Determine the size, shape, and intended use of finished areas (i.e. residential driveway, secondary commercial parking, etc.). B. Classify sub-grade soils. C. Document all existing conditions (i.e. fixed points, existing grades, site contours, etc.). D. Document soil type, location, and elevation of below grade and overhead utilities both public and private. E. Ensure public utilities are marked through the use of a locating service. F. Determine the cross section design of the system based on soil type and application, showing proposed sub-grade and finished grade elevations and all geotextiles and drainage pipes needed for the construction. G. Establish the type, location, and elevation of relief structures if required (i.e. overflow pipe discharging to rain garden, etc.). H. Determine the curb or edge restraint type, elevation, and location. I. Choose a pattern appropriate to the application (traffic type and load). 02 EXCAVATION A. Before digging, contact the concerned companies if wires or pipes are located in the area to be excavated. B. Excavation depth is determined from the foundation thickness according to the project specifications (foundation thickness is determined by a qualified engineer based on structural and hydrological analyses). C. Although the slope of the sub-grade will depend on the drainage design and infiltration type, a minimum slope of 0.5% (1⁄16" per ft, or 5 mm per meter) is recommended. D. The distance that the excavated area should extend beyond the area to be paved should be one to 1.5 times the thickness of the foundation. This extra space will ensure the stability of the pavers near the edge and the edge restraints. E. Level the bottom of the excavated area with a rake. Compaction will reduce the permeability of the sub-grade and it should be executed according to the project specifications. If compaction is not specified, care should be taken to maintain undisturbed soil infiltration during excavation and construction. Stabilization of the sub-grade may be required with weak, continually saturated soils, or when subject to high traffic conditions. If the compaction or stabilization of sub-grade is necessary, reduced infiltration may require drainage pipes within the sub-base to conform to storm water drainage requirements. 03 GEOTEXTILE, IMPERMEABLE LINERS, AND DRAIN PIPES A. Use the geotextile specified and install it according to project specifications. The use of a woven geotextile with bi-axel strength that meets design criteria is recommended. B. Place the geotextile on the bottom and sides of the soil sub-grade. Eliminate wrinkles in the geotextile and ensure it is not damaged during construction. C. Overlap of geotextile should be a minimum of 2' (600 mm) in the direction of drainage. Overlapping should be “shingle” style with respect to any slope direction and base stone distribution direction. Keep properly tensioned, eliminate wrinkles, and avoid damaging fabric (no spikes). D. If impermeable liners are required, install them according to project specifications and manufacturer’s instructions. Impermeable liners are used when full exfiltration from the reservoir (sub-base and base) into the underlying sub grade is not allowed (no infiltration design). Perforated drainage pipes are usually required in no infiltration and partial infiltration designs. E. If drainage pipes are required, install them according to project specifications. The aggregate cover over drainage pipes should be at least 12" (300 mm) to protect them from damage during sub-base or base compaction. SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT PERMEABLE PAVERS8787techo-bloc.comINSTALLATION GUIDE 04 SUB-BASE For residential pedestrian applications, the sub-base may not be required and then only ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base layer with a minimum thickness of 6" (150 mm) can be used (use a thicker base for additional water storage). Refer to Base (see below 06). When traffic load, soil conditions, and climate require greater than 12" (300 mm) of base or volume requirements for detention are higher, a sub-base may be required. Use sub-base ASTM No. 2 or No. 3 (CSA 40-80) meeting the following requirements: • 90% fractured symmetrical particles • Less than 5% passing the 200 sieve • Industry hardness tested A. Moisten, spread and compact the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) aggregate sub-base in minimum 6" (150 mm) lifts (without distorting or damaging the geotextile) according to the project specifications. B. Make at least two passes in the vibratory mode followed by at least two passes in the static mode with a minimum 10 ton (9 metric ton) vibratory roller, until there is no visible movement of the aggregate. Alternately, a 13,500 lbf (60 kN) plate compactor can be used to compact the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) aggregate sub-base. C. Do not allow the compactor to crush the aggregate. D. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 2 (CSA 40-80) sub-base should be ± 2 1⁄2" (64 mm) over 10' (3 m). 05 EDGE RESTRAINT A. Install edge restraint according to project specifications. B. Depending on the design, the top of the edge restraint can be hidden or exposed. C. Install Avignon, Belgik, Pietra, Tundra or Universal edge units. Cast-in-place concrete or precast concrete curbs should be considered in vehicular use applications (commercial / industrial driveways, parking lots or streets). D. Edge restraint may rest on an open-graded or dense-graded aggregate base. 06 BASE A. Moisten, spread and compact the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base layer in one 4" (100 mm) thick lift. B. Make a minimum of two passes in vibratory mode followed by at least two in static mode with a minimum 10 ton (9 metric ton) vibratory roller, until there is no visible movement of the aggregate. Alternately, a 13,500 lbf (60 kN) plate compactor can be used to compact the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) aggregate base. C. Do not allow the compactor to crush the aggregate. D. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 57 (CSA 5-28) base should be ± 1" (25 mm) over 10' (3 m). Verify prior to setting bed installation. 07 BEDDING COURSE A. Moisten, spread and screed the ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) aggregate bedding layer in one 2" (50 mm) thick lift. B. Surface tolerance of the ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) bedding course should be ± 3⁄8" (10 mm) over 10' (3 m). C. Construction equipment and pedestrian traffic on the screeded bedding course should not be permitted. 08 PAVER A. Pavers should be placed in the pattern shown on the drawings. Lay units hand tight to designated laying patterns. Units have lugs to maintain consistent joint width. B. In sloped conditions, it is preferable to start laying from the bottom in an uphill direction. C. The minimum slope recommended for permeable pavement surface is 1%. D. Inflo pavers can be installed with the TB100SI (Techo-Bloc mechanical tool) to expedite installation. E. When subject to vehicular traffic, cut units should not be smaller than 1⁄3 of a whole paver. When using cut pieces, maintain joint. F. In vehicular applications, pattern strength will increase if laying pattern is perpendicular to traffic flow. SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT PERMEABLE PAVERS8888techo-bloc.comINSTALLATION GUIDE 09 JOINT FILL A. Fill the paver joint openings with ASTM No. 8 (CSA 2.5-10) aggregate (or No. 89, No. 9 depending on joint width). Sweep stone to fill joints. Surface must be swept clean prior to compaction. B. Compact with a minimum 5,000 lbf (22 kN) plate compactor (two passes minimum). The installation of a neoprene pad is recommended to protect the texture of the paving units. C. Do not compact within 6' (1.8 m) of unrestrained edges of the pavers. D. Apply additional aggregate to fill the joint openings if needed and compact. E. Surface tolerance of compacted pavers should be ± 3⁄8" (10 mm) over 10' (3 m). APPROXIMATE MEASURES Clean stone quantity in kg (lb) to cover an area of 1 m2 (1 pi2) to fill between joints. It is recommended to always start with a small area.

CONCRETE EDGE SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT – FULL INFILTRATION Typical cross section SEGMENTAL PERMEABLE PAVEMENT A STANDARD OF CARE The care of high quality concrete products is similar to the care of any product left in the environment 365 days and nights per year. Very mild cleaning using detergents, water and product specific chemicals is necessary and similar to cleaning patio furniture, a vehicle’s chrome, plastic, or paint, etc. in order to enhance their presence and charm. Sealers of all types (high, middle, and low sheen, pigmented/tinted, penetrating or film forming) are available for additional protection from acid rain, stains and nature’s worst. To get the most from your investments take care of them and they’ll take care of you. For any questions on industry-specific cleaners and sealers, see your local hardscape dealer/distributor, contact your contractor, contact us or search online. It is contrary to Techo-Bloc’s SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) to be involved in the care of a mature pavement or retaining structure. Care as mentioned above is the responsibility of the owner for any and all outdoor products. NCMA disclaimer: “In areas where segmental retaining walls will be repeatedly exposed to snow (such as from snow plowing operations) consider periodically applying sealants or water repelling chemicals (silane or siloxane compounds) to the wall surface.” COLOR Due to the inherent nature of printed literature and current digital media, Techo-Bloc cannot guarantee specific colour matching to printed representations of its colour swatches. Each colour option is composed of a variety of darker & lighter tones. Natural ingredients such as granite are present within the recipe to allow for a range in tones, veining and textures from one stone to another. Therefore, colours samples shown are approximate representations of our standard colours and actual product colours may vary. Final colour selection should be made at your local dealer from stocked product. Techo-Bloc always recommends immediately verifying the product and colour upon reception. If there are any discrepancies, contact your local dealer before continuing your project. Installation of the product constitutes your acceptance of the product as is. EFFLORESCENCE This warranty does not apply to eorescence. Eorescence is a natural occurring process in all concrete products which sometimes appears in the form of a white powdery film on the pavement surface. Eorescence is more perceivable in darker colours such as Onyx Black and Chocolate Brown as there is a higher level of contrast than with other blended colours. It does not, in any way, compromise the functionality or the structural integrity of the product. Although eorescence cannot be prevented, it will wash o over time or can be cleaned with eorescence cleaner. Techo-Bloc accepts no responsibility or liability for this condition. POLYMERIC HAZE Polymeric haze from the use of polymeric joint sand may appear on your concrete products if the sand was not removed from the surface of the paver properly. This does not, in any way, aect the integrity of the product or your installation. The hazing will weather away naturally with time and rain. It can be removed with a specialized cleaner; you are advised to contact your contractor or the polymeric sand company used for instructions & recommendations. Techo-Bloc accepts no responsibility or liability for this occurrence. COMPACTOR AND SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT Pavers with an embossed surface (high and low points) are more susceptible to scu marks from vibratory plate compactors used in most concrete paver installations. Techo-Bloc recommends the use of a urethane mat between the plate and the paver surface during compacting. Contact your equipment supplier for more information about accessories for this purpose. Also, snow removal equipment should have the proper spacing, bumpers, and rubber blade guards to protect the surface of the pavers. Techo-Bloc is not responsible for damage caused by the misuse of compaction or snow removal equipment, which may leave scu marks, or burns on pavers. PROPER COLOR DISTRIBUTION AND LAYING TECHNIQUES Proper installation enhances the overall color of pavement. Units should be randomly picked from at least two pallets when installing. This creates an attractive and subtle blending of color. . CONSTRUCTION RESIDUE A by-product of cutting with a saw is residue-filled water or concrete dust. Residue-filled water or re- hydrated dust can cling to the surface and leave a concrete stain. It is recommended to wash and remove the water or concrete dust from the surface of the pavers before it dries. Construction residue can also happen through soil disturbance or environmental elements. These contaminants should be removed immediately but do not aect the integrity of the product or your installation. Techo-Bloc accepts no responsibility or liability for these occurrences TB_SPECBOOK_2018_USA_C1-C4.indd 2 2017-12-05 4:24 PM 33 techo-bloc.comNOTE: This warranty is for residential construction only. This warranty does not apply to any breakage, chipping, natural wear or other deterioration that were caused from improper design or installation which does not comply with applicable codes, the ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute), NCMA (National Concrete Masonry Association) and recognized work procedures.
