Climate adaptation with water-permeable paving
Climate change is having a profound impact on our living environment. Vandersanden believes in the power of water-permeable paving and in sharing knowledge.
Drainflow® water-permeable paving
Drainflow® is the name for water-permeable clay pavers, a type of permeable paving developed by Vandersanden and available in more than ten colours. With Drainflow® water-permeable clay paving, rainwater infiltrates into the ground during extreme peak rainfall. This helps prevent flooded streets and other forms of water nuisance.
Your benefits with Drainflow® water-permeable paving:
- High infiltration capacity: >1,100 l/s/ha (initial value).
- No compromises when it comes to the appearance of the streetscape.
- The same level of durability as conventional clay pavers.
- Low environmental impact: average lifespan of 135 years, 90% reuse.
- Choose the natural materials for the sub-base yourself.
- Can eliminate the need for costly measures such as separate sewer systems.
- Ideal for water storage where space is limited.
Shape your route to tomorrow
The way climate adaptation and water-permeable or water-infiltrating paving are implemented depends on the local situation. Factors include differences in elevation, groundwater levels and rainfall, as well as the amount of available space, subsoil, paving and buildings. Vandersanden provides the knowledge and clear, practical and manageable solutions that every party can work with effectively. Because the best results are achieved together.
