Solving the Urban Drainage Problem with Porous Asphalt

Are you tired of flooded streets every time it rains? It seems that the solution might be closer than we think. I present ULTIPOROUS, a next-generation porous asphalt that can absorb up to 880 gallons of water. It is an innovation in the world of urban infrastructure that combines durability and excellent drainage.

ULTIPOROUS: What Is It?

ULTIPOROUS is a rapidly draining porous asphalt, ideal for sidewalks, parking lots, footpaths, and public spaces, both in residential and commercial environments. It utilizes advanced binder technology and, when combined with a specially designed porous binder layer, provides effective drainage while maintaining long-term durability.

Why Choose ULTIPOROUS?

Rapid Drainage: The asphalt quickly absorbs water, preventing puddles and accumulation.
Fewer Interruptions: As it absorbs water, it reduces the risk of flooding and traffic disruptions.
Meets Planning Standards: ULTIPOROUS meets planning requirements for sustainable drainage systems.
Contractor Support: Companies that choose this solution receive complete technical support.

Practical Applications

Sidewalks: A 6mm layer of porous asphalt is recommended, with a thickness of 30mm.
Cycling Paths and Footpaths: A 6mm layer is also used, with a recommended thickness of 30mm.
Parking Lots: For these areas, a porous surface layer of 10mm is recommended, with a thickness of 35mm.

Environmental Care

Traditionally, paved surfaces are designed to repel water, which often overloads drainage systems, especially after heavy rains. ULTIPOROUS, on the other hand, has an open structure that allows rainwater to flow quickly into the ground, helping to prevent water accumulation and local flooding.
