UNI-GROUP
U.S.A. offers extensive design and installation information for both
traditional and permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICPs), including
design manuals,
specifications,
case studies and
design software. This
information is geared to design professionals and contractors. For
information geared towards homeowners and do-it-yourself projects, please
contact the local UNI manufacturer in your area.
Some of our most popular design manuals and brochures are included below.
For other information not listed here, we've included quick links in the
menu to the left for the most common areas of interest pertaining to design
and construction. Permeable interlocking concrete paver design and
construction differs from that of traditional pavers, so the information is
often presented in two formats for your convenience.
