The subject matter described herein includes a paving system having a backing matrix, a plurality of untreated black locust wood pavers arranged in a defined pattern relative to one another on the backing matrix, the defined pattern creating regular void spaces therebetween, a permeable medium disposed between the wood pavers and filling the void spaces, at least one solar cell embedded within at least one wood paver, one or more layers of underlayment beneath the matrix, the one or more layers of underlayment having graduated sizes or porosities, and a flexible coating displaced around the perimeter of the backing matrix.

Disclosed is a draining composition for a light-traffic road pavement, including: (a) a first granular layer having a percentage of communicating voids ranging 25-50%, including a binder and a granular mixture of which at least 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the granular mixture, has a granular size distribution range 4-20 mm, the layer having a thickness suitable for the pavement's mechanical strength; (b) a second granular layer having main lower and upper surfaces, the main lower surface resting directly on the first granular matrix and the main upper surface in direct contact with the air, the second granular layer being a granular mixture not bound by a binder and of which at least 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the granular mixture, has a granular size distribution range 2-14 mm, the second granular layer having a thickness appropriate for water accumulation.

Foundation, apparatus and method for stabilization of a foundation. The foundation comprises a subsoil and a pavement structure formed over it, which pavement structure includes a plurality of successive structural layers. At least one of these structural layers is a binder-stabilized structural layer which includes stone materialand a binder. Additionally, the stabilized structural layer is enclosed within a sleeve structure.

A method of installing an electrical outlet for charging an electric vehicle at a curb, wherein the curb is spaced by a sidewalk from a power supply at a house faade, comprises providing the power supply at the house faade, providing the outlet at the curb, and connecting a power supply cable from the power supply to the outlet. The sidewalk presents a surfacing formed of a plurality of pavement stones. The power supply cable is installed in a cable channel extending from the power supply to the curb and provided in a plurality of transfer modules, which have a thickness that is approximately the same as a thickness of the pavement stones and which are installed in a same plane as the pavement stones. The disclosure provides methods of installing an electrical outlet for charging an electrical vehicle at a curb, transfer modules for such installation and power supply installations.
