Special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge.
Application
Water Permeable Concrete is used in,
✦ Pavements
✦ Streets, roads etc for reducing water logging.
Properties
Permeable concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab.
