 A. After the material samples have been approved, all materials
shall be delivered to site in the manufacturers original
unopened containers and packages with seals unbroken and
labels intact and shall be stored in a dry place. Materials such as
cements, which are partially caked, the containers for which
show water stain or which are damaged or unsuitable for use
shall be removed from site.
B. Damaged curbs shall not be allowed to be used so that
precautionary measures shall be undertaken to prevent racking,
chipping or other damage during unloading and storage at the
site. Any damage curb installed shall be immediately removed
from the site and replaced with a new material.
C. The work shall be coordinated with other sections of work
which adjoins other materials before installation of the material
herein.

2. Installation:

Curb:

A. Set lay-out for curb stone according to plan with reference to

lines and grades.
B. The base coarse shall be compacted to attain sufficient
compaction prior to its final placement.
C. Set curbs in full bed of mortar that it will be stable and can
resist lateral force exerted by the adjoining elevated
interlocking blocks.
D. The joint of the curb stone shall be spaced for at least 10 mm
and the same will be filled with mortar so that there will be no
lack of bond between adjoining curb.

Interlocking Blocks

A. Prepare sub grade for the installation of the interlocking blocks.

 Compact by tamping with rubber mallet and screed to depth
required to allow setting of pavers.
C. Place geotextile over compacted base course, overlapping ends
and edges at least 300 mm.
D. Place leveling course and screed to a thickness of 25-38 mm,
taking care that moisture content remains constant and density
is loose and constant unit pavers are set and compacted.
E. Treat leveling base with soil sterilizer to inhibit growth of grass
and weeds.
F. Set pavers with minimum joint width of 1.6 mm and maximum
of 3 mm, being careful not to disturb leveling base. If pavers
have spacer bars, place pavers hand tight against spacer bars.
Using string lines to keep straight lines. Fill gaps between units
not to exceed 10 mm with pieces cut from full size unit pavers.
G. Spread dry sand and fill joints pavers, vibrate pavers and add
sand until joints are completely filled, remove excess sand.
H. Do not allow traffic on installed pavers until sand has been
vibrated into joints.

3. Cleaning and Protection:

A. Remove and replace unit pavers that are loose, chipped, broken,
stained or otherwise damaged or that do not match adjoining
units as intended.
B. Protect the finished work from damage until substantial
completion.
C. At the end of each day of work, remove from the site rubbish
and debris resulting from this work.
