With continuing water restrictions and growing urban land development, architects and designers are under increasing pressure to incorporate water management systems that maximize the use of water resources.
Adbri Masonry’s Ecotrihex permeable pavement system is a proven component in water-sensitive urban design (WSUD). Through a series of drainage gaps filled with a small aggregate on the pavement surface, Ecotrihex paving systems allow water to pass through the surface layers, minimizing stormwater run-off, downstream flooding, pollution problems and moisture evaporation from base courses.
Ecotrihex permeable pavement systems also have the ability to harvest water run-off that has permeated through surface layers which, depending on the area, can equate to large amounts of water suitable for later use.
