Species-appropriate outdoor cattle enclosures
Ecological, without substructure & flexible
Heavily frequented enclosure or watering areas quickly develop into unhygienic and steadily deepening mud holes as a result of the point loads from cattle hooves. Concrete – the cheapest option for paving – is dry, but the surface becomes soil-sealed and irreparably ruined. Furthermore, such hard surfaces are bad for the animals’ joints.
How can we provide cattle with animal-friendly and ecologically sustainable surface reinforcement?
The goal is to create level, dry and clean paths and watering stations that are easy on the joints.
HÜBNER-LEE’s solution to this is the TTE® system.

TTE® stands for Total, Traffic Exopave
- Does WITHOUT a substructure thanks to the high self-supporting capacity of the elements
- Laid directly on the ground (ON-TOP principle, no excavation necessary)
- Separation layer and base course in a single system
- Can be laid QUICKLY and EASILY by the customer
- For cattle halls/corrals and paths
- Ensures drainage thanks to ON-TOP construction principle and high joint ratio (for cattle halls, TTE® is filled with concrete)
- Remains permanently level thanks to 4-sided connection system
- Durable and retains its value, can be removed and reused without damage
- Shock-absorbing => easy on the joints thanks to the flexible connection between individual elements
WHAT is TTE®?
Separation layer & base course in a single system
TTE® elements are significantly more stable and heavier than other riding arena grids, paddock mats or turf honeycombs. Thanks to its high self-supporting capacity and intelligent load distribution, no base course material is required at all, and the TTE® construction principle can be used to lay the reinforcement directly on the surface.
TTE® Total Traffic Exopave
- TTE® replaces the base course. All you require is a 0-5 cm levelling layer, the chamber filling and a covering layer if necessary.
- Hence, with TTE®, you save significantly on costs for materials and labour.
- Thanks to the ON-TOP principle, water can continuously seep into the ground, and the area can be used all year round.
HOW does TTE® work? (With cattle paths as an example.)
Build WITHOUT A SUBSTRUCTURE thanks to intelligent load distribution.
Thanks to the high self-supporting capacity and 4-sided connection principle of the TTE® elements, point loads from hooves are distributed over a wide area. Hence, TTE® replaces the base course. The ground of the riding arena or the ground covering in the enclosure is neither soil-sealed nor compacted. This eliminates the need for cost-intensive materials and construction labour (excavation, procurement and installation of base course material).
WHICH functions does the TTE® system offer?
(With cattle paths as an example.)
NO more MUD
- No soil sealing/compaction of the ground
- Long-term permeability
- Features forced joints
=> mud formation is impossible
Permanently LEVEL
- 4-sided connection system => permanently level
Joint-friendly
- Installed directly on natural ground => hard on soft
- Reduced wear on joints and underlying layer
- Better shock absorption thanks to elastic layer => forest floor effect
Ecological & low-odour
- Preserved topsoil (microorganisms) filters and breaks down pollutants
- Low-odour, hygienic surfaces
- Does not disturb the ground => significantly facilitates approval procedures
The TTE® construction principle stands for species-appropriate animal husbandry and is environmentally sustainable.
