Project Gallery
Spectrum Community School has a Gravelpave2 fire lane and access road around the building. Notice the flush concrete curbs used to mark the edge of pavement.
The access road shown in the previous photo and the end of it here is gated for limited access.
Backing up from the previous two photos you can see a Gravelpave2 parking lot. Notice how the rings go all the way back to the concrete curb edge and fence, then the wheel stops are laid on top.
Here you can see that the Gravelpave2 drive is being used by maintenance staff.
Only two rows of parking bays are done in the Gravelpave2 and they are on the low side of the property which allows stormwater to filter through the reinforced gravel.
The perimeter edges are treated with flush concrete curbs. There is a savings in future maintenance by not having to stripe the Gravelpave2 slots.
The asphalt drive is crowned so that the stormwater drains from the center into the Gravelpave2 parking bays.
