Permeable/Porous Surfaces

Minimize water detention, prevent runoff, and filter pollutants with porous paving solutions

Ferguson Waterworks leads the industry with innovative, sustainable, and permeable paving solutions. Made of either a porous material that enables stormwater to flow through it, a cellular paver system to provide depth and confinement for a drainage fill material, or nonporous blocks spaced so water can flow between the gaps, these systems encourage the infiltration of stormwater without compromising structural integrity. Furthermore, they offer load distribution and control surficial rutting issues. Since porous surfaces encourage stormwater to permeate through the system, they often contribute to LEED credits. In addition, they are a prominent LID solution to minimize the impact of impervious cover restrictions. Rather than planning to move water into traditional drainage systems, such as a series of ditches, swales, or detention ponds, permeable paving grants the option to store stormwater within and below the stormwater system.
