Plastic Grid Testing Instruments

Plastic grids are alternative pavement that consists of a durable interlocking plastic grid filled with gravel, earth, or seeded with grass. The grid is very porous, allowing for high rates of infiltration and the modular plastic cells can reduce erosion and wear on gravel and grass pathways. The flexible nature of the grid components, makes it applicable to the sites with uneven terrain, though maximum slope ranges due to traction limitations. Plastic grids are added easily onto the existing paving, taking care of high volumes of runoff that are not directly routed from adjoining resistant areas onto the grid, as sediment can quickly clog the void spaces. Plastic grids are often made from recycled materials. The plastic grids prevent erosion, water quality, quicker snowmelt and drainage, flexible design, and durability. The permeability of a plastic grid means that it is also conducive to efficient drainage. Water will seep through the gravel and grid, minimising the threat of flooding during heavy rain. Manufacturers test the quality of plastic grids using many testing instruments such as Plastic Grid Testing Instruments.
