Tegula®-Tec Description
TegulaĆ-Tec with hidden horizontal and vertical interlock effect offers a nostalgic, rectangular appearance on the surface - just the typical Tegula image. Beneath the surface, the vertical and horizontal interlock takes effect, which distributes strong rolling and shear loads that develop from accelerating or stopping at intersections, on slopes or at traffic lights.

JOINT FILLING
RequirementS: approx. 0.0059 m3/m2
Standard installation: Joint filling of natural sands 0/2 or 0/4 or crushed sand. Paver bed of sand, gravel sand, crushed sand or other suitable particle sizes, sand 0/2 to 0/4 mm or grated crushed sand - gravel - mix 0/5 mm.
Installation as drain pavement: Joint filling of high quality chippings 1/3 mm Paver bed of high quality chippings 1/3 or 2/5 mm.
Composition and Manufacture: TegulaĆ-Tec is made from a "no slump" concrete mix. Made under extreme pressure and high-frequency vibration, TegulaĆ-Tec has a compressive strength greater than 8000 psi and water absorption of maximum 5%. It will meet or exceed national requirements and standards for concrete paving stones.
Scientific tests
| 1. Infiltration tests | Permeability of the surface, joint material 1/3 mm.
Dr. Snke Borgwardt |
| 2. Expansion test | In order to furnish proof of the horizontal interlocking effect.
Dr. Ing. Rolf Leutner, professor at the technical university of Brunswick |
| 3. Drive over test | Reaction of the paving surface once submitted to the surface test machine
Proof of the vertical and horizontal interlocking effect.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Krass, Institute for public thoroughfare, Ruhr-Universitt Bochum |
| 4. Measuring of traffic noise | a) Driving perpendicularly to the horizontal joints
b) Driving diagonally to the horizontal joints
