Manufacturing Interlocking Pavers
How Are Interlocking Pavers
Manufactured?
 |
Interlocking pavers are manufactured by
machinery in factories. They consist of both
fine and coarsely grained aggregate, along with
cement compounds. |
The ingredients are put through pressure and
vibration courses, which produce a strong,
durable concrete that can then be molded into
various shapes and designs.
During the pressure and vibration courses,
color is added to give a more appealing design
feature.
This is a quick production process, for these
pavers do not need to be cured over time, they
are ready instantly for paving.
|
During the manufacturing process the paver is
designed so that there are ridges on the wall of
the paver.
This is so that when they are placed with
sand between them they do not move and thus
interlock. Interlocking ensures a very uniform
and secure surface that distributes weight and
can sustain |

| heavy and frequent traffic while
still being slightly moveable to resist cracking
from temperature change or earth movement.
Because they are kept firmly in place without
the use of mortar they are also very easy to
replace. | |
