Permeable paving surfaces
keep the pollutants in place in the soil or other material underlying the roadway, and allow water seepage to groundwater recharge while preventing the stream erosion problems. They capture the heavy metals that fall on them, preventing them from washing downstream and accumulating inadvertently in the environment. In the void spaces, naturally occurring micro-organisms digest car oils, leaving little but carbon dioxide and water; the oil ceases to exist as a pollutant. Rainwater infiltration is usually less than that of an impervious pavement with a separate stormwater management facility somewhere downstream. Another use for the thinner versions of plastic paving grids such as Ecogrid x30 is in catering /kitchen situations to cover areas of the floor where slipping may be a problem such as food preparation areas. Also in engineering situations where oil and or grease splilliage may be a problem.
Advantages of permeable paving
Permeable paving surfaces have been demonstrated as effective in managing runoff from paved surfaces. Large volumes of urban runoff causes serious erosion and siltation in surface water bodies.
A general term which covers the categories as listed below.
Geotextiles
Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with
soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain.
Typically made from polypropylene or polyester, geotextile fabrics come
in three basic forms: woven (looks like mail bag sacking), needle punched
(looks like felt), or heat bonded (looks like ironed felt).
Geomembranes
Geomembranes are made of various materials. Some common geomembrane materials
are EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene Monomer), Low-Density Polyethylene
(LDPE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurea
and Polypropylene (PP). Another type of geomembrane is bituminous geomembrane
(such as Teranap), which is made up of a non-woven polyester geotextile
and glass fleece, impregnated in SBS modified bitumen.
