Stormwater Management

Municipalities across Canada and the U.S. can save $4-6 million per kilometre by installing a PurePave permeable road shoulder — eliminating the need to prematurely replace at-capacity storm sewer systems. Includes technical performance data, cost comparisons, and a breakdown of why porous asphalt and pervious concrete fall short in cold climates.

Stormwater management with permeable pavement in parking lots resulting in ROI for developers across North America. PurePave permeable parking lot system use eliminates stormwater pond, pipes, oil grit separator in projects across Ontario Canada. Major parking lots completed in Kansas City USA and roadway projects specified for City of Ottawa, City of Toronto and NYC.

It has taken an “army of volunteers” to help Ottawa and the surrounding community combat surging waterways this Spring. At first, water levels were only predicted to equal those of the presumed once-in-100-years flood in 2017, however we have exceeded the worst seen in 2017 this year. This has prompted city officials to investigate how to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on existing and new infrastructure. “With climate change we're going to see more of these

The urban design of cities across the world is slowly shifting towards a greener landscape. This movement has come to counter balance mass urbanization which consequently gives rise to impervious surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. These surfaces accumulate stormwater, pollutants, and are susceptible to flooding, which result in devastating economic and environmental repercussions for our communities. Understanding the water cycle, however, gives us an opportunity to gra
