Current impermeable roads contribute to flash flooding. Permeable pavements, unlike conventional asphalt paving, allows water to pass through the surface, reducing stormwater runoff and pollution in waterways. Current permeable pavements are not suitable for roads, but our cutting-edge product ticks all the boxes our competitors can’t, to provide you robust, flood-free roads! We divert waste tyres from landfills by reusing them in an engineered permeable pavement. The mission of the company is to minimise the waste tyres going to landfills and the risk of flash floods in urban areas. This mission can be accomplished by using our product to cover all of the carparks, and lightly-trafficked areas – Which was impossible before! We design an engineered pavement system for different applications, from pedestrian walkways to carparks and lightly-trafficked areas! The pavement design and the material are specifically designed for each application based on the experimental knowledge and real-scale trials in Australia. Our product has been engineered both in terms of materials we use and the design of the pavement layers. This has made our product promising thanks to its flexibility and strength both at the same time. It will not get cracked when loads are applied or ground displacements are imposed to the pavement, while still has enough bearing capacity to support the traffic loads.
