Gravelpave2 |
The contractor used a combination of hand held rakes and front end loading bobcats (not shown) to fill the Gravelpave2 with the glass cullet.
Here the Gravelpave2 section is unrolled and ready to be filled with the recycled glass.

Approximately 900 m2 (10,000 SF) of Gravelpave2 was used, with glass cullet composing the layer of "gravel." Although the combination of clear, brown, green, and blue glass almost looks like typical gravel from a distance, the glass adds some sparkle to the lot. Even though the project has an abundance of green features, the parking lot is the aspect of the project that gets the most attention from the public, particularly with the glass cullet. |

The glass cullet fill looks a bit like normal gravel fill, however visitors and workers say it “shimmers” and “sparkles” in the sunlight. |
Gravelpave2 meets concrete and concrete curbing at this facility. |
