A ballast block is disclosed in the form of a planar plate member. The plate member has a top and bottom surface, front and rear end portions and oppositely disposed lateral edges. The end portions include a mechanism for preventing substantial uplift and rotational displacement of the block when its end portions are interlinked in overlapping relationship with the corresponding end portions of like ballast blocks.

A ballast block assembly comprising: a plurality of ballast blocks, each said block adapted to rest upon a supporting surface without being attached to the supporting surface, each said block being in the form of a planar plate member having top and bottom surfaces, front and rear end portions aligned substantially orthogonally to a first plate axis, and oppositely disposed lateral side portions aligned substantially orthogonally to a second plate axis, said axes lying within the plane of said plate member, said bottom surface including a plurality of pad members upon which said ballast block is adapted to rest and engage the supporting surface to permit the flow of liquid beneath said bottom surface; each said end portion including means for linking adjacently aligned blocks to prevent substantial uplift and rotational displacement of said blocks when the front and rear end portions of each block are interconnected in overlapping relationship with corresponding front and rear end portions of adjacent blocks; said plurality of blocks being aligned to abut the lateral side portions of aligned blocks and to interlink in overlapping relationship the front and rear end portions of adjacent blocks; and means for clamping the abutting lateral side portions of at least a portion of said aligned blocks.
