GATOR AQUA ROCK is manufactured to meet ASTM No. 9 requirements for permeable paver joint units. The calibrated gradation obtained from the fractured high-strength granite makes it the ideal product for the bedding course & jointing material to collect surface water run-off and help stabilize interlocking paver surfaces.
| Sieve size | ASTM No. 9 |
|---|---|
| 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) | 100 |
| No. 4 (4.75 mm) | 85 to 100 |
| No. 8 (2.36 mm) | 10 to 40 |
| No. 16 (1.18 mm) | 0 to 10 |
| No. 50 (0.30 mm) | 0 to 5 |
Quantity required depends on the shape and size of the concrete pavers as well as the width of the joints.

The minimum slope of the soil subgrade should be 0.5%. Actual slope of soil subgrade will depend on the drainage design and exfiltration type. All drainpipes, observation wells, overflow pipes, geotextile and impermeable liner (if applicable) should be in place per the drawings prior to or during placement of the subbase and base, depending on their location. Care must be taken not to damage drainpipes during compaction and paving. No mud or sediment can be left on the base or bedding aggregates. If they are contaminated, they must be removed and replaced with clean materials.
NOTE: The minimum slope of the finished pavement surface should be 1%. The surface of the pavers may be 1/8 to 1/4 in (3 to 6 mm) above the final elevations after compaction. This helps compensate for possible minor settling normal to pavement.
