Thanks to a specially developed coating made from a thin layer of aggregate, the surface of the CCL series has the same friction properties as conventional paving. The CCL series amply satisfies the criteria for a Skid Resistance Tester (SRT) value of ‘Highly resistant’, as well as complying with the NEN 7909 standard for skid…
Apart from a hard-wearing coating designed especially for the PlasticRoad, the elements remain fully immersed in the soil below. This wearing course prevents the structure from releasing microplastics, since it is completely shielded from direct contact with road traffic. Consequently, its plastic isn’t subject to wear. Moreover, the plastic is protected from sunlight, so it…
PlasticRoad sets very strict requirements for the connectors of the CCL elements. They should not only firmly link the different elements but also have a certain degree of elasticity that allows them to accommodate expansion and contraction. The connectors also ensure that the road surface remains level. In addition, they shouldn’t impede the swift replacement…
The connectors have been designed so that the elements all lie on a single horizontal plane, with no height differences whatsoever between the individual elements. In addition, the connectors themselves are recessed, with a minimised surface and joints. In addition, we have further improved the connectors’ design based on the results of our trials in…
So far, there have been no indications – either during the trial projects or internal tests based on heavy precipitation or high water levels – that the elements will float to the surface. To minimise this potential risk, the CCL elements are fitted with side strips along the floor of the structure. These extensions increase…
