There is a good selection of systems on the market, and choice of the

most suitable systems for any particular project will need to take into

account planned usage, anticipated loads, volume and type of traffic,

existing ground conditions, drainage and, of course, cost. Many of the

most popular systems are based on a hexagonal cell, although square

cells systems are available. The key points to note with any system is the

open percentage, both at the top surface and at the base.
