Frequently Asked Questions
The Formavoid units provide huge strength by load spread through aggregate infill. Formavoid units have been independently tested by a UKAS accredited organisation. Vertical loads in excess of 120 tons/m² were achieved during a standard plate bearing test with no surfacing (plate test on top of subbase stone).
Previous installations have demonstrated that when installed on a 5% CBR formation, a Formavoid subbase with 150mm MOT Type 3 cover can achieve in excess of 30% CBR on top of the subbase. Suitable for use beneath car parks, roadways, bus routes and service yards.
Formavoid subbase systems do not require any special/additional maintenance to traditional systems.
When used as part of a permeable pavement, the permeable surface should be maintained as normal. When installed as part of an impermeable system with Formachannels, the channels require 3 monthly inspections and annual cleaning.
All systems are designed to prevent silt entering the subbase. Silts are trapped in maintainable assets.
