NDS Permeable Paver Systems NDS Permeable Paver Systems are designed to provide design professionals with an alternative paving solution to concrete, asphalt or similar surfaces. The final area looks identical to regular turf or a gravel road, but can support anything from heavy vehicles, such as a firetruck, to daily vehicle parking. Reduced Stormwater Runoff The large open surface and bottom areas allow stormwater to percolate directly into the ground to significantly reduce runoff. Reduction of stormwater runoff minimizes the size requirements for water detention/retention ponds and can eliminate the need for large drainage systems. High Load Bearing Capacity NDS Permeable Pavers are designed with a series of hexagonal cells connected together to form a flexible grid system that can withstand significant structural loads. The grid system provides a stable and continuous load-bearing surface throughout large areas. Sustainable Products to Achieve LEED ® Credits Credit categories: • Construction Activity: Pollution Prevention • Stormwater Design: Quantity Control • Stormwater Design: Quality Control • Heat Island Effect: Non-Roof • Recycled Material Content 2
Recommended Uses: • Parking Lots • Pedestrian Trails • Horse Trails • Bicycle Paths • Garden Paths • Greenhouse Aisles • Sidewalks • Wilderness Paths • Fire Lanes • Maintenance Access Roads “These permeable pavers allow me to design a selfdraining solid ground surface that is strong enough to support heavy traffic. More important, I can design a drivable road without compromising the aesthetics of the landscape with concrete or asphalt.” Advantages to NDS Permeable Paver Systems EZ-Roll TM Grass & Gravel Pavers Concrete Asphalt Porous Hardscape Permeability PERMEABLE More than 40% void space in proper base course to absorb significant amount of rainfall before becoming saturated and creating runoff. NOT PERMEABLE 0% void space; it is completely impervious, it does not absorb rainfall. Expensive drainage system required. NOT PERMEABLE 0% void space; it is completely impervious, it does not absorb rainfall. Expensive drainage system required. PERMEABLE Void space in base course allows rainfall to be absorbed before creating runoff. Strength H20 LOAD RATING Gravel Paver cells support up to 66,000 psf (empty). Grass Paver cells support up to 57,888 psf (empty). As strong as concrete or asphalt when properly installed. H20 LOAD RATING As strong as a properly installed EZ-Roll Gravel Paver system. H20 LOAD RATING As strong as a properly installed EZ-Roll Gravel Paver system. H-20 LOAD RATING As strong as a properly installed EZ-Roll Gravel Paver system. Maintenance Cost LOW Requires gravel to be lightly graded once per year. Can save over 50% of maintenance costs over a 20 year life span. MODERATE Requires resurfacing every 15 years, and periodic repainting and filling of cracks. HIGH Requires sealcoating every 3 years, resurfacing every 15 years, and periodic repainting. HIGH Highly susceptible to clogging. Requires an expensive high pressure cleaning process. Aesthetics NATURAL Naturally blends in with the landscape. NOT NATURAL Does NOT blend in with the landscape.
