The unique design of the AquaPave® permeable paver system allows rainwater to drain through six vertical channels built into the paver at a rate of 9000 mm/hr (354 in/hr). The rainwater is also filtered through an Inbitex® geotextile membrane to remove most pollutants before being discharged in a controlled manner into the subsoil and evacuated into an existing sewer system or collected for reclamation and reuse.
