Grasscrete™ was the perfect solution for this site as it reduces impervious surfaces and promotes infiltration. The common accessway, needed to be hard-wearing to support vehicle access while also being a permeable surface. Grasscrete™ was chosen as it met the Auckland shared accessway standard for 150mm reinforced slab, and minimised runoff from driving surfaces. Installation was completed for the subdivision, receiving council signoff. Grasscrete™ is an environmental paving system designed for high load-bearing and is ideal in low-traffic areas such as car parks, driveways and other applications such as spillways and erosion control. Grasscrete™ is also commonly used for housing and sites with very limited permeable areas. Grasscrete™ is a permeable surface that allows rainfall to penetrate which maximises non-permeable land use elsewhere. This permeable paving system essentially allows for grass to grow in between steel-reinforced concrete, which mimics natural processes and allows stormwater to infiltrate into the ground, where it percolates through the soil and is naturally filtered.
