To prevent underground moisture penetrating into top pavement, I heared that a layer of a moisture barrier can be applied just beneath the pavement. This technique might have been used at Tennis Courts. Do you know where I can find the technical information about the moisture barrier and the manufacturers?

Depending on the situation, I do not think providing a barrier is wise, because depending on the loading, the supporting structure could fail. I would looka at the possibility of an underdrain system that would collect moisture and prevent any kind of water mounding under the pavement structure. KRS Services
