Permeable Pavement | PaveDrain

PaveDrain

Website: www.pavedrain.com

Ernest Maier has partnered with ECS Solutions to exclusively manufacture, market, and distribute PaveDrain® throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. PaveDrain® is a premier, one-of-a-kind permeable pavement system classified in the industry as a "Permeable Articulating Concrete Block/Mat" (P-ACB/M). The system creates an aethestic and durable pavement integrated with a stone reservoir to temporarily store surface runoff. The benefit... the earth has a chance to recapture filtered stormwater and hydrate. Ahhhh.

Maryland Department of the Environment Approves PaveDrain

"WMA has reviewed your recent submittal and concurs that the results of recent independent testing conducted in accordance with ASTM C1701/C1701M-09 demonstrate that the PaveDrain® paver meets the surface permeability criterion."

Excerpt from Progress Report on an installation in Bladensburg, MD completed in 2010

"After 13 months, we have observed that your pavement system has required no vacuuming, needs less surface treatments during snow or ice events, and infiltrates 100% of the direct rainfall on it as well as all of the runoff from the roof of our building. We believe that your innovative system will assist in our effort to keep the Anacostia River clean for years to come."
