Tarmac has created Topmix Permeable, a porous concrete that allows rain water to flow though it.
Up to 880 gallons of water can trickle through Topmix, which could eliminate flooding where it has been installed.
This type of concrete can be used in parking lots and urban areas to help prevent flash floods. Allowing the concrete to soak up the excess water eliminates puddles making the roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and bike paths a safer place. The water gets recycled back into the groundwater or drainage system.
