Britain's best source of building product information

A recent project to transform a 57,000m? car park at Birmingham's NEC was completed with some of the fastest ever installation rates in the UK according to Interpave, the industry and product association. Efficiency on the 12-week project was achieved by two different contractors working simultaneously and using four block paving machines. Additionally, a hydraulically-operated clamping system was used to lift a complete 'cluster' of blocks already configured in the required laying pattern. Helping to speed up the laying preparation, various types of mechanised screeding equipment was used, including an asphalt paver machine with sonic sensors to control the layinbg course thickness.
