PERMEABLE PAVING AND SUDS
A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.
This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.
Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.
These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well Driveline.
The blocks are interlocked by a nib at the edges. This creates surface stability, but also creates voids that surface water can easily flow through to a sub-base.
We work in Rolleston plus these local areas and more:
This system allows for a slow release into the environment of surface water through a process called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. Permeable pavement and SuDS balance the situation, allowing ground to absorb, store, then slowly release the water in controlled ways – just like a big soakaway.
Geotextile is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.
Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. All work is 100% guaranteed.
