Paving a Residential Driveway - Industry Crash Course

28/12/2020

Segmental pavements are an aesthetic design choice which provides distinct character to any residential property. The modular nature of the paver provides the designer with the opportunity to creatively experiment with a plethora natural colours, shapes and sizes to create distinct patterns and inclusive spaces.

Although segmental pavements are commonly used in open pedestrian spaces, their strength and durability see them used in a wide range of vehicular loaded applications. From your humble driveway, to the busiest ports and industrial facilities of the world, segmental pavers have continuously proven their superiority throughout history

In this episode, your host Elizabeth McIntyre and Think Brick's civil engineer Keanu Andrews will cover the top considerations you need to think about before constructing your residential driveway, including:

• What is a segmental paver;
• The components of a segmental pavement;
