Concrete FillShop & Warehouse Floors
Power-trowel smooth, forklift-ready, and coatable with epoxy for a showroom finish. This completed warehouse floor will hold 1,200 tonnes.
A Product of We Build Your Shop
Interlocking diamond-grid panels made from 100% recycled polypropylene. Clip, fill with concrete or gravel, and turn soft or shifting ground into a hard-working surface — shop floors, driveways, roads, parking lots, golf paths and more. Same strength, a fraction of the concrete.

Applications
One grid.
Any ground.
Fill it with concrete for a smooth, hard floor. Fill it with gravel for a permeable, mud-free surface. Either way, the diamond cells lock the fill in place so it can't rut, ravel or wash out.
Concrete Fill
Gravel FillDriveways
A clean, firm, free-draining driveway with no ruts, no potholes and no spring breakup mess. Gravel stays exactly where you put it.
Heavy DutyParking Lots & Hardstands
Industrial pavements, equipment yards, truck parking and laydown areas — engineered for real axle loads, not just foot traffic.
PermeableGolf Courses & Greens
Cart paths, tee lanes and walkways that stay firm in any weather and drain right through — gentle on the turf and landscape around them.
Remote SitesCamps & Remote Sites
Mud-free walkways and pads between site trailers and camp buildings. Light to freight, fast to lay, and it works with local fill material.
AgricultureBarns, Stables & Yards
Stall floors, alleys, livestock pens and high-traffic gate areas that stay dry and stable underfoot — easy on hooves, easy to clean.
Gravel FillRoadways & Laneways
Farm lanes, yard roads, approaches and crossovers. The grid confines the aggregate so it resists the ravelling and corrugation that wreck unsealed roads.
DrainageDrainage & Permeable Surfaces
Filled with clean stone, the pavement itself becomes a drain — perfect for low-speed lots and runoff-sensitive areas.
Heavy DutyMining & Haul Roads
Stabilised haul roads, access tracks and laydown pads that carry heavy plant and truck traffic over soft or wet ground.
AgricultureEquestrian & Riding Arenas
A firm, level, free-draining base for riding arenas and barn aisles — no soft spots and no churned-up footing.
PermeableWalking Trails & Parks
Firm, accessible trails and park paths that drain naturally and blend into green space without paving it over.
And the list goes on

- RV & trailer pads
- Footpaths & walkways
- Mining & haul roads
- Erosion control
- Showroom floors

How It Works
Prep. Clip. Fill.
MAXABASE replaces the wearing course of a pavement. It goes down over a properly prepared base, locks together with integral snap-fit clips, and takes whatever fill the job calls for.
Step 1 — Prepare
Build the base
Grade and compact a granular base sized to your traffic and soil, like any flexible pavement. We design it to the ground you've actually got.
Step 2 — Clip
Lay & lock the grid
Panels snap together with integral self-locking clips into one continuous mat. Loaded trucks can drive on the empty grid while you work.
Step 3 — Fill
Concrete or gravel
Pour 20 MPa concrete for a hard floor, or spread granular fill for a permeable surface. The diamond cells confine the fill for good.

Engineering
Independently TestedTested. Not just claimed.
The grid has been put through independent flexural and compressive testing at a university composites lab, plus an independent pavement engineering review with full-scale Falling Weight Deflectometer testing on a working truck stop.

It doesn't fatigue
Unlike asphalt, the grid is not subject to fatigue cracking — it conforms to the base and keeps working. Field analysis found that a continuous 1.6 in concrete slab on the same base would crack under a single truck pass.
Drive on it empty
Compression testing showed a 4.9× safety factor on unfilled cells under every legal highway axle load — so fill trucks can run directly on the bare grid during construction.
Cast-in-place paver action
Concrete-filled, it behaves like brick paving cast in place: thousands of small interlocked concrete blocks separated by 0.12 in polypropylene walls — without the labour of laying pavers.

Sustainability
Built from recycled plastic.
Easy on the footprint.
In an independent comparison of equivalent pavements, the grid-based build produced roughly a third of the greenhouse gas emissions of a conventional reinforced concrete pavement.
Second life for plastic
Every panel is made from 100% recycled polypropylene — plastic put back to work instead of sent to landfill.
Less cement, less CO₂
Cement production accounts for roughly 7% of global emissions. Cutting concrete up to 60% or more cuts that footprint with it.
Rain goes where it should
Permeable fills let water drain straight through the surface — less runoff, less pooling, less erosion around your site.
Built to stay put
No fatigue cracking and no full-slab tear-outs down the road — a long service life means fewer materials used twice.
