PERMEABLE RESIN-BOUND PAVING IS THE IDEAL CHOICE FOR SUDS IN DEVELOPMENTS

[A POPULAR AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTION in the field of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) is SureSet resin-bound paving. SuDS are designed to mimic natural drainage processes, reducing the risk of flooding and pollution caused by traditional impermeable surfaces. As a porous paving material, SureSet resin-bound paving offers an excellent SuDS solution, while adhering to new standards in the construction industry.

SureSet resin-bound paving is made by combining high-quality aggregates with a UV-stable resin binder. That results in a durable, smooth and visually appealing surface that allows water to permeate through to the ground beneath. The permeable nature of SureSet paving helps to manage surface water run-off effectively, reducing the pressure on existing drainage systems. It also filters pollutants, preventing them from entering watercourses and protecting the environment.

The use of SuDS is increasingly becoming mandatory in many construction projects, with local authorities and regulatory bodies imposing strict regulations to mitigate the impact of urbanisation on water management. SureSet resin-bound paving meets those requirements by providing a sustainable and environmentally-friendly solution. It complies with the principles of SuDS by allowing water to infiltrate, attenuate and cleanse the site naturally, minimising the risk of flooding and reducing pollution.

Furthermore, new standards in the construction industry are emphasising the importance of sustainable practices and materials. SureSet resin-bound paving aligns with those standards by offering a longlasting and low-maintenance solution. Its permeable nature reduces the need for additional drainage infrastructure, saving costs and resources.

The durability of SureSet paving means it can withstand heavy traffic loads, making it suitable for various applications such as car parks, footpaths and public spaces.

In addition to its functional benefits, SureSet resin-bound paving also offers aesthetic versatility. With a wide range of aggregate colours and textures available, it can be customised to suit any design requirement, enhancing the visual appeal of a project.

Overall, SureSet resin-bound paving is an excellent choice for SuDS and construction projects seeking to meet the mandatory standards for sustainable drainage and environmental impact reduction. Its permeable properties, durability, low maintenance requirements and aesthetic versatility make it a reliable and environmentally-conscious option in the construction industry. q
