The construction of sponge cities aligns with the urban development needs of the new era in Zengcheng District. Meishan is taking action to create sponge cities! Sponge cities primarily integrate comprehensive technologies such as urban green spaces, rainwater gardens, and permeable pavements to achieve ecological urban construction.
Colorful permeable concrete roads add vibrancy to sponge city construction! The construction technology of permeable concrete is a crucial method to achieve road spongeification, enabling the end-of-pipe collection of rainwater, storing moisture at the surface, nurturing groundwater and surrounding vegetation. With a porosity of 15-25%, it alleviates the urban heat island effect.
1. During heavy rainfall, it can alleviate the burden on urban drainage facilities, prevent river flooding and water pollution.
2. Facilitates rapid infiltration of rainwater into the ground, replenishes groundwater, and maintains soil moisture.
3. Prevents surface water accumulation and does not reflect at night, enhancing road safety and comfort for passage.
4. Adjust the temperature and humidity of urban spaces, improve the urban thermal cycle, and alleviate the heat island effect.
5. High porosity can reduce road noise during vehicle travel, creating a comfortable traffic environment.
6. Large voids can absorb urban pollutants (such as dust), reducing dust pollution.
7. Easy to maintain, gaps won't tear, and it's not prone to clogging.
8. Patterns can be designed to suit your needs, fully integrating with the surrounding environment.
Porous pavement is gaining attention for its exceptional environmental benefits. France was one of the first to propose the concept of permeable roadways, initially to address the difficulty of watering trees on park walkways. Therefore, it can be said that porous pavement was originally created specifically for landscaping flooring.
Porous pavements offer strong decorative and plasticity, with optimized color matching schemes that can complement designers' unique creativity, achieving various decorative styles required by different environments and personalities – something that is hard for conventional permeable bricks to accomplish.
