Installation guidelines

General principles

Installation design for Elite Deterrent block paving varies according to the following factors:

  • Application type (eg. footway or carriageway fitment).
  • Specific traffic control needs.
  • Block type: Format 2 or 3 (see product data).

Application types

Format 2: (aggressive profile) anti-vehicular/unauthorised trolley removal deterrent.
Format 3: Deterrent paving for all environments.

Laying design

The intended deterrent surface is created by laying blocks as follows:

  • Format 2: Half or third-bonded. The latter creates easier-to-sweep channels for litter/dirt removal.
  • Format 3: Lay as Category 4 paving. Refer to flag paving installation details.

Design detailing

Detailed drawings are available on request from Charcon Hard Landscaping.
Contact Technical Services Department on: Telephone 01335 372222.

Installation design

Edge restraints

Suitable kerbing or edge restraints are required. Most proprietary kerbing, channelling or edging systems are suitable, including the following Charcon systems:

These should be bedded in concrete and haunched (see Design considerations and installation in kerb section).

Sub-grade

As for adjoining paved areas.

Sub-base

Material: granular sub-base type 1.

Compacted depth

  • 100 mm for footway applications (or as per relevant Local Authority specification).

For carriageway or access way (trolley deterrent) applications, sub-base depth is dependent on overall design of specific carriageway/access way (but 150 mm min.).

Bedding

Material: cement/sand mortar (1:3 mix)

Compacted depth:

  • Format 2 – 30 mm.
  • Format 3 – 25 mm.

Tamp down with a paviour’s maul to ensure firm bedding into mortar.
