Permeable Pavement Solutions

Building parking lots, driveways and roads using Ecoraster® Permeable Pavement helps to restore natural infiltration functions to the landscape and reduce impacts to watercourses by allowing rain/ stormwater to slowly infiltrate into the ground.  Contaminants are removed from the stormwater as it infiltrates slowly through the gravel sub-base and into the native soil.

The main environmental benefits of Ecoraster® are:

• reduction of runoff, which reduces flood risk, stream erosion and damage to downstream infrastructure;
• removal of contaminants from infiltrated stormwater; and
• reduction in heat flux from the pavement surface to the atmosphere, which helps to mitigate against the urban heat island.
