Did you know that providing sufficient water for the rapidly growing urban population has become the greatest challenge faced by governments and urban administrators worldwide?
Problems associated with conventional stormwater drainage systems have become evident with the increase in stormwater runoff and the high percentage of pollution in outfall waterways.
Permapave™ Industries, LLC provides a practical and economical solution to eliminate pollutants from waterways and to reduce urban water wastage. The key to modern urban water management is reducing the quantity of stormwater diverted to outfall, reducing the contamination of stormwater at outfall and increasing the volume of water that can be diverted to subterranean aquifers.
The increased demand for urban water and the high rate of water supply pollution will soon adversely impact every urban dweller worldwide, leading the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to enforce strict requirements to manage water resources with sustainable solutions that enhance the level of protection to water quality.
Permapave™ has recognized the EPA’s requirements and has engaged in a worldwide effort to bring a crucial change in the approach to drainage design with the primary goal to provide the solution to urban water pollution.
Thirty years ago these problems did not exist. Twenty years ago they were identified as a possible problem for the future. Today they threaten our urban way of life.
Permapave™ offers products that are the most cost effective and offer significant environmental advantages compared to concrete or asphalt surfaced pavements in terms of water quantity control and water quality improvement. The cost of permeable pavements, with its built-in stormwater management, is less than that of impervious pavements with a separate stormwater management facility.
•Permeable paving is compliant with EPA requirements and recognized as Best Management Practice.
•The quality of water is improved by the natural process that occurs within permeable pavements.
•Enhancement of bio-diversity and amenity values.
•Re-use of rainwater.
•Minimal excavation.
Health & Safety Benefits
Permeable pavements drain down quickly after rainfall and therefore you will not find a significant volume of water within the pavements, making it a misconception that permeable pavement may be a health hazard. Permapave™ products are easily assessable and considered a very safe structure when compared to traditional storm drainage designs.
Additional Benefits:
•Permeable pavers efficiently remove surface water and provide initial filtration.
•Reduce the amount of runoff by directing the water to re-charge or storage.
•Permapave™ maximizes land use by using the permeable pavement as a rainwater retention facility and provides quick and easy removal for underground utility repairs.
•Eliminates standing water on pavement.
•Controls erosion in streambeds and riverbanks.
•Accommodates detention facility requirements.
•Qualifies for Credit 6 – LEED: Limits disruption of natural water flows by minimizing stormwater runoff, increasing on-site infiltration, and reducing contaminants.
•Qualifies for Credit 7 – LEED: Light colored pavers reduce heat island affect.
•Groundwater recharge.
•Reduces thermal water pollution.
•Permapave™ meets and exceeds non-slip standards.
•Permapave™ pavers comply with standards for masonry units, segmental pavers, and flags.
•Long-term durability.
•Ease in repair.
•Additional oil separation technique is not required.
•Water does not freeze and therefore will not cause damage to the pavement structure. Water will drain down before freezing can occur; frost penetration is shallower within permeable pavements than in conventional pavements.
•Stormwater harvesting for reuse.
•Reduces soil migration and erosion.
PERMAPAVE™ INDUSTRIES, LLC TO BE FEATURED ON
“EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION” NEW ORLEANS
JERICHO, NY.— PERMAPAVE™ Industries, LLC, will be among a group of vendors and builders from Louisiana and across the nation to join Deltec Homes for ABC’s Season Finale of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in New Orleans.
Permapave™ Industries, based in Jericho, NY, will be providing natural stone pavers to the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" design team to help rebuild a home damaged by hurricane and a subsequent tornado two years ago. The seven-day build in the greater New Orleans area is the show's last stop on a 50-state tour and will wrap up the show's season. The build will be March 6-14, and the two-hour episode will air on ABC at 8 PM EST on May 18th. This season of Extreme Makeover there will be a “green” element on every episode, with eco-friendly, low energy and recyclable sources being incorporated into the builds.
Permapave™ Industries, LLC, manufacturers & distributors of unprecedented earth-friendly designs and technology, is committed to providing developers, engineers, and design consultants with the solution to reduce urban runoff pollution and achieve compliance with clean water regulations. Engaging in a worldwide effort to bring a crucial change in the approach to drainage design, Permapave™ takes the green approach to providing the easy solution to an intricate problem with projects that are profitable but good for the sustainability of the environment.
