Structural cells and matrices using the structural cells for positioning below a hardscape that define a void space therein, the structural cells, matrices using the cells and methods of assembly allowing in one embodiment the introduction of a structural fluid such as concrete to provide an alternative structural cell and matrix product. In one embodiment a structural cell assembly is described comprising a structural cell with a plurality of legs integrally linked to a frame at a first frame end, the frame linking the legs together and the frame defining a generally flat plane with the legs extending substantially orthogonally away from the first frame end about the frame flat plane to a leg terminal end; and a separate plate engaging the legs, the separate plate comprising linked sockets, each socket engaging the leg terminal end; and/or linked sockets, each socket engaging the leg frame ends or a part thereof.

A grass paver makes possible reduction of the product volume of grass paver panels during stoking thereof, thus, improving both transportation and storage characteristics of such assemblies and cutting down the transportation expenses due to introduction of apertures on the cell edges that makes it possible to stack the panels bottom to top and top to bottom. Additionally, apertures in the cell edges also ensure good growth of roots in horizontal direction in intercellular space due to the apertures mentioned above.

Disclosed is a grass protection mat comprising a body where grass passing spaces are continuously arranged and an outer frame comprising four frames formed in four directions to finish an outer edge of the body, wherein the grass protection mat further comprises at least one hook fastener which horizontally protrudes from a first lateral frame of the outer frame toward a second lateral frame of an outer frame of a neighboring grass protection mat, and wherein the at least one hook fastener is fastened to at least one fastening hole provided in the outer frame of the second grass protection mat adjacent to the first lateral frame and corresponding to the hook fastener of the grass protection mat.

A plastic multipurpose component that is suitable as a building block and is filled with filling bodies is used to form a sheet-like assembly from a plurality of components. The multipurpose component has double-walled outer frame parts (2) with an outer frame wall, an inner frame wall and a tread surface connecting them, at least one coupling device (6, 8) for connecting two adjacent components being provided on each of the outer lateral surfaces thereof. Where appropriate inner walls (4) divide the interior of the outer frame (2) formed by outer frame parts into a pattern of cellular lead-throughs (6). Inner bottom support frames (11), and where appropriate, bottom transverse struts on the double-walled outer frame and inner frame serve for stabilizing and supporting at least one filling body introduced in the plastic multipurpose part.

Disclosed is a grass protection mat including: a plurality of bodies formed with grass passing spaces; and one or more contraction-expansion compensatory connector(s) connecting the plurality of bodies and compensating for contraction or expansion of the mat units.

An interlocking traffic tile for a one piece water permeable paver, which has a plurality of connection cells and is configured to support traffic, includes a paver plate with a top side formed over a plurality of intersecting beams. The paver plate has at least one of: a plurality of grooves extending into the top side of the paver plate, a plurality of ribs extending through the top side of the paver plate, and a plurality of perforations extending from the top side of the paver plate. The paver plate has at least one integral interlocking support integrally extending from the plurality of intersecting beams for locking to a connection cell of the one piece water permeable paver. The at least one integral interlocking support has a body, which connects the paver plate to the connection cell of the one piece water permeable paver.

A set of grass pavers for creating a paver arrangement is provided. Each grass pavers comprises intersecting longitudinal members and transverse members forming an inner opening for growing grass. Pairs of adjacent member extremities form partial openings configured to form complete openings when a 5 grass paver is assembled with adjacent grass pavers. The longitudinal members and/or the transverse members have recessed portion(s) having an upper face extending below the exposed top face of the unitary body. The recessed portions are hidden by grass when the grass paver is installed and in use in the paver arrangement. The grass paver have an overall surface area delimited by the 10 extremities of the longitudinal and transverse members, and a void surface area corresponding to a sum of the inner opening area and the partial opening areas. The void ratio, defined as the void surface area over the overall area, is greater than 50%.

A water generation system for improvement of water shortage environments is provided as a water generation system that is constructed as a surface pavement in a water shortage area and generally includes a sand layer, which is covered with a moisture locking cloth, a grading layer laid on the moisture locking cloth, and a water pervious layer arranged on the grading layer. The water pervious layer includes a plurality of hollow water penetration tubes vertically arranged above the grading layer. The water penetration tubes each have a tubular wall in which through apertures are formed. The water penetration tube has an outer circumference over which a tubular sleeve having an opening facing downward is fit such that an interlayer space is formed between the tubular sleeve and the tubular wall of the water penetration tube.

A water generation system for deserts is provided as a water generation system designed for desert climate areas and constructed in a surface pavement and generally includes a sand layer, which includes a water tank embedded therein and is covered with a moisture locking cloth on which a grading layer is laid. A water resisting cloth is arranged in the grading layer. Hollow water penetration tubes are arranged above the grading layer and have bottoms extending through the water resisting cloth and inserted into the grading layer with pouring and grouting of grout cement thereon to form a water pervious layer. As such, rainwater can be quickly conducted into the sand layer for storage for subsequent uses and air can be conducted into the grading layer to subject to condensation for forming condensed water on an undersurface of the water resisting cloth to achieve a purpose of automatic water generation.
