Eigenschaften & Highlights
Floor honeycomb BW40 in gray made of HD-PE plastic for solid floor mounting. (Note: The product design of the floor honeycomb has been improved as of 9/2016 and can be recognized by the new 6-cornered honeycomb structure). Soil honeycomb BW40 is the right product for those who want to design their parking areas, driveways or parking lots unsealed (95% water permeability) and load-bearing with gravel, chippings, crushed stone or other fill materials.
Soil honeycomb with excellent water drainage & drainage
The BW40 soil honeycomb has 72 individual honeycombs with 480 drainage holes in the honeycomb walls and 160 drainage holes in the honeycomb bottom. Thanks to this excellent drainage function, it is possible to realize a virtually unsealed soil stabilization and save municipal fees for sealed areas. At the same time, rainwater can percolate more easily into the soil, so that the formation of puddles or muddy areas is greatly reduced. Therefore, the soil honeycomb is also often called drainage grid, or drainage honeycomb, by customers and clients.
Extra wide honeycomb bottom increases load-bearing capacity
Another special detail of the soil honeycomb compared to conventional soil grids, gravel grids and turf grids is the up to 15 mm wide honeycomb bottom. The advantage of a wider bearing surface is the load-distributing effect, which reduces the likelihood of the product sinking into a soft subsoil. The risk of unsightly and unintended depressions or subsidence, such as ruts and rutting, is thus considerably reduced.
Soil grid with honeycomb structure ensures optimum soil stabilization
Nature provides the constructive model for the soil honeycombs. The principle of the extremely stable 6-cornered honeycomb structure was transferred to the design of the product. The BW40 soil honeycomb itself is made of regenerated UV-stabilized PE-HD. This has resulted in a highly innovative, environmentally friendly product that uses the natural strength of a honeycomb structure to effectively stabilize the soil.
