DATA SHEET Hudromedia FASTER DRAINING THROUGH CONCRETE Performance Quality Innovation Hydromedia is an ideal solution for surface and storm water management. Typically containing at least 20% void space, it allows water to pass directly through it at a permeability of 150 -1000 L/min/m2 Applications Commercial and residential parking lots o Pavements, bike &pedestrian pathways O Patios o Courtyards o Swimming pool decks O Alleyways o Driveways O Pavement edge drainsand gutters. Advantages of Hydromedia In common with standard Pervious: o Can form part of a cost-effective Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) o Eliminates need for detention ponds O Offers space saving for more efficient land development o Mitigates surface pollutants Additional advantages of Hydromedia: o Robust wearing surface o Fasterdraining o Smooth clean look o Ease ofplacement o Low compactability Technical features 1. Unit weight is up to 30% less than conventional concrete 6. Typical Nominal Maximum Aggregate size: 14mm (May vary according to regional availability)

Safety features There are two factors that determine pavement system design thickness: f Reduces glare from wet pavements Eliminates water accumulation from heavy rain Hydraulic properties such as permeability (related to yearly average rain f ll) and volume voids (related to water storage) fa Safety precautions Structural properties such as ﬂexural strength offering better load bearing properties The use of safety goggles, hard hat, ear defenders and gloves is f recommended when placing concrete. Selection of appropriate Hydromedia properties is dependent on the more dominant between: The...
