    NeuPave is a permeable paving alternative that allows water to infiltrate the surface and permeate through to the underlying soil. It is manufactured in Malaysia and exported to other countries in Southeast Asia. Unlike traditional impermeable concrete, NeuPave reduces stormwater runoff and flooding by allowing water to percolate down. It has numerous advantages over standard pavement including reducing runoff and pollution while increasing stormwater storage and groundwater recharge. NeuPave can be used for applications like parking lots, paths, and driveways.

    NEUPAVE

    Permeable Pavers

    A Permeable
    Eco-Friendly Beauty

    As the first in Malaysia to


    manufacture this new paving
    technology, NeuPave is a paving
    alternative to more traditional types
    of hardscape flooring materials,
    where water is now allowed to
    permeate through the surface to
    underlying soil.

    An
    Introduction
    With more than 25 years experience in the paving industry,
    you can be assured of our expertise in advising you on the
    appropriate paving solutions for your home and landscaping
    project. Sunway Paving Solutions Sdn Bhd manufactures
    and supplies compressed concrete paving slabs, which
    are prominently featured along many of the streets and
    walkways throughout Malaysia. Our products are also
    exported regionally to Australia, Hong Kong, China and
    Singapore, leaving lasting impressions on the minds of
    those who walk on it.

    NeuPave
    Normal concrete pavements do not allow much water to
    infiltrate particularly if they are mortared in place. The flowing
    water would normally hit the surface and then flow down to the
    nearest drainage channel, becoming storm water runoff.
    NeuPave differs vastly from the above as its hard surfacing
    allows water to percolate to an underlying reservoir base.
    Permeable pavement can be used instead of standard
    concrete for surfacing sidewalks, driveways, parking areas and
    many types of pavement surfaces. As the usual concrete is
    considered to be impermeable, water that falls usually stays on
    the surface and cannot flow through the surface to the soils
    below, but rather runs to the lowest points to be drained away.

    General
    Information &
    Specifications

    This phenomenon is commonly found in most


    cement-based products. However, the effect is
    usually disappears over time due to weathering.
    Typically it takes about six to twelve months to
    clear the efflorescence through rain water, and
    in the worst case scenario it could take about
    two years.

    Sub-base

    Suitable for existing subgrade (ground) with good permeability,


    System A allows all water falling onto the pavement to infiltrate down
    through the constructed layers below and eventually into the subgrade.
    Some retention of the water will occur temporarily in the permeable
    sub-base layer allowing for initial storage before it eventually passes
    through. No water is discharged into conventional drainage systems,
    completely eliminating the need for pipes and gulley, and making it a
    particularly economic solution.

    System B Partial Infiltration*


    Used where the existing subgrade (ground) may not be capable of
    absorbing all the water. A fixed amount of water is allowed to infiltrate
    which, in practice, often represents a large percentage of the rainfall.
    Outlet pipes are connected to the permeable sub-base and allow the
    excess water to be drained to other drainage devices, such as swales,
    ponds, water courses or sewers. This is one way of achieving the
    requirement for reducing the volume and rate of runoff and will most
    likely remove the need for any long term storage.

    System C No Infiltration*
    Where the existing subgrade (ground) permeability is poor or contains
    pollutants, System C allows for the complete capture of the water. It
    uses an impermeable, flexible membrane placed on top of the subgrade
    level and up the sides of the permeable sub-base to effectively form
    a storage tank. Outlet pipes are constructed through the impermeable
    membrane to transmit the water to other drainage devices, such as
    swales, ponds, watercourses or sewers. Importantly, the outlet pipes are
    designed to restrict flow so that water is temporarily stored within the
    pavement and discharge slowed. System C is particularly suitable for
    contaminated sites, as it prevents pollutants from being washed further
    down into the subgrade where they could reach groundwater.

    Installation
    Procedure
    1. Basecourse

    3. Laying The Blocks

    Taking the existing sub-grade/soil


    conditions and the anticipated traffic
    loading into consideration, and adequate
    thickness of well compacted base
    course must be provided to ensure good
    pavement performance. Existing bitumen
    or concrete surfaces need not be removed
    and can act as good sub-grade.

    Paving blocks are placed side by side on


    the sand bed with gaps of approximately
    2mm between adjoining blocks. Fine
    sand is then spread and swept into the
    joints. Paving blocks can be cut to fit
    edges and awkward corners.

    4. Pavers Compaction
    2. Sand Bedding Layer
    A layer of sand should be loosely spread
    and screeded to uniform thickness such
    that its compacted thickness would be
    approximately 30mm - 50mm. The sand
    bedding should be compacted prior to
    installation of the pavers.

    The pavement is compacted with a


    hand-guided plate vibrator until it is
    firmly embedded.

    Note: For permeable (fine) finishes, a gunny sack


    (burlap) sheet is placed on top of the pavement
    before the compaction is done.

    5. Completion
    Normal Paver
    Water does not infiltrate but
    flows sideways, becoming runoff.

    NeuPave
    Water permeates through the surface.

    The permeable pavement is now


    completed and fully functional.
