| Rain water infiltration is
important for the regeneration of valuable ground water and for the
irrigation and cooling of surfaces.
SF-RIMA TM permeable
pavements reduce or eliminate storm water runoff, decrease flooding and
relieve sewer systems - yet provide a sturdy pavement for vehicular traffic.
SF-RIMA TM , with it's
unique spacer design, can be installed in two very different ways:
For water drainage:

Installed in closed assembly with spacer on
stone. Joints willed with gravel. Ideal for mechanized installation. Stone
requirements: 22.8 stones/m2
For turf growth:

With larger joints - spacer on spacer -
filled with a soil-grave mix. Stone requirements: 20.4 stones/m2 |

Suitable for heavy loads and traffic.
Composition and Manufacture
SF-RIMA TM is made from a "no slump" concrete mix. Made under
extreme pressure and high-frequency vibrations. SF-RIMA TM has a
compressive strength greater than 8000 psi, a water absorption maximum of 5%
and will meet or exceed ASTM C-936 and freeze-thaw testing per section 8 of
ASTM C-67.
The joint material and the foundation (paver
bed, subbase, subgrade) must be permeable.
