Evaluation

This permeable concrete holds great promise as a paving material that will improve environments troubled by the heat island phenomenon and flooding due to torrential rain. We greatly admired its outstanding permeability, which allows rainwater to filter through into the ground, as well as the fact that it offers better durability and weather resistance than conventional permeable concrete. By creating a situation close to that found in nature, in which the ground absorbs rainwater and recycles it, this product is expected not only to alleviate the burden on drainage systems during torrential downpours, but also to serve as a solution that helps to curb the depletion of groundwater and rising temperatures in cities.
