This fact sheet details the benefits, design factors and target pollutants of permeable pavers.
Design Scale: Precinct, Street
Pervious paving can be used as an alternative to traditional impervious hard surfaces used in roads, carparks, footpaths, and public squares or plazas. Pervious pavement reduces runoff as some of the rainfall infiltrates into the soil below. Pervious pavement can also provide an additional water storage system. There is a variety of pervious pavements such as porous asphalt, porous turf, porous concrete, and permeable paving blocks.
