The new BREINCO's draining pavement, which is able to support transit traffic by regular cars, allows to retain over 10 cm of water per square meter promoting runoff peak delays and reducing damages due to urban flood events. The permeable pavement also contribute to recharge groundwater bodies and to reduce the urban heat effect.
Developed by INDUSTRIAL BREINCO
The draining pavement, which can be placed in pedestrian areas, vehicle traffic areas and parking areas, acts as a network of canals able to collect and retain rain and storm waters in the urban subsoil and reduce their entry into the sewer network. As a whole, the system would have a similar effect than a storm tank.
See more information about this level and the TRL and SRL levels.
The drainage pavement consists of a set of “accumulation cells” which are underlain by a gravel subbase layer. The pavement collects the storm water allowing its movement through itself and its accumulation in the pavement-gravel subbase system. The total height of the pavement-gravel subbase system can be higher than 50 cm. which makes possible to store more than 10 cm of water per square meter.
Limitations/conditions under which this innovation does not work or is less effective
Our solution does not withstand heavy wheeled traffic.
Added value
Our solution provides a higher storage capacity than current permeable pavements available for pedestrian and traffic transit areas.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
