Filtercrete: Pervious Concrete Pavement HD

Filtercrete Pervious Concrete: Not just a pavement, but a stormwater management system. Filtercrete pervious concrete is a structural pavement is a US EPA approved BMP that eliminates stormwater runoff, cleans stormwater and infiltrates the clean water into the ground. Filtercrete also fights urban heat island due to its light reflective surface reflecting sunlight, (Albedo can exceed .29). Filtercrete pervious concrete allows water to evaporate through the pavement, (evapotranspiration), and it is tree friendly allowing air to the roots, and protecting them from damage, and allowing every parking lot to look like an orchard. The number one source of water pollution in many watersheds in the US today is stormwater runoff from pavement. Filtercrete pervious concrete can mitigate the pollutants naturally through filtration, microbial conversion, and chemical bonding. The urban heat island is created largely by black pavements, (typically 60% of surface area in an urban environment), and roofs, (typically 25% of surface area in an urban environment). Filtercrete can help resolve both problems simply with your parking lot design, and have a safe surface, (no puddles, black ice or potholes) that requires less lighting (up to 30% less) and allows more trees to thrive and cover the entire lot with a healthy green canopy of trees, further cooling the area.
