EcoPave™ Permeable Paving Benefits
- Reduces rainfall runoff from hard surfaces, decreasing the demand on drainage systems
- Reduces the need for retention structures (e.g. ground sumps, ponds or dams) and maximises land use by retaining water within the Permeable Paving System.
- Recharges natural groundwater and aquifers
- Improves hydrological response of stormwater peak flow by holding and releasing in a controlled manner
- Filters run off water by removing heavy metals such as zinc and copper through cationic exchange when using greywacke sub base drainage aggregates
- This product is one of the solutions for storm water management in the proposed unitary plan (Auckland only)
