Paving curves with the Einstein curve set When renovating sidewalks, planners and local authorities particularly like to opt for paving: Paving looks good, excavations are not a problem and, when laid in accordance with regulations, paved surfaces can withstand the usual traffic loads. In order to avoid damage caused by traffic loads, those responsible like to use interlocking paving systems. It is important to ensure that the joints are laid correctly. If the paving stones are laid correctly, this ensures

Waldbröl redevelops center with special paving system  For some time now, there has been a trend towards large-format paving elements in the renovation of paved surfaces. Particularly in urban areas, attempts are often made to achieve the desired linear design effect. The fact that this trend has now also arrived in the renovation of surfaces in rural areas is illustrated by the example of the renovation of one of the main thoroughfares through the town of Waldbröl in the Oberberg district. A 60 x 40 x 12 cm paving system was used to redesign the town center, which blends in visually with the

Urban development in Upper Franconia Since the early 1970s, the federal and state governments have provided financial assistance for investments in the renewal and development of cities and municipalities through urban development programs. The aim is to strengthen cities as business and residential locations and to permanently remedy any deficiencies or shortcomings. One of the starting points in this context is to upgrade the design of public spaces. In smaller municipalities, the focus is particularly on the paved areas in the town centers, as these are particularly

Road renovation with special paving in Heßheim When renovating residential streets, planners and local authorities particularly like to opt for paving: Paving looks good, excavations are not a problem and, if laid in accordance with regulations, paved surfaces can withstand the usual traffic loads. However, this is precisely where practitioners often observe a problem: damage to paved surfaces occurs time and again.

Gau-Heppenheim renovates market square with special paving system  For some time now, there has been a trend towards large-format paving elements in the renovation of paved surfaces. Particularly in urban areas, attempts are often made to achieve the desired linear design effect. The example of the renovation of the market square in Gau-Heppenheim in Rhineland-Palatinate shows that this trend has now also arrived in the renovation of surfaces in rural areas. Here, a 60 x 30 x 10 cm paving system was used for the redesign of the

New paving of the pedestrian zone in Homburg/Saar When it comes to pedestrian-friendly paving of inner-city streets, two aspects are often paramount: firstly, stability, so that the surfaces are able to absorb the expected traffic loads without shifting, and secondly, appearance, as the street space should ultimately offer citizens an attractive quality of stay. However, both aspects – appearance and technology – often represent a contradiction. Pure asphalt surfaces, for example, are technically feasible but not very attractive visually. Conventional paved surfaces often look better, but

Urban development funding in Bavaria places high demands on surface reinforcement Since 1971, urban development funding in Bavaria has made a significant contribution to the urban renewal of towns, markets and villages with over five billion euros. Current priorities are the strengthening of city centers and town centers, the further development of urban areas and districts with particular social, economic and ecological development needs and the creation of sustainable urban structures in the face of loss of function. The focus
