Case Studies Tufftrack Grass & Gravel Pavers Emergency vehicle lane Union High School Tulsa, OK When the Tulsa Independent School District prepared to open a new school, the design team needed to incorporate emergency vehicle access roads leading up to the building and athletic facilities. The Tufftrack Grass & Gravel Paver was selected for its high compressive strength of 81,744 psf and the flexibility either to sod or seed the area immediately following the 8,000 square foot installation. Emergency access lane Hilton Garden Inn Elk Grove, CA An emergency access lane needed to be added along the side of the property, but due to the large width of the lane and proximity to the hotel, the owners wanted a solution that would be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

Case Studies EZ Roll Gravel Pavers Daily parking Dallas Arboretum Dallas, Texas The arboretum is a high-profile facility in Dallas that generates critical tourism and income to the area. The busy arboretum needed additional parking to accommodate a predicted rise in traffic volume over the next decade and wanted something that would blend in with the natural surroundings while handling heavy amounts of traffic. They also wanted a permeable solution that could mitigate stormwater runoff. EZ Roll Gravel pavers were selected for their strength, durability and ease of installation. The project was completed in two phases totaling 185,000 square feet. Gastonia Readiness Center Gastonia, NC Parking and heavy vehicle access An Army facility, the Gastonia Readiness Center was adding two separate buildings for soldiers and equipment along with a new parking lot for forty vehicles. The new 16,000 sq. ft. lot needed to supply daily parking, but also function as an emergency access lane capable of supporting the weight of National Guard military vehicles. EZ Roll Gravel was selected for its strength, permeability and overall aesthetics. 14 Visit ndspro.com /permeable-pavers
