A form for forming a modular pavement slab with long and short cavities alternatingly formed around its periphery includes a header and a plurality of short and long forming tools. The header includes an inner vertical surface that defines a portion of the periphery of the modular pavement slab. The short forming tool includes an elongate body defining a longitudinal axis and having a proximal end positioned against the inner vertical surface of the header. The elongate body has a longitudinal bore therethrough and a riser bore defining an axis that is noncollinear to the longitudinal axis. A riser is releasably coupled to the riser bore. The long forming tool is substantially similar to the short forming tool. The elongate body, however, is longer than the short forming tool and includes two riser bores. A riser is releasably coupled to each respective riser bore.

A block suitable for use in paving, edging or wall applications comprises a lower portion having parallel, substantially vertical side faces that are spaced apart by a first width, and an upper portion having parallel, substantially vertical side faces that are spaced apart by a second width. The second width is smaller than the first width of the lower portion, and the side faces of the upper portion are angled relative to the side faces of the lower portion. The block further comprises a transition portion between the upper and lower portions, having at least one slanted side extending between one or more sides of the lower portion and one or more sides, respectively, of the upper portion.

The described leveling lifter includes an engagement part embedded in a concrete slab, wherein the engagement part extends down to the base and contains a coupler component. The lifter may also include an actuator that is structured to engage the coupler within the concrete slab. The lifter also has a base configured under the engagement part. The base is configured to releasably couple to the concrete slab by projections set at a distance from one another on the base, the projections being configured to detach from the concrete slab in degrees upon engagement of the base by the actuator.

A modular system for streets formed of a top module, a bottom module, an internal cavity formed within the bottom module, cables positioned within said bottom module, a computing device, sensors operatively associated with said computing device, and communications hardware configured to communicate information from said sensors to a second computing device positioned exterior to said modular system.

An articulating composite surface covering mat and process of forming the mat are provided. The mat has multiple units having a regular, natural or irregular appearance, and each unit a flexible geogrid extending therethrough. Gaps are formed in the spacing between the units. A method of forming the mat includes forming the mat upside-down on a bottom surface of a bottom mold, locating a geogrid in a cavity defined between either or both of the bottom mold and a top mold, and placing the top mold over the bottom mold to form the mold assembly, sealingly engaging the transverse walls of the bottom mold and top mold where there is no geogrid, and adding the filler to the mold assembly.

The mat has multiple units having a regular, natural or irregular appearance, and each unit a flexible geogrid extending therethrough. Gaps are formed in the spacing between the units. A method of forming the mat includes forming the mat upside-down on a bottom surface of a bottom mold, locating a geogrid in a cavity defined between either or both of the bottom mold and a top mold, and placing the top mold over the bottom mold to form the mold assembly, sealingly engaging the transverse walls of the bottom mold and top mold where there is no geogrid, and adding the filler to the mold assembly.
