ECO-OPTILOC

Eco-Optiloc is the permeable version of the high performance, heavy duty Optiloc paver system. Special spacer bars create a 12mm gap between units which results in excellent infiltration rates when installed on an open graded base with fine stone chip between the joints. A heavy duty industrial paver that is one of the best solutions for vehicular pavements. Possessing the same L-shaped, tri-axis locking principle as world renowned Anchorlock, Eco-Optiloc offers one of the best solutions for permeable vehicular pavements. Like Anchorlock and Optiloc, Eco-Optiloc can also be laid mechanically. For large scale commercial projects, special order colors and textures are available.

Eco-Optiloc®

Eco-Optiloc is a rectilinear shaped paver which is typically installed mechanically for commercial permeable applications. Eco-Optiloc can be customized for your particular design requirements. (minimum qty. applies)

Recommended Base Stabilization – one layer of DriveGrid™" stabilization grid between subgrade and base material. Recommended depth 8” to 10” below pavers for maximum stability and performance. Use under Permeable Base.

Standard Base and Bedding Course – Not applicable

Permeable Base – Min. 6” – 8” of ¾“ clear open-graded stone compacted to achieve full particle lock-up and consolidation. (Clear open-graded does not compact but does consolidate slightly by rattling the particles together.)

Permeable Bedding Course – 1” thick of 1/4” clear open-graded chip stone – (ASTM No. 8) screeded over base.

Special Note: Concrete Direct Overlay – Not applicable

Jointing Material and Joint Stabilization - Clear stone chip (ASTM No. 9) is swept in as jointing infill.

Handling – Can be installed by hand but very difficult. Should be installed mechanically.

Edge Restraint - Always install an edge restraint around the perimeter of any paver installation not restrained by building structures. Spike-in edge restraints come in plastic and metal and work well for most applications. A concrete curb or a sub-surface concrete wedge can also be installed to retain the edge.

Paver Compaction - Always use a protective polymer pad on the bottom of your compactor when doing the final compaction of the pavers. An alternative is to use a rubber-roller compactor for the final compaction.

Cleaners – Any cleaner specifically designed for pavers may be used for color restoration or general cleaning. Follow manufacturer’s dilution rates and application procedures. Always test a small area to make sure the results are as expected.

 Sealers 

  • Product may be sealed for aesthetic or cleanliness reasons but it is not required
  • Use any sealer approved for concrete pavers
  • Select type for desired aesthetics
  • Product must be cleaned before sealing
  • Always read and follow manufacturer’s application procedures
  • Always test a small area to make sure the results are as expected
