Driveway gravel protection grating is produced using recycled plastic from post-consumer and industrial waste. This contributes significantly to reducing emissions, as each kilogram of recycled plastic avoids the emission of 1.5 kilograms of CO2.
Stabilising paving for driveway gravel
This system, made up of high-density polyethylene modules with a honeycomb design, is conceived as an eco-sustainable solution for the construction of car parks, driveways, driveways and parking areas. Its ‘green’ nature not only respects the environment, but also helps reduce flooding in urban areas by allowing rainwater to infiltrate naturally into the ground. Unlike impermeable surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the integration of gravel areas favours the creation of natural habitats for insects and small animals, as well as providing aesthetic and recreational benefits.
This gravel-saving system provides soil consolidation and can be used immediately by vehicles and requires only standard care. Gravel cover in the gravel saver area is approximately 90 per cent, facilitating rainwater drainage.
In addition, this system offers high compressive strength values, adapting to the underlying soil type, subgrade and relative thicknesses. Thanks to the HDPE material, the honeycomb modules are resistant to weathering, temperature variations and UV damage, while remaining protected from the attack of microorganisms and chemicals in the soil.
Salva Ghiaia, the gravel stabiliser grating, is suitable for various applications ensuring effective drainage of rainwater. The main areas of use include:
The installation of Salva Ghiaia grating is easy and does not require the presence of specialised labour. Thanks to its lightness and the interlocking system, installation is quick and precise, partially compensating for the natural linear expansion of the element. We recommend installing the planking in horizontal rows, proceeding from left to right and from the top (A1) to the bottom (C1). The interlocking hooks, which are present on two sides, should be oriented towards the right and downwards (see picture).
For the best end result, we recommend:
Example of stratigraphy. For each application, the stratigraphy will be carefully studied according to the intended use.
The dimensions of the driveway gravel saver grating are carefully designed to meet the needs of ground consolidation, ensuring a quick and easy installation of the gravel pavement.

A coloured ‘STAR’ signalling element, which can be inserted into the grid cells, will allow parking areas or other areas to be delimited.
The ‘TILE’ article, also manufactured by us, allows for the creation of pedestrian and cycle paths adjacent to the paving with gravel savers.
