Permeable By Design

Resistance to freeze/thaw:

Effectively designed water management systems incorporating Permaflow offer excellent resistance to damage caused by the ‘freeze thaw’ effect. This is achieved by the efficient movement of water through the system to lower layer management.

Should water be able to settle within the Permaflow material and freeze, the open, interconnected void matrix will overcome any risk of damage from expansive forces caused by freeze-thaw.

Permaflow permeable concrete can be used on an extensive range of applications, including:

Applications

Pavements, pathways, driveways & swimming pool decks
Car parks and minor road strips
Green walls and patio areas
Multi-use games areas
Beneath permeable blocks such as CEMEX Readyflow

Permeable concrete has a number of benefits including:

Features and Benefits

Improves drainage through the uniquely designed water management system
Limits Storm Impact - Reduces stormwater run-off
Cost-effective for accelerating construction and reducing pipe sections
Increases water infiltration to preserve soil natural conditions
Aesthetically Pleasing - Improves aesthetic appearance
Consistence Retention - Provides consistence retention up to at least 90 mins

Vertua - More sustainable by design

The Vertua water conservation label is awarded to selected products characterised by their positive impact on the environment by either reducing water consumption during construction or enabling water to filter back to the soil.

Further information on Performance and Maintenance

To ensure the flow characteristics of Permaflow continue to perform effectively, a regular inspection and cleaning programme should be established to prevent the void matrix from becoming blocked.

Light pressure washing and suction cleaning may be used. Environmental factors local to the product will determine the frequency of this maintenance programme.
