Discover the 5 Advantages of Turfpave XD, an Environmentally Friendly Paving Material!

In addition to geocells, one type of material commonly used to reinforce road paving and various other infrastructure projects is TurfPave® XD.

Although at first glance both have similarities in their hollow patterns, TurfPave® XD is a more environmentally friendly material because it is made from 100% recycled plastic.

But don’t worry, this product can still function as an aesthetic alternative to asphalt or concrete coatings with good water absorption capabilities while being resistant to heavy vehicle loads. 

What other advantages does TurfPave® XD offer? Check out the full explanation in this article!

Advantages of TurfPave XD in Infrastructure Projects

In general, TurfPave® XD is a type of plastic material with a square cell pattern that is usually placed under the surface of grass or roads.

Similar to geocells, TurfPave® XD is installed to distribute the load from above the road, whether from pedestrians or passing vehicles, thereby minimizing grass and root compaction. In addition, this material also offers various other advantages, such as:

 1. Helps Create a Stronger and More Stable Turf Surface

TurfPave® XD comes in the form of interconnected nets or cells. This allows grass roots to continue to grow optimally while creating a strong and stable surface.

These interconnected cells protect roots from friction or damage caused by physical pressure or friction from surface activities, ranging from vehicle loads, pedestrians, heavy equipment, and even large stages.

2. Improves Water and Nutrient Absorption for Grass

TurfPave® XD also helps prevent soil compaction, allowing roots to breathe and absorb water or nutrients more effectively. This is effective in helping grass grow healthier and stronger.

3. Improves Water Drainage 

In addition, TurfPave® XD is known for its porous design that allows rainwater to quickly seep into the soil, automatically minimizing puddles that can damage the grass.

4. Supports Root Growth into the Soil

The shape of TurfPave® XD, which resembles a square-vertical patterned net, can direct grass roots to grow downward. 

This condition will make the roots grip the soil more strongly and prevent particles from being easily dislodged due to weather conditions.

5. Environmentally Friendly

Finally, TurfPave® XD is also a more environmentally friendly option for infrastructure projects because it is processed using high-quality recycled plastic, helping to reduce plastic waste and the use of new raw materials.

Surfaces made from TurfPave® XD are also cooler than asphalt or concrete. This automatically helps to lower the surrounding temperature and reduce the heat island effect.

 Various Applications of TurfPave in Infrastructure Projects

Currently, you can enjoy all the Advantages of Turfpave by purchasing it only from trusted and experienced suppliers, such as Urban Plastic. 

The currently available module size is 500 mm x 500 mm x 40 mm, made from polypropylene material. This material can be used for various infrastructure projects, including:

1. Parking lots in residential complexes, office buildings, stadiums, or shopping centers that want to remain green while still being strong enough to withstand vehicle loads.

2. Emergency access and fire lanes.

3. Walkways for jogging tracks in city parks, tourist areas, or campus areas.

4. Golf courses, especially buggy paths (golf cart paths) or small parking areas near the course.

5. Festival and outdoor event areas so that the grass is not damaged even when thousands of visitors or logistics vehicles pass through at the same time.
