grid Explanation: Looking at google images it looks like concrete grid paving ( also found an online technical dictionary that translates as lattice concrete but not so keen on this translation). In any case the concrete grid system seems to be used primarily for drives and pavements (appears to be the case in both Italy and the UK) so not sure if this fits your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2011-10-25 00:34:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A7x9QX8... http://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0PDodv... |

grasscrete Explanation: This is actually a trade name of a company called Grass Concrete Ltd. http://www.grasscrete.com/docs/paving/grasscrete.html but, rather like Hoover with vacuum cleaners, has become a generic term for concrete grid or cellular paving. |
