Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An Australian permeable-concrete system designed to move rain through pavement, store it in the aggregate base, and reduce conventional stormwater infrastructure.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The system is organized as surface, aggregate base, and subgrade: water passes through the concrete, occupies voids between washed stone, then infiltrates or reaches an underdrain. The page’s example uses 4,000 m² of pavement, 90 mm/hr rainfall, and a 300 mm base to calculate 384,000 L of storage and 1 hour 7 minutes before the base fills. Results are labeled indicative and based on a steady-intensity balance.
