Permeable paving demonstration Stone paving in Santarém, Portugal. Permeable paving surfaces are made of either a porous material that enables stormwater to flow through it or nonporous blocks spaced so that water can flow between the gaps. Permeable paving can also include a variety of surfacing techniques for roads, parking lots, and ...
Many block paving manufacturing methods are now allowing the use of recycled materials in the construction of the paving bricks, such as crushed glass and crushed old building rubble. There are many different laying patterns that can be achieved using block paving. The most common of these is the herringbone pattern. This pattern is the ...

Cool pavements are commonly made with reflective coatings or aggregates applied to conventional pavements or incorporation of porous or permeable materials. [4] While pavement load capability may be reduced with more frequent maintenance requirements, [4] cool pavements show promising results in reducing ambient temperatures and reducing energy ...
Cobblestones set in sand have the environmental advantage of being permeable paving, and of moving rather than cracking with movements in the ground. The fact that carriage wheels , horse hooves and even modern automobiles make a lot of noise when rolling over cobblestone paving might be thought a disadvantage, but it has the advantage of ...
