Chris Griffiths of Marshalls challenges some of the common misconceptions about permeable paving in controlling surface water<\/h2>\n

As we continue to develop over green land, we are fundamentally altering the way rainwater affects our landscapes. Increased levels of impermeable, hard standing areas (such as roads, roofs and paved surfaces) intercept and redirect surface water run-off before it has a chance to infiltrate naturally into the ground. This creates a number of problems, which are likely to get worse as global development continues.<\/p>\n

Permeable paving combines hard standing with a proven Sustainable Drainage System<\/a> (SuDS), and works in a very different way to traditional paving. It is designed to allow rainfall to permeate immediately through the surface near to where the raindrop lands \u2013 so surface ponding is completely eradicated without the need for an additional channel drainage system. The water flows into a specially prepared sub-base, where the voids between the stones act as a temporary reservoir. During a rainstorm, the water is collected in the sub-base before it is released slowly by natural infiltration into the ground beneath the pavement, into the main sewer at a controlled rate via a flow restrictor, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n

However, many are still wary about implementing permeable paving due to some common misconceptions. It is important to eradicate these modern-day myths as flooding is becoming an increasing concern for many and when planning a construction project that involves hard landscaping, it is vital to take drainage into consideration \u2013 even if the build isn\u2019t taking place in a flood risk area. Preventing excess water run-off in all areas reduces the worst of the effects for areas that will be affected downstream.<\/p>\n

Marshalls\u2019 water expert Chris Griffiths discusses some of the many commonly help misconceptions surrounding permeable paving, and how developers shouldn\u2019t fear using this product.<\/p>\n

Cannot be used on clay soils<\/h3>\n

It is commonly believed that because clay is dense and difficult for water to permeate, stored rainwater will \u2018back up\u2019 and fill up the sub-base. This situation can be avoided using simple engineering. When the ground isn\u2019t sufficiently porous to allow the stored water to infiltrate into the ground quickly enough, the sub-base can be tanked and outflow pipes installed to release the water to a specified location or watercourse at a controlled rate. The aperture of pipe dictates the rate at which the excess is released. This kind of tanked system (making up approximately 50% of Marshalls systems) can be used regardless of the ground conditions \u2013 and still slows the flow, holds back and cleans the water.<\/p>\n

Damaged by frost\/freezing in winter<\/h3>\n

Any surfacing product that is slightly absorbent can potentially suffer with frost during the winter months, as water collects in voids in the surface and then expands when it freezes \u2013 thus \u2018blowing apart\u2019 the surface. However, with permeable block paving, water never sits on the surface for long enough to freeze, as it flows quickly down the voids and into the sub-base. This is not always the case with permeable macadam or permeable concrete, where the voids in the material are far smaller and therefore likely to collect rainwater.<\/p>\n

Clog easily and stop working<\/h3>\n

We have been installing permeable paving for over 15 years and in all that time, we have never experienced any issues with clogging. Even if mud or weeds appear to have blocked the voids, it\u2019s important to remember that these aren\u2019t impermeable materials! The gaps between Marshalls Priora blocks have been engineered to be far wider than they need to be, so even when they appear to be clogged, water will still find its way quickly through to the sub-base. Even if the worst were to happen and a local area of a permeable pavement were clogged with some kind of impermeable material (a concrete spillage, perhaps), the water would flow to the nearest area that\u2019s not clogged and infiltrate there. You can see a video about the maintenance of permeable paving here:<\/p>\n

Expensive to buy<\/h3>\n

As with any project, you have to compare the total cost of a system rather than just the surfacing product. Priced on a per metre basis, permeable blocks may be slightly more expensive than an equivalent area macadam surface, but when other factors such as linear drainage and water storage are factored in, permeable and non-permeable paving projects work out at broadly the same cost. However, when linear drainage gets blocked, the rectification costs are significant because it\u2019s difficult to access and clear the underground pipes. Should permeable paving require any kind of maintenance, a surface brushing is all that\u2019s required, so ongoing maintenance costs of permeable paving are usually lower than impermeable alternatives.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t use permeable paving in heavy loaded areas<\/h3>\n

Work Marshalls has undertaken with Professor John Knapton has proven that permeable paving can certainly be used in heavy loaded areas. Our research (which comprised of a combination of desktop studies, field testing process and in-situ performance data) proved that Priora blocks interlock better than standard block paving \u2013 reducing the pressure on the sub-base by up to 40%. This makes permeable paving an excellent solution for heavy loading areas regardless of its hydraulic advantages. We have numerous case studies where Marshalls\u2019 Priora paving blocks support the heaviest loads on the road. Read how Marshalls has helped Portakabin with a permeable solution requiring 200 tonnes loading capacity.<\/p>\n

Lack of aesthetic options<\/h3>\n

Permeable paving now comes in a variety of colours and plan sizes, so there really will be a paving option suitable for every project. Marshalls offer many different types of permeable paving in numerous colourways in both block and flag sizes.<\/p>\n

In short, the management of surface water needs to be considered at the start of every build project in order to slow the flow and hold excess water back in the most effective manner. Ignoring the issue altogether or being cautious about implementing new SuDs solutions will only increase flood risk for catchments downstream.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that using green space and natural \u2018soft\u2019 SuDS solutions are the ideal way for water to be managed, but for trafficked urban areas that require hard landscaping, permeable block pavements are a pragmatic, dual purpose alternative that are easy to install and maintain.<\/p>\n
