Polymer panels for walkway and paving

Embodiments provide a polymeric walkway for mitigating surface water runoff and a method for constructing the same. A polymeric walkway module is secured to a pre-conditioned ground. The polymeric walkway module includes an upper panel, a lower panel, and a plurality of spacers. The upper panel includes a plurality of perforations. The plurality of spacers is positioned between the upper panel and the lower panel defining a hollow space. Surface water permeates through the plurality of perforations and occupies the hollow space during the surface water runoff.

A tactile tile assembly includes a base having a plate section, a rim projecting up from the plate section, and a plurality of embedment anchors on the base. A tactile tile is adapted to fit into or onto the base. Fasteners extending through the tactile tile attach it to the base. The top of the rim may be substantially co-planar with a top surface projections on the tactile tile. The embedment anchors may be provided in a plane of the plate section and be bent to a position perpendicular to the plate section for embedment into a pavement material. The base has attachment elements for attaching the tile assembly to an adjoining tile assembly. Two or more tile assemblies are attached together to provide a tile assembly combination of a desired size and shape. The tile assembly combination is then installed in the paving material.

A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR BUILDING A ROAD

A system for assembling a road comprises a plurality of plastic support structures and a plurality of road deck elements. Each of the support structures comprises a base plate and at least one column extending, or for extending, upwardly from the base plate for supporting at least partly one of the road deck elements. Each of the road deck elements is configured such that in an assembled and as road useable condition of the system rainwater predominantly flows away over the road to one or more positions next to the road, and/or to a slit-sized interruption of the road across the road.

An impact-absorbing assembly includes a covering layer being one or more of artificial turf, rubber mats, polymer mats, short pile carpeting, particulate infill, wood chips, and ground rubber chips. Also included is a layer of underlayment panels positioned beneath the covering layer. The panels have a panel section with a plurality of drain holes formed therethrough. A top surface of the panels is configured to support the covering layer. A bottom surface of the panels has a plurality of bottom projections that cooperate to define bottom channels suitable to permit water flow across the bottom surface, the bottom channels being in fluid communication with the panel drain holes. The bottom projections define a first spring rate characteristic that is part of a first stage and a second spring rate characteristic is part of a second stage, the first stage having a smaller volume of material than the second stage.
