Differences Between Permeable Concrete and Ordinary Permeable Pavers
Comparison of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Permeable Concrete and Ordinary Permeable Pavers:
1. Pervious concrete pavement construction
Process comparison: monolithic casting; overall structural strength and durability; excellent flexural and compressive resistance, high strength, and permeability; single-step forming with a short construction period.
Manual comparison: On-site pouring, dense, smooth, and cured in one go.
Performance Comparison: Permeable and Breathable, Rainwater Storage
High functionality: maintenance comparison: resistant to clogging and easy to clean; no need for repairs within 10 years.
Exterior Comparison: Strong Cohesion and Majestic Presence
2. Paving the ground with permeable bricks
Process comparison: Prefabricated assembly; prone to chipping and dents; susceptible to breakage; secondary tiling is time-consuming.
Manual comparison: On-site mixing and laying of mortar results in higher labor and material costs;
Performance comparison: low permeability; permeability decreases by 50% after one year.
Maintenance comparison: easily damaged and prone to breakage, making maintenance difficult; replacement required after more than 2 years.
Appearance comparison: Not suitable for large-area paving.
Pervious concrete operates on the same principle as pervious pavers: surface water is drained through its fine pores into the underlying layers of the paver or concrete. While cement pavers also allow some water to pass through, this occurs only after they have become fully saturated; seepage and drainage are distinct concepts. Pervious pavement is being increasingly adopted, but traditional pervious pavers deliver poor performance; the most advanced technology today is pervious concrete.
