Permeable pavements, unlike conventional asphalt paving allow water to pass through the surface, reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in waterways.
Research conducted by University of Melbourne aims to make permeable pavements more resilient to heavy loads. The flexibility provided by the combination of soft tyres and rigid crushed rock particles, bonded together by a polyurethane binder, can be used to reduce cracks caused by movements by natural ground while sustaining light traffic loads. The high infiltration rate of this blend can be used to reduce the impacts of localised flash-flooding.
Permeable Pavement is made with up to 60% end of life tyre material, permeable pavement provides many benefits including:
-Reduces and treats run-off
-Increases site permeability
-Sustainable alternative to porous concrete and porous asphalt
-Mitigates localised and downstream flooding
-Reduces urban heat island effects
-Can be used for on-site detention
-Flexible material provides minimises tree root heaves
-Decreases risk of downstream erosion
-Replenishes groundwater tables
Permeable pavement is suitable for pathways, carparks and tree surrounds, it is available in a range of colours, for more information visit https://www.porouslane.com.au/
