Specifications
To provide paver support to support pavers on extensive courtyard and walkway areas of the University.
Solution
VersiJack pedestals were positioned on insulation boards placed over the concrete slab to facilitate the installation of the pavers. Any rainwater quickly disperses through the gaps between pavers and is drained away enabling paver surfaces to dry out quickly. Eliminating bedding sand substantially reduced the weight bearing load on the building structure and the air gap between pavers and the waterproofed reinforced concrete slab helps to create a cooler building and also reduces sound transmission to the level below.
