porous concrete

Porous concrete, also known as permeable or pervious concrete, is a type of concrete designed to allow water to pass through its surface. It contains interconnected pores that enable water to drain into the ground below, reducing surface runoff and helping manage stormwater. Made with less fine material and more aggregate, it maintains strength while promoting water infiltration. This makes porous concrete an environmentally friendly option for driveways, walkways, and parking lots, as it helps prevent flooding, recharge groundwater, and sustain natural water cycles without compromising durability.
