Pervious Concrete
Novum Concrete’s Pervious Concrete is an eco-friendly, permeable mix designed to allow water to pass through it, reducing surface runoff and promoting natural groundwater recharge.
This innovative concrete is perfect for projects focused on sustainability and environmental management. It combines durability with efficient stormwater management, making it an excellent choice for urban and rural developments in Kenya where heavy rainfall and drainage are significant concerns.
Key Benefits
- Helps reduce flooding and manage stormwater by allowing water to permeate through the concrete surface.
- Promotes groundwater recharge and reduces the strain on drainage systems, making it ideal for sustainable construction.
- Its porous structure reflects less heat, contributing to cooler surface temperatures in urban areas.
- Requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional pavements and reduces the need for drainage solutions.
Applications in Kenya
In Kenya, where proper stormwater management is crucial due to seasonal rainfall and urbanization, Pervious Concrete is ideal for:
- Parking lots: Perfect for parking areas where managing water runoff and reducing flooding is important.
- Driveways and walkways: Provides a durable, permeable surface for residential driveways and public walkways, allowing rainwater to pass through.
- Urban and rural roads: Useful for light-traffic roads in both urban and rural areas to prevent water pooling and reduce erosion.
- Parks and recreational areas: Ideal for pathways in parks, gardens, and other green spaces, ensuring water is absorbed naturally into the ground.
