Permeable Pavement is a new environmentally friendly and ecological road material that has been increasingly gaining attention, especially in the industry. The surface of modern cities is mostly covered by reinforced concrete buildings and impermeable pavements. Compared to natural soil, conventional concrete pavements lack the ability to breathe, absorb heat, and permeate rainwater, resulting in a series of environmental issues. Consequently, concrete has been regarded as a major culprit in harming nature. However, by creating continuous open spaces, it is possible to establish a connection point with the natural environment.
As an environmentally friendly concrete, Permeable Pavement is an innovative material that improves and restores the damaged global environment, allowing human life to coexist harmoniously with nature and promoting sustainable development.
Permeable Pavement is also known as ecological permeable pavement, permeable concrete, un-sanded concrete, etc.,、 made from aggregates, binders, additives, cement, water, etc., which are mixed evenly and laid as pavement. It has higher strength and durability than traditional concrete, meeting the mechanical performance, usability, and lifespan requirements of structures. It is compatible with the natural environment, reducing the load on the earth and ecological environment, and achieving the recyclable use of non-renewable resources; it has excellent usability, providing a comfortable, convenient living environment for humanity.
Permeable Pavement allows rainwater to quickly enter the ground, effectively replenishing groundwater and alleviating the urban heat island effect,
protecting urban natural water systems from damage and possessing strong environmental protection value. At the same time, it addresses the issue of water accumulation on conventional pavements, enhancing walking safety and comfort, which is also significant for improving the living environment.
Permeable concrete retains the characteristics of traditional concrete while overturning its single gray color, presenting a vibrant variety of colors. Using various colors makes the pavement integrate with buildings and landscapes, creating a warm and harmonious living environment!
Functional Features:
1、High permeability. Permeable Pavement has a porosity of 15%-25%, allowing a permeability rate of 31-52 liters per meter per hour, far exceeding the discharge rate of effective rainfall under excellent drainage conditions.
2、High load-bearing capacity. As determined by national inspection agencies, the load-bearing capacity of permeable pavement can fully meet the bearing standards of C20-C25 concrete, which is higher than the load-bearing capacity of conventional permeable bricks.
3、Excellent decorative effect. Permeable Pavement features a color optimized matching plan that can collaborate with designers to achieve different environmental and characteristic decorative styles, which is difficult to accomplish with conventional permeable bricks.
4、Easy maintenance. Concerns about pore blockage are unnecessary; the unique permeable paving system can be easily addressed by high-pressure water washing.
5、Frost resistance. Permeable paving has better frost resistance than conventional concrete pavements and will not crack due to freeze-thaw effects, as its structure has larger pores.
6、Durability. The durability and wear resistance of permeable pavement outperform asphalt and are comparable to conventional pavements, avoiding the short lifespan and economic inefficiencies often found with conventional permeable bricks.
7、High heat dissipation. The lower density of the material (15-25% porosity) reduces heat retention capability, and the unique pore structure allows lower underground temperatures to transfer to the surface, thereby reducing the overall surface temperature. These features make permeable paving systems comparable to natural vegetation-covered surfaces in terms of heat absorption and storage.
Applicable Scope
