How to Create Permeable Pebble Pavement

Steps and Material Guide
Permeable pebble pavement is a visually appealing and eco-friendly paving material. It combines the natural texture of pebbles with permeability, effectively reducing surface runoff and promoting water circulation. Below are the steps to create a permeable pebble pavement.
 
Materials and Tools Preparation
Before starting, prepare the following materials and tools:

• PU Glue APU-105-M-321F: This high-transparency, non-yellowing, solvent-free, single-component glue ensures firm adhesion of the pebbles. It also features excellent weather resistance and long-term durability.
• Pebbles: These are small, washed stones, typically ranging between 5-10 millimeters in diameter.
• Tools: Mixer, trowel, and leveling tools. Mixer example,

Step 1: Foundation Preparation
To ensure stability and drainage, the ground foundation must be properly treated before laying the permeable pebble pavement.

• Clean the Ground: Remove debris and plants from the surface and ensure a level base. If necessary, incorporate a drainage slope.
• Compact the Foundation: Use a compactor or manual tamping tools to compact the ground to prevent future settling.
• Lay a Crushed Stone Base Layer: Spread a 10-15 cm thick layer of crushed stones over the compacted base, then compact it. This will aid drainage and provide support for the pebble layer.

Step 2: Laying the Pebbles
The pebble laying process should be swift and uniform to ensure the integrity and permeability of the pavement.

• Mix Pebbles and PU Glue: Evenly mix the pebbles with high-transparency, non-yellowing, solvent-free, single-component PU glue.
• Pour the Mixture: Pour the mixed pebbles and PU glue evenly onto the prepared base and use a trowel to level it initially.
• Compact the Pebbles: Use a leveling tool to compact the pebbles, eliminating excess air and increasing density.
• Wait for Curing: Allow at least 24 hours for the mixture to fully cure.

 
Step 3: Completion and Inspection
Carry out final inspections and adjustments.

• Inspect the Pavement: Check the surface of the pebble pavement for flatness and the absence of cracks, ensuring its permeability and visual appeal meet expectations.
• Fix Defects: Address any defects or uneven areas promptly through repairs and adjustments.

Upon completing these steps, you will have a durable, attractive, and highly permeable pebble pavement. This type of pavement not only enhances environmental quality but also effectively reduces the risk of urban flooding and supports natural water circulation. Using PU Glue APU-105-M-321F to create permeable pebble pavement is simple, efficient, visually appealing, and easy to maintain.
