Additional info
Traditional paved surfaces are laid to shed water. Unfortunately this can mean that drains are quickly overwhelmed after heavy rainfall. As a result, planning rules increasingly require proposals for large paved areas to include measures to reduce the risk of localised flooding. ULTIPOROUS asphalt has an open structure which means that rainwater quickly flows into the asphalt structure and is then slowly released into the ground, helping to avoid standing water and flooding.
For driveways: 6mm porous surface course (recommended at 30mm thickness) suitable for hand lay. 20mm porous binder course.
For footpaths & cycleways: 6mm porous surface course (recommended at 30mm thickness) suitable for hand lay. 20mm porous binder course.
For car parks: 10mm porous surface course (recommended at 35mm thickness). 20mm or 32mm porous binder course.
Specialist base aggregate:
Tarmac’s ULTIFLOW sub-base aggregate is recommended, for a complete permeable pavement solution.
