H₂0 Pro Pavers®

Storm water management with permeable paving units

H2O Pro Pavers® are the ideal storm water management product for reducing surface runoff and flooding, while maintaining a structural pavement for vehicle and foot traffic. As growing metropolitan communities demand more parking areas, roads and driveways, there is a reduced capacity for natural, sustainable infiltration. H2O Pro Pavers offer a cost-effective and low impact system to better manage environmental and economic impacts from storm water runoff and sediment while replenishing groundwater.

H2O Pro Pavers allow rain to infiltrate through the full perimeter joints of each paver into specially designed sub-base materials. Rainwater is naturally filtrated through the base materials before recharging the groundwater. H2O Pro Pavers can also be used to release storm water in a controlled method into retention or nonpotable irrigation systems.

Benefits

• Ideal water management system for residential, municipal and commercial applications, for both small and large-scale projects.
• Great for use in residential areas without downspouts or proper drainage materials.
• Environmentally friendly, allowing pollutants to be filtered and broken down “naturally”, keeping lakes, streams, rivers and other
  waterways cleaner.

Installation guidelings

1. Excavate an area to the appropriate depth. Consider the following site conditions:

• Water table height
• Rainfall frequency
• Storm water volume
• Permeability of sub-grade
• Special drainage considerations

2. Backfill with clean 2” - 3” open graded (clear crushed) aggregates. This sub base material generally comprises a minimum 12” thick layer, vibrated in 4-inch lifts using a plate compactor.

3. Add a 4” base course of 3/4” - 1” open graded (clear crushed) aggregates over the compacted sub base.

4. Screed level a 2” bedding course of 3/8” open graded (clear crushed) aggregates over the base material before the installation of H2O Pro Pavers. This is the same material used in the drainage voids between pavers.
