BS 7533-3:2005+Amendment 1:2009 Pavements constructed with clay, natural stone or concrete pavers. Code of practice for laying precast concrete paving blocks and clay pavers for flexible pavements
BS 7533-3 has been revised to incorporate the latest practices involved in the laying of pavements. It also includes guidance on the laying of permeable pavements. Guidance on the reinstatement of pavements has been moved to BS 7533-11.
BS 7533-3 gives recommendations for the laying of conventional and permeable pavements using precast concrete paving blocks conforming to BS EN 1338 and clay pavers conforming to BS EN 1344.
BS 7533-3 should be used for:
- Flexible pavements for roads
- Industrial areas
- Other paved surfaces subjected to all categories of static and vehicular loading and pedestrian traffic.
The principles given in BS 7533-3 apply to all shapes and sizes of paving units/slabs covered by BS EN 1338 and BS EN 1344.
