Permeable Paving Stones
Permeable Paving Stone |
As urbanization increases, so too does the concentration of pavements, building foundations and other impervious surfaces. During rainstorms, these surfaces generate additional water runoff, contributing to erosion, and carry harmful pollutants that may contaminate sources of drinking water. In response, Techo-Bloc has created the Permea Paver, a stone that promotes the proper percolation of surface water to the ground, thus allowing the water to return naturally to its source.
