Earlier, a seemingly miraculous flood-fighting solution was unveiled: a new type of porous concrete that can absorb 880 gallons of water in just one minute, thereby alleviating pavement flooding in vulnerable areas. This permeable concrete is made from a coarse, pebble-like sand-free concrete mix, with a highly porous surface structure that allows water to infiltrate rapidly. Typical porous concrete can allow up to 300 millimeters of water to pass through per hour, meaning it can divert substantial volumes of water and help prevent flooding. Currently, several golf courses and parking lots have already begun using this material.
With the encouragement of the national government, an increasing number of new construction and renovation projects are now incorporating permeable concrete. The other day, a 100-square-meter demonstration pavement made of permeable concrete—developed in collaboration between a client and our company—was constructed in Jinan, with our technical staff on-site to provide guidance. The on-site conditions are as follows:
