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.
  • ✦ Higher cement content
  • ✦ Reducing water cement ratio
  • ✦ Better workability and hence better compaction
