Case Study: Cost-Saving Permeability

Client Private Developer

Application Driveway in Townhouse Development

Size: 26sqm

Waste Tyres Recycled: 78

Description The installation of a section of permeable pavement

Goals To increase the site permeability percentage by installing a porous driveway.

Outcome By installing a permeable driveway the client was able to maintain a higher percentage of site permeability and greater infiltration of stormwater. This reduced the load to the local stormwater system and resulted in a cost saving to the client of approx. $30,000 in stormwater upgrades that would have otherwise been required.
