. The vehicles / wheelbarrows used to deliver the gravel can be driven over
the filled panels. The most effective way of filling them is from the front. This helps
to compact the gravel already laid with each subsequent trip.
Step 4. The gravel is then simply spread out across the honeycombs with an overfill
of approximately 10 to 20mm to protect the panels and conceal them from sight.
