What is Water Sensitive Urban Design?
A way of integrating the water cycle with the built environment for good planning.
Premier Hydropavers® are a fully permeable paver designed to imitate the way natural land absorbs water by allowing up to 25 mm per minute to go through its entirely permeable body. Hydropavers can absorb ample amounts of stormwater in order to keep the hardscapes free of water accumulation, eliminate runoff and provide wide range environmental advantages and health benefits.
Premier Hydropavers® are made from crushed recycled ceramic tiles and pressed into moulds at 1,600 tonnes and fired at 1,200°C. Heating the material to below its melting point forms strong bonds between the individual grains and creating voids that allow water to go through its entire body whilst offering a breaking point of up to 20 kN, effectively allowing it to be used in the most demanding conditions.
What makes Premier Hydropavers® unique is that they are 100% permeable across its surface, which significantly increases the amount of stormwater it can manage. The benefits of this solution include;
