Interlocking Block

Interlocking blocks are meticulously engineered to ensure a secure and stable surface. Their precise configurations and patterns facilitate a seamless fit, promoting load distribution and preventing undesirable shifts or settling.

Among key features of adapting interlocking block are:

Typically made from concrete or clay, interlocking blocks come in various colors, shapes, and sizes.
Many interlocking pavements allow for water infiltration, reducing surface runoff and promoting groundwater recharge.

Methodology and process involved in interlocking block procedure

1. Site Preparation

Excavate the area to the required depth, considering the thickness of the blocks and base layers.
Ensure proper drainage by grading the subgrade.

2. Base Layer

Install a granular base, like crushed stone or gravel, and compact it thoroughly for a stable foundation.

3. Sand Bedding

Spread a layer of sand (approximately 25-50 mm) over the compacted base, levelling it to create a smooth surface for the blocks.

4. Block Laying

Begin laying blocks from a corner or edge, ensuring they are aligned and level. Use a rubber mallet to tap them into place and maintain interlock.

5. Joint Filling

After laying, fill the joints with sand to lock the blocks in place. This helps to stabilize the pavement.

6. Compaction

Use a plate compactor to further settle the blocks and ensure proper joint filling.

7. Backfilling

Backfill any gaps behind the wall with soil or gravel to improve drainage and prevent erosion.
