As the Hebden 401 is quite light, it is very easy to install and can be laid at the rate of around 100m2 per person per hour.

Its modular grid system makes it easy to fit and allows rainwater to filter back to the water table, making it perfect for permeable car parks and ground protection needs.

Made in Britain from 100% recycled plastic sourced in the UK, the Hebden 401 is the highly durable, eco-friendly alternative surface for permanent and overspill car parks, private driveways, emergency vehicle access lanes, golf buggy paths, helicopter pads, cycle routes, pathways, verge stabilisation and many other uses. 

The paver is incredibly strong, able to support 250 tonnes per m2, and a 16 tonne point load.  This means the product is suitable for all UK road legal vehicles.  The Hebden 401 is the product of choice for a wide range of organisations looking to comply with the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, encouraging the use of permeable surfaces to mitigate against flooding.

The Hebden 401 allows for the easy creation of permeable hardstanding, finished with either grass or gravel allowing it to blend unobtrusively into parks, rural areas or heritage sites, unlike asphalt or block paving.  The pavers keep gravel in place, creating an even attractive surface suitable for pedestrians, wheelchair users and vehicles.

Its modular grid system makes it easy to fit and allows rainwater to filter back to the water table, making it perfect for incorporating into SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) strategies.

This type of product goes by many generic names including permeable paving, ground reinforcement, turf reinforcement mesh, porous paving, driveway reinforcement, ground stabilisation grids, sustainable path drainage, cellular paving, matrix paving, grass reinforcement, source control grids, geo-matrices, gravel protection, gravel migration prevention, grass grids and soil reinforcement, to name but a few.

This can be confusing, but what you really need to know is that the Hebden 401 can be filled with grass or gravel, then driven over, parked on and walked on whilst allowing rainwater to permeate back into the ground.

 

NB. Hebden 401 ecopaving should not be confused with effective, but often imported, products like Netlon, Netpave, Ecogrid, Gridforce, Grasstrax, GRB, GTTrax, Hoofmark, Geogrid, Golpa, Perfo, Terragrid, Ritter, GroundGuard, Bodpave, Kedel DRG, Zypave, Nidagravel, Farmura Matrix or ADPave. The Hebden 401 is manufactured in Britain using 100% British waste diverted from landfill.

The Hebden 401 should most definitely not be confused with Grasscrete which is something altogether different that uses concrete instead of recycled plastic.
