Permeable Concrete Block Paving
We specialise in permeable concrete block paving, designed to enhance drainage and reduce local flooding without compromising on design.
What is permeable paving?
Permeable concrete paving is specified across commercial, public realm and highways schemes to manage surface water at source, supporting compliance with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) requirements. Marshalls' permeable paving allows rainwater to filter through the joints, reaching a specially prepared sub-base. This sub-base acts as an attenuation tank, storing water until it soaks into the ground or is channelled into a watercourse at a controlled rate.
What are the benefits of choosing permeable paving?
- Reduced Flooding: If there is a lot of rainfall in a short space of time, it can impact a drainage system. Permeable paving absorbs water at the source, diverting it away from drains and sewers.
- Natural Filtration: Water that falls on permeable concrete block paving will be naturally filtered as it flows through the level below the paving stones. Impurities are removed and this can help to prevent water pollution.
- SuDS Compliance: Specifying permeable concrete block paving can support planning conditions requiring sustainable drainage, helping schemes meet SuDS standards without compromising on design.
