ICBP (Interlocking Concrete Block pavement) technology has been introduced in India in construction, few decades ago, for specific requirement like footpaths, parking areas etc. but now being adopted extensively in different uses where the construction of pavement using hot bituminous mix or cement concrete technology is not feasible or desirable.

The concrete mix is blended in varying quantities with either mixed or singular colors then allowed to dry and set in shaped molds. These are tough, strong, and durable. Also, they can sustain all types of climatic conditions.
