At least a number of the voids are in fluid communication with each other. Wick elements are provided fluidly connecting at least a number of the voids with the cover for supplying fluid from the voids to the top layer.

A roundabout for vehicular traffic is provided from a plurality of modular blocks arranged in a generally circular roundabout pattern and affixed to a roadway or ground surface at an intersection of vehicle roadways. Roundabouts can be formed in any desired diameter. In some embodiments, the modular blocks can have a trapezoidal plan shape laid out in concentric rings. The trapezoidal shaped blocks can be cut from a length of board having a constant width and thickness. The modular blocks can be provided as a kit of parts delivered to worksite at an intersection of vehicle road-ways where a roundabout is desired. Splitter islands, sidewalks, and curbing of blocks having appropriate shapes can also be provided.

A customizable playing field includes a turf system comprising a tile with a turf layer. The tile overlays a subfloor, defining a reservoir thereunder. A forced air system includes a pipe disposed within the reservoir and operatively coupled to a pump; and a sensor. A control system controls the pump, and includes a processor in data communication with at least one input/output device and computer memory. The computer memory has a program with machine readable instructions that, when effected by the processor, perform the following steps: if the temperature is above a predetermined threshold as measured by the sensor, forcing a cool fluid through the pipe; and if the temperature is below a predetermined threshold as measured by the sensor, forcing a warm fluid through the pipe.

The present invention discloses a water storage system, comprising: a water storage brick, a water storage stick and a water storage unit, wherein the water storage stick and the water storage brick are made of construction waste, so as to realize recycling of the construction waste and achieve the effects of protecting the environment and saving resources. The water storage unit uses a mixture of the construction waste, a water retaining agent and an organic or inorganic fertilizer as a culture substrate, so as to retain water and increase the fertilizer. Because the resource utilization of the construction waste is realized, a good environmental protection effect can be achieved. The present invention provides a water storage system and a manufacturing method therefor, so as to effectively solve the problem of difficult water supply for greening and tree planting in arid and water shortage regions, benefit the improvement on an ecological environment, increase a vegetation coverage rate and bring important significance to resource utilization of rainwater and construction of the ecological environment.

A photoelectric water-permeable pavement underground water storage automation system includes a photoelectric module, a water-permeable unit, and a water-filled structure. The photoelectric module is arranged on a ground surface and includes a base. A solar panel is mounted on a top of the base. Fixing members are provided on a bottom of the base and positioned on the water-permeable unit. A bare empty area is provided inside the base. Communication pipes are connected to and extended outward from the bare empty area to communicate with adjacent bases. The water-permeable unit is a water-permeable pavement including a frame structure formed of multiple vertical water-permeable pipes and poured with concrete slurry. The water-filled structure is an underground water storage space formed of multiple-hole hollow unit cells. A water guide layer is provided at the top of the water-filled structure buried in an underground layer below the water-permeable unit.

A paving element includes upper and lower surfaces and one or more drainage channels extending through the paving element between the upper and lower surfaces. The drainage channels include a substantially concave or cupule shaped upper portion, provided on the upper surface of the paving element, and a channel from the concave portion through to the lower surface of the bottom surface of the paving element. The drainage channels can be complete, when provided in the interior of the paving element, or partial, when provided along the sides or perimeter of the paving element. The partial channels are completed when the paving element is placed adjacent another paving element when forming a pavement. The drainage channels are adapted to facilitate the cleaning process of the channels.

A modular assembly and method of installing a modular assembly is provided. The modular assembly can include a plurality of base members made of a plastic material, each base member including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite of the top surface, the bottom surface defining channels. A plurality of support members can be provided, each of the plurality of support members may extend across the plurality of base members and disposed within the channels of the plurality of base members. A mounting bracket can be configured to mount each of the plurality of support members to a metal plate of a lower support structure, the metal plate being received by a clamp of the mounting bracket. Each of the plurality of base members can adjoin one another to form a horizontal platform for traffic.

A detectable warning tile system has a tile base with an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface has a plurality of upward projections therefrom. The tile base has two side edges for alignment with corresponding side edges of other tiles, and front and rear edges. An area of the upper surface of the tile base is formed free of the detectable warnings and may include a trough into or over which a replaceable tile section may be placed. The tile base and/or replaceable tile section may be configured to receive one or more individually-installable detectable warnings.

A paving system for paving or flooring includes a top layer of a plurality of paving elements, and an underlayment support layer of a polymeric material configured into panels. The panels are suitable to support the paving elements, the panels having a generally planar support surface.

A plastic multipurpose component that is suitable as a building block and is filled with filling bodies is used to form a sheet-like assembly from a plurality of components. The multipurpose component has double-walled outer frame parts (2) with an outer frame wall, an inner frame wall and a tread surface connecting them, at least one coupling device (6, 8) for connecting two adjacent components being provided on each of the outer lateral surfaces thereof. Where appropriate inner walls (4) divide the interior of the outer frame (2) formed by outer frame parts into a pattern of cellular lead-throughs (6). Inner bottom support frames (11), and where appropriate, bottom transverse struts on the double-walled outer frame and inner frame serve for stabilizing and supporting at least one filling body introduced in the plastic multipurpose part.
