From Belgium, Designey Concrete Pavers that Solve for Drainage
Ad 728×90
Parking lots, driveways and bicycle paths should be paved. But laying them out presents a problem for planners, which is water management.
The pavement needs to be crowned or slanted, and water needs to be directed towards a drainage source, the design of which can become another project altogether. It would be far better if rain could drain naturally, the way it does on grassy soil.
Gravel is another good solution, but it has a tendency to migrate over time, and thus requires neverending maintenance. Belgian design and engineering firm Prodotto devised a solution.
