The Costs of paving -
Comparative Initial Construction and Whole Life Cost Analysis
for Pavements
Concrete block paving has been used widely
in the UK for over 30 years on diverse project types ranging
from footpaths to container terminals. One of the most
exciting recent developments is the use of this technology
for permeable pavements, offering major environmental benefits
acknowledged by planning guidance, regulations and environmental
regulators.
However, the potential cost advantages of concrete
block permeable pavements (CBPP) are less well understood
and to address this Interpave has commissioned Scott Wilson
to carry out independent, comparative cost research of
various pavement types including CBPP used in different
applications and ground conditions.
