Permeable Pavement is a new concept for building energy-efficient model pavements, incorporating innovative materials and ideas. Permeable Pavement utilizes scientific and technological materials and renewable resources during its production process, establishing an important link in the green industrial chain, such as rainwater collection, leveraging the advantages of scientific research, and enhancing the overall value of resource by-products.
In the building materials industry, the Shanghai World Expo, Changfeng Park, and Zhoushan Palace Park have utilized the research outcomes of Permeable Pavement. It is installed in accordance with Shanghai's energy-saving building standards. The production uses concrete as a base for houses, yards, and walkways, all featuring colored permeable pavement. Its design allows for simple and efficient on-site construction that is quick and high-efficiency. In addition to pouring concrete and permeable materials, there is no other wet work involved, significantly reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional brick and concrete methods, thus lowering construction costs.
Permeable Pavement is a porous, lightweight, non-drying concrete aggregate that is coated with a binding material, known for its honeycomb structure. The evenly distributed voids, combined with its permeability and lightweight characteristics, make permeable concrete different from conventional concrete, featuring distinct properties such as lower density, less noticeable capillary action of water, high permeability, and simple design for green and eco-friendly pavement materials.
Permeable Pavement typically features an attractive appearance, excellent infiltration, and sufficient rainwater collection capabilities, providing remarkable economic and environmental benefits. Furthermore, permeable pavement offers sound absorption, flood prevention, and mitigation of urban heat island effects, making it an innovative material that contributes to the restoration of ecological environments and sustainable development for humanity.
