With continuing water restrictions and ever-growing urban land development, architects, designers and landscape architects are under increasing pressure to incorporate water management systems that maximize the use of water resources.
A permeable pavement system such as Adbri Masonry’s Ecopave range forms a series of drainage holes in the pavement surface. These drainage holes are filled with a small aggregate allowing water to pass through the surface layers, minimizing stormwater run-off, downstream flooding, pollution problems, as well as reducing moisture evaporation from base courses.
Sydney Olympic Park and many other Australian projects, large and small, utilize permeable paving systems as a practical, effective solution to water management issues.
