Research backed, academically tested.

Porous Lane’s permeable pavement has been through a rigorous research and development program to ensure market-leading performance outcomes.

• Infiltration rate of 3-4cm per second (8 x higher than the ASCE standard) making it an attractive alternative to permeable concrete or asphalt

• Exfiltrated water can either be stored or diverted to the nearby vegetation depending on the application and aim of the installation.

• Highly durable with a design life of 25 years.

• Cost effective when performance is considered.

• a noticeable decline in total suspended solids and a significant drop in major heavy metals (attached to the TSS) and hydrocarbons happens due to the filtration feature of the product.

• No negative effects from leachate or microplastics.

The permeable pavement is made of a mix of virgin rock and up to 60% Australian recycled tyre material. Combining the two primary materials is the patented binder that gives the product it’s unique characteristics.

All product components are sourced locally from Australia.

Porous Lane products are available in a variety of UV stabilised colours.

Porous Lane has a dedicated team for installations that can install at a rate of 120 m2 per day. Alternatively the permeable pavement can easily be installed by civil contractor.

Porous Lane also offers design services when needed to ensure the most effective installation.

Due to the high porosity of the product, maintenance requirements are minimal.

In normal conditions, street sweeping of the surface every six months is sufficient to maintain permeability. In extreme conditions, vacuum sweepers or pressure washers can be used to recover permeability if clogging occurs.

In the instance the surface is damaged, it can be patched with fresh mixture. In the case of serious damage, the damaged area can be cut and replaced with a fresh mixture.

At the end of the product lifecycle (25 years), the materials can be recycled and reused.
