How it works
Permeable Paving
The basic systems of permeable pavement design fall into three categories depending upon site specific requirements:
A) Infiltration
It is recognised that total infiltration is generally the preferred design option and should be utilised as source control wherever possible. In this solution rainfall passes through the joints, through the pavement and infiltrates into the sub-grade, helping with ground water recharge. In many sites due to site conditions, this simply is not a workable option.
B) Partial Infiltration
This option is being increasingly used on low permeability sites where a proportion of the run-off is drained through infiltration and the remainder is discharged into an appropriate outfall.
C) Attenuation
This assumes no infiltration and utilises an impermeable geomembrane to achieve temporary storage prior to controlled discharge or re-use.
