Our chairman Michael Heap has worked with the British Standards Institution for many years. They have recently updated the British Standard for the design of pavements constructed with natural stone or concrete. This Standard provide guidance for the design and installation, (laid bound or unbound), of modular stone, concrete or clay paving; including setts, blocks, pavers, slabs and flags. The new standard, BS 7533-101, updates the existing BS 7533 series by consolidating several of the previous design standards into one document. The first part of the standard is now available to view on the official website at www.bsigroup.com. Accreditations 8
