Golpla Grass and Gravel Reinforcement

Golpla is a rigid, high quality recycled Plastic grass and gravel reinforcement and erosion control system, designed to perpetuate the growth of grass under conditions of intensive vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The configuration of hexagonal cells coupled with the use of high density plastics allows for a reduction of wall thickness, resulting in a high-strength structure, which is visually unobtrusive: 94% of the surface area available for infill. Golpla is not affected by extremes of temperature and is UV stable and non-toxic. No Paving system currently on the market can sustain satisfactory grass growth from within its own depth, as all major seed houses agree, good grass requires a minimum of 125mm of growth medium in which to thrive. Geosynthetics Ltd uniquely recognises this fact by the inclusion of a layer of rootzone, beneath the paving system. Only Golpla has sufficient footprint to enable this, and at the same time remain stable. Without an adequate depth of growth medium (i.e rootzone plus the depth of the paver), grass cannot survive prolonged dry weather. In the case of car parking this problem is further compounded by the shelter of parked cars.
