Heavy rains pose a major challenge to urban infrastructure. They not only cause flooding but also compromise the durability of road surfaces, increase the risk of accidents, and result in economic losses. Proper road drainage emerges as an effective solution to address these issues.
With the growth of cities and the need for green and permeable areas, pavement drainage using modern solutions has become increasingly valued.
What is pavement drainage?
Pavement drainage is not limited to simply draining rainwater. It involves creating an efficient system that supports the load of the soil and extends the service life of the surfaces. This process involves:
- Compaction of the subgrade and reinforcement soil: ensures the strength of the ground;
- Grading, when necessary: prepares the soil for the next steps;
- Installation of the drainage system: uses corrugated pipes, geotextile fabric, and a layer of crushed stone;
- Installation of permeable paving: ensures a balance between durability and permeability.
Why choose permeable pavements?
Permeable pavements offer real benefits for cities and natural environments:
- Sustainability: they allow water to infiltrate the soil, replenishing underground aquifers and reducing surface runoff;
- Flood reduction: by facilitating water absorption, they reduce the volume directed to drainage systems;
- Cost savings: they reduce repair costs by minimizing damage caused by rain and eliminating the need for materials like cement in some applications;
- Safety and efficiency: they improve vehicle traction and prevent accidents, while also contributing to soil quality.
These advantages solve immediate urban problems and create more resilient environments.
Permeable solutions with proven results
When you think of solutions that work, you can count on Techduto. We work to offer systems that truly deliver results:
- Techdreno and Techdreno DW: our ducts are designed for high absorption capacity and easy installation. Techdreno’s flexibility eliminates the need for connections for curves, while Techdreno DW effectively withstands heavy loads;
- Bidim geotextile mat: made of 100% polyester, it ensures soil separation and improves water flow, blocking particles that could compromise drainage;
- Drainage geocomposite: combines drainage and filtration in a single layer, ideal under floors and in retaining structures.
